Crush It

Posted by riscphree – January 5, 2010

I got this book as a Christmas present from a friend, and it’s probably the best one I’ve gotten.

Gary Vaynerchuk’s Crush It is a very motivating and inspirational book for people that want to make money pursuing their passion. He gets down to the nitty gritty and explains how to do this, with mostly dedication and just plain old work.

This book will help you make cash. Period. It compliments the previous book I mentioned on my blog, The Art of the Start, very well.

If you’re wanting to make money online while doing something you love to do, then give it a read. It is kind of a short book at 160 pages, so you’ll have it done in no time and the motivation as well.

Also what a great way to start off the new year.

I am starting a new site called WTFlicks.com. It’s a movie review site of movies that make you think WTF?!?

If you have any recommendations of movies for me to review, please let me know.

Must Have WordPress Plugins

Posted by riscphree – October 24, 2009

Here is my list of WordPress plugins I use on my of my sites I deploy:

Contact Form 7 – This gives you a great looking contact form. Highly customizable with an option for adding a captcha.
Akismet – Stop spam. This comes with every WordPress install. You need a key for it, register at wordpress.com. It’s free!
Google XML Sitemap – Add a good XML sitemap for your site.
WordPress Auto Upgrade – This makes upgrading the most easy thing. No excuse to not keep your site safe and up to date.
WP Super Cache – I use this on the sites that get a lot of traffic. There is very much a noticeable difference when you use this. It really speeds your site up.
Twitter Tools – Best Twitter plugin for WordPress. Use this to tweet your blog posts.
Lightbox 2 – Makes your images show up in a lightbox. Extremely handy.
Chili Code Highlighter – Best plugin to syntax highlight code. You can see examples of it on my site here, Write on images with PHP
WPrecaptcha – Akismet and this plugin will stop all spam. Must have.
WPaudio – This is great if you want to share some mp3s on your site. I use this here on my site, My New Ringtone

What plugins do you use? Leave me a comment!
