WP King is Changing

Good afternoon everyone, most of you will probably realize that this blog has been severely neglected over the past two or three months.  So this week I have made myself a promise that WP King will undergo an extreme makeover and re-launch.  Here’s a summary of what will be changing on WP King this week:

  • Fresh New Look
  • New Logo
  • Regular posts written by experienced writers and knowledgeable guests
  • More free Wordpress themes designed and programmed by us.

I really want WP King to build up in popularity again and become a highly interactive blog between us and you the readers.  We are always open to comments and suggestions.

Please remember to follow us on Twitter here to receive progress reports throughout the week.

Increase your Readership with Related Posts


Are you looking for a fast and easy way to keep your visitors reading your blog?  If so, one of the easiest ways is to include a related post plugin.

A related post plugin will display to your readers some other of your posts which are related to the ones they are already looking at, these could be matched by keywords, title and tags.  The more time the reader spends on your site is advantageous in every way.  So lets look at some of the best related posts plugins out there for wordpress.

  • Yet Another Related Posts Plugin - Probably my favourite due to its simplicity, after the easy install, it automatically displays related posts at the bottom of every post.  You can also adjust this plugin to work on your RSS feed.  Related pages function also implemented.
  • Wordpress Related Posts Plugin - Another fast and easy option, simiar to the above and can run in the sidebar.
  • Contextual Related Posts - Displays a list of 5 related posts to the one you are reading.  These related posts will appear just below the comments form.  Easy to use and install.

Those 3 are probably the best ones out there today, some Wordpress themes have this function already integrated which is a bonus for some.

Please drop a comment below if you have any suggestions regarding related posts on wordpress and their benefits.

Why I can’t Live without Mindomo

This is somewhat a random post which isn’t really related to Wordpress as such, but it will apply to everyone out there who does run a blog or a business.

Most people would say that they have a lot of information coming out of different sources and are placed on many different mediums such as a word processor, pieces of paper scattered around the office, files and flash drives.  There are many organizational and mind-mapping tools out there, many of which I have used in the past to manage all my tasks, but few have been as impressive as Mindomo.

Mindomo is a free and easy to use mind-mapping application, the basic package is free, as of yet I have not found any real reasons to upgrade to the paid version.  It’s all online and it allows you to create charts, brain storms, relational mappings etc.  I really don’t think I could manage without it now.

It’s fast and easy to get up, fill in the registration form which takes a couple of minutes and away you go!  Everything is self-explanatory but there are help pages on there if you are unsure of anything.

I would strongly suggest you try it out at the least.  I use it for my weekly to-do tasks, store contact information and as a planning tools for my blogs and business.

So head over to Mindomo.com!

I would love to hear from anyone else who uses this application, especially regarding the benefits of the paid version.
