Listener Feedback
Robert has a question about creating sound clips as song previews. Unfortunately there is nothing in WordPress that can edit audio yet. You’ll have to create your own preview clips.

SharePrints Gallery
https://freakplugins.com/shareprints/
While this is a pretty great gallery plugin the biggest flaw I found in ti was the lack of ability to add images in bulk, you have to select them on at a time. The install and setup is easy enough and choosing to display the gallery a breeze just create your galleries and then insert into posts/pages via the quick button. Then choose your layout This ia a pretty good plugins for the price of $39.

[plugin_name src=”orbital-feed-reader”] Overview:
This is a great feed reader especially if you are doing research for a post or if you are like many people out there who write additional articles based on what they read. This make it easy to get a pull quote from an article and drop it right into a post. While the layout and functionality is a little raw in its appearance it seems to work very well and to give it a good go I added it to my secret blog site as a place to test some ranting on article and stories. And it seems to work quite well..

Download [plugin_name src=”better-admin-pointers”]
[plugin_name src=”better-admin-pointers”] Overview:
This plugin allows creation and placement of Admin Pointers (those little blue help boxes) on any page or post, including custom post types. It creates a custom post type called Pointers to store information. You need to add the following info to make it work:
Title – the part in the blue title bar
Main content area
Pointer id – A unique id so that it can be tracked in the WP DB as dismissed
Screen – What page/screen it should appear on
Target – CSS id or class we want the pointer to attach to on the screen above
Position Edge – top, bottom, left, or right
Position Align – top, bottom, left, right, or middle
Overall this is a really great plugin for creating small areas of help within your WordPress installation. Great customization features that allow you to get into very finite detail.

[plugin_name src=”editor-color-on-word-count”] Overview:
Google or other search engines love longer articles because of in-depth keywords and detailed analysis (if required). Editor Color on Word Count plugin helps you in achieving this goal as it automatically changes the color of the content editor based on number if words written yet for that article. For example, if you have written 90 words so far, the editor color would be light red and when you cross the 100 words limit, it changes to yellow. After 300 words, it automatically changes to green which means now you have crossed your set goal and keep writing.
