[/dropshadowbox]Benefits – Benefits – Benefits
Having a review by us or having an interview helps the traffic to the developers website. As was bought to our attention recently when we did an interview and reviewed a plugin for a developer who sent us snap shots of their traffic before and after the shows and the traffic stayed so there is some great benefits to being reviewed by WP Plugins A to Z.

John’s Rant: What to rant about?
Make sure you checkout the WPSupport store. where you can get direct access to some of the best plugins we have reviewed located all in one place. We do not host the plugins but provide the link to download it direct from WordPress.org or the plugin developer, and they may occasionally have an affiliate link but not too often since that adds a whole new layer of work to what I have to do.
For developers who find value in what we are doing here please donate that value back to the show.

I saw it implemented on another website, and I thought it was brilliant because it actually seemed to make the concept of donating to a blogger fun! Something about the simple design & concept really seemed appealing. I don’t have any association with the plugin author or anything. Just thought it would something neat to share with your audience!

Magic Tool Tips for Gravity Forms
Premium Plugin $19.95
submitted by Russ Mate
The lowdown:
This is a pretty good plugin to add functionality to your gravity form to help give reminders or additional info so that it looks clean. A pretty great plugin easy and simple to use. Just remember it does not work without the license added to it. One suggestion would be to move the menu for the plugin under the gravity forms menu.
