In the latest instalment of the WordPress Weekly Watch series, I take a look at some of the posts I’ve published elsewhere, as well as some of the posts I didn’t write, but wish I did, or simply enjoyed reading from the last week.
April 6th to April 12th 2015
If you want to grow the audience for your website and build your email list, then the free email optin forms, social sharing, and visitor analytics tools from SumoMe are just what you need. Find out how they can help you in this article I wrote for the HostingKingdom blog.
Another way to promote your content is to install the free Advanced Random Posts widget which does as its name suggests. Also on the Pagely blog, I wrote about the Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin. If you are publishing your own podcast, this free tool certainly is easy to use and allows you to export your feed to iTunes.
If you want more ways to promote your order content, this list of 10 plugins for breathing life back into your published content on the WPMU Dev blog is worth checking out.
I think that was about it for last week from me. Now for some other interesting WordPress-related posts from elsewhere on the internet:
Find out how to post an animated GIF to Twitter with Buffer, by Brian Jackson.
WP Matter covers how to track outbound links on a WordPress website with Google Analytics.
Kim Doyal, the WP Chick interviews Matt Medeiros about his journey from car salesman to WordPress entrepreneur.
The WP Tavern team look at Give, a free plugin for accepting online donations through your WP site.
On the WP Curve blog you can find 14 surprising morning routines of entrepreneurs and creative types. If you haven’t read the Morning Miracle book yet, I recommend that too.
If you are a blogger who struggles for post topics and ideas, this list of 40 of them from Chris Lema is just for you.
