Well fear not, because I have discovered a super handy addon for you Firefox users called Wordpress helper, that makes updating each of your blogs as easy as a couple of clicks.

Once installed the Wordpress helper Firefox addon will look like this at the bottom of your browser.

If you click on that little Wordpress icon a box should popup like this.

At the top of that little box you will see the words “current profile”. This shows what Wordpress blog you will be using at the current time. Underneath that you will see the word “profiles”. This is where you can set up your Wordpress blogs.

If you click on any of the options under that such as “write post”, “create page” or “dashboard”, it will take you straight to the blog that is set up in your current profile.

Before you can actually use these options as a shortcut to your blogs, you have to first set up your blog profiles. To do this hover you mouse over the profiles option, and a little box will appear to the side (see pic above). Click on settings and another box will appear like this:

In this box you can type all of the blogs addresses that you own. Once you have typed in all of your blog’s addresses, and clicked on save, you will be able to choose which blog you wish to be in your current profile, and then access that blog with a click of a button.

The Firefox Wordpress addon does so much more than just this. You should download it and check it out for yourself.

1. Use a static frontpage. In your Wordpress dashboard you have the options to turn any of your pages into your front page, so it will be the first page that everyone will see when they visit your site. This will give it the look and feel of a static site. To do this login to your dashboard and choose “settings”, then click on “reading”.

Then choose “a static page” and choose the page you would like to display on the front of your blog from the drop down list.

2. Remove the time and date stamp from your posts. If you don’t plan on updating your site all that often it may  be a good idea to remove the ime and date stamp from your posts and pages. Then when a visitor turns up on your site your content won’t look outdated. To do this you will have to fiddle with your code a little bit, here’s how:

First step is to login to your Wordpress dashboard and then click on “design”. Next choose “theme editor” and choose “single post” from the right hand side. Then you need to delete this piece of code:

<?php the_time('d M Y'); ?>

You may have to open other a few of your other template files and make sure that t his code doesn’t appear there too. (Click image to enlarge).

3. Make prettier permalinks. Dont’t you just hate those standard Wordpress permalinks that look a bit like this: http://YOURSITE.com/?page_id=11. Well these permalinks are not only bad for SEO, they are a huge turn off to your visitors too. To change permalinks, again login to your Wordpress dashboard and choose “settings”. Next click on “permalinks” and choose “custom structure”. Then write in the box next to it “/%postname%/”, like this:
