To totally bang home my love for WordPress I wanted to share a nice page that breaks down a lot of useful expansions on the basic WP functionality: Stupid WordPress Tricks
There’s a lot there, in fact there are 76 tricks to peruse. Most of it is somewhat technical as far as how to implement it, but I wanted to share because sometimes examples of what you can do with a tool gives you that “Aha!” moment to really add on some cool stuff to your own projects.
So peruse that list. Find some cool stuff to do, and know it can be done so you can ask for it.
One thing I think I may do with that list is show examples of how to use that added functionality in your own project. First up Meta Descriptions without a plugin. This is a pretty easy one, and you can see it in action on the LegalOut.com site that I set up in WordPress. Outside of just the meta description we set up several custom fields to display different content on different pages.
I’m definitely looking forward to pulling a lot of added functionality ideas from this list.
