The first thing when creating a website, after having a good company name, is the search of a web hosting company, you need the best service according to your necessities, not all the websites have the same needs, neither all providers the same plans and prices. This can become a hard task with all the companies out there offering the best hosting service everywhere, but how do you really know that one of those is the best, well, thanks to some factors like; clients and testimonials, offers and discounts, number of clients etc, but collecting all that information can be a long and painful task, most if you are not really a internet search master.

Today I was doing a research about some plugins I used when starting my blog and found interesting, that from the most popular wordpress plugins, I almost tested all in some moment of my short blogging career, and I am sure most of us have use them to, because they are, for some bloggers part of the site already. Plugins like Google XML, All in one Seo Pack or Akismet are known for all.

One great thing about wordpress as CMS are the thousands of plugins you can find to improve any aspect of your blog and even better you don’t need any code skills or experience to use them! For that reason they are present in all kind of blogs. These 30 plugins are the most popular because they are excellent or just useful, people who has used them, were such happy, they even went to wordpress.org and rated, to show the author and their colleagues how the plugin was really useful for them. So from there I took the 30 first and put them here for you.

Obviously you can’t have all these plugins installed on your blog because it could be a time bomb before they collapse, but you can try at least some of these according to your needs. I just give you a little opinion about them and is up to you is they can help you getting your blog better, more comments, or creating a community, here you have them.

Until now you will find on the wordpress plugin section:

7,388 plugins, 63,095,089 downloads, and counting

Here we go with the video of the week section where I bring to you a great inspirational video found on internet throughout the work week, it could be a motion graphics or an animation, 2d or 3d, even a trailer or music video with some great design or animation techniques.

I try to bring a wide variety of outstanding shorts to your attention on this section, this impressive short “Alive in Joburg” a 2005 project where real video is mixed to some 3d effects to create a little documentary about aliens and how they are living on the earth since 1990. I know you may think this is a copy of the film District 9 but not, is the opposite.

The director of this short film, Neil Blomkamp is really talented as we can appreciate on this video and some others like Citroen C4, Nike or tembot, and thanks to the success of this mock documentary, he become the director of the film release on 2009 by Tri Start pictures, based on the same scenario and includin some actors from the short like Sharlto Copley.

Directed by: Neil Blomkamp

Blog action day is today and my little contribution is this article about how everyone can learn, help and act to combat climate change, because this is not just for big companies to take action about this problem, this is about everyone doing his part to create a difference in this planet, my part is this article with some videos about the planet and information of how we are

Climate change is a  big problem for every one of us, living on a farm between mountains or in an apartment on the city, we all are affected for how the planet is changing every second, some are more responsible than others, some  are more aware about this problem than others or some doesn’t even care but the true is, that we all can do at least one little action  for the planet where we live, turning off the lights if you don’t need them, using public transport services instead of your car everyday, walking for short distances instead of taking the car, recycle, buying ecological electric products.

Just as examples I put together some videos related to climate change and our planet and how we waste the resources of it. So take a look and make part of the solution not the problem.

And if you haven’t seen I recommend you this great film Home by Yann Arthus-Bertrand
