I won’t lie, I certainly would not call myself an ‘expert’ on Wordpress, I’m getting there though. As always, my education section (in chronological order to teach from the beginning onward) is aimed at educating on all that is RSS Feeds, Wordpress and the Internet. So here are recent tips from ‘experts’:

The Wordpress Reports Plugin utilizes information from Google Analytics and from Feedburner and displays the crucial statistics for your blog right in your Wordpress “Site Admin” menus. I love it and it’s definitely different information and output compared to the Wordpress Stats plugin (plus you don’t need a Wordpress.com API).
Features:
- Provides you with a birds-eye view of what?s going on with your site
- Retrieves data from Google Analytics and Feedburner
- Reports are represented visually with graphs
- Choose the reports you want to view
- Ability to automatically install the Google Analytics tracking code for you, along with optional outbound link tracking.
- Includes a WordPress widget to display your most popular content.
- Automatically check for updates to the plugin
- Other services coming soon (hopefully)?
Using this information, I can see what is popular in order to focus my content on my visitors, because my posts and this information isn’t just for my benefit.

Basically, after manually updating for the past 2 Wordpress Updates, I noticed that on my Bluehost Hosting Package whenever I clicked on my Wordpress Installations it always had the original version # and asked if I wanted to “Upgrade” to the latest Wordpress version. Here’s the easy fix:
Very odd, but as I was writing the previous post on Manual Upgrade Wordpress Installation via FTP - in 5 Easy Steps and went back to the “Upgrading Wordpress Extended Detailed Instructions Page” and it had changed to include more information. Check it out. They basically compressed several pages into one. Looks much better. Kudos.
I have to admit, although I was afraid of the effects of doing this, I still did it and it worked… But be forewarned, always BACKUP your Wordpress installation and probably follow all of the Wordpress Upgrade Instruction steps just in case. Here’s what I did:
Once again, be forewarned, this technically could cause a lot of problems, especially because I didn’t deactivate a single plugin, but it worked for me.
“Cheat Sheets” are used, especially in web design, code writing, API’s and large sites like Google to grasp all the variables in just 1 - 10 single pages. Usually each page has their own topic in order to break them down. On Kahi’s “Wordpress Cheatsheets Summarized” he collects 9 cheat sheets:
Definitely worth looking through and definitely worth printing if you plan to edit your Wordpress installation or develop plugins.
Now this is all based on this Wordpress Support post, but there are some additions and I placed the code here for your convenience: How can I have more text widgets in my template?
Basically (using Wordpress 2.2.2) you can find the widgets.php file in the WP-INCLUDES/ directory. Open it and back it up just in case… Now here are the changes:
If you are too afraid, I edited (for Wordpress 2.2.2) the widgets.php for 15 text widgets… Drop into your wp-includes and your done.
