Best 4 Wordpress Calendar plugins

Still in search of a perfect calendar…

I still have hopes and dreams that the perfect calendar is out there somewhere, but I can’t seem to find The One. I’m looking for a Wordpress compatible calendar that can do the following:

  • recurring events – monthly, weekly, bi-weekly
  • month view
  • list view with option to see 15 results for upcoming events and then to click “Next” to see next results
  • import a csv file of ongoing events
  • Advanced search functionality to do the following. For example, search for Events in New York City on December 1. Or to search by venue, city, topic, and other categories.
  • RSS events feed
  • user level management – a way for different organizations to submit and manage their own events
  • Email notifications when someone has added or edited an event

A complete list of search engine friendly (SEO) WordPress plugins for your Blog

After being on WordPress for over four months now, I thought I would compile a quick list of WordPress plugins that I’ve used to optimize my blog for search engines. I have found that most lists out there include a couple of these, so I thought I would try to create a master list of the best SEO plugins for WordPress. These SEO plugins are very useful and actually quite essential if you want your blog to rank well in Google. Most of them require little to no customization and work perfectly right after installation.

1. Permalink Redirect – A very nice plugin that supplies a 301 redirect if the requested URL is different from the post’s permalink. For example, if you were to type in this address into your web browser, http://www.online-tech-tips.com/wordpress/the-best-way-to-move-from-blogger-beta-to-wordpress, it will automatically be changed to include an ending “/” after the post name. This ensures that there is only one URL for each blog post entry and avoids duplicate content issues. Download Permalink Redirect
