WP Help: A Simple Plugin for Documentations

I’m sure you’ve had a need for something like this. While building WordPress–powered sites and blogs for other people, you sometimes need to provide some documentation for them to use the site correctly. A “style guide” is the first thing that comes to mind—like how authors should format their headlines as well as structure their post content. The WP Help plugin by Mark Jaquith solves problems like this, as described:

Administrators can create detailed, hierarchical documentation for the site’s authors and editors, viewable in the WordPress admin.

Now if you’re building a custom WP site with lots of customizations and tweaks, the WP Help plugin will make things easier for you and your users.

Content Delivery Network

Is your blog growing big fast? If you’re overshooting your bandwidth allocations or your server is slowing down to a crawl with your continuous traffic, maybe it’s time for you to consider utilizing a CDN (Content Delivery Network). Here’s Wikipedia’s brief description:

A content delivery network or content distribution network (CDN) is a system of computers networked together across the Internet that cooperate transparently to forward stage content closer to end users, most often for the purposes of improving performance and scalability.

A CDN is a cost–effective way of offloading your content to other servers so you can deal with the more important performance aspect of your site. If you’re using WordPress for your site or weblog, there are two plugins that will do the CDN dirty work for you:

The first one works only with the Amazon S3 service while the latter works only with Cloud Files.

Consider a CDN solution next time your site seems slow to load, it just might be your solution.
