For this post, I’m going tech geeky on you folks. I’ve been in love with WordPress and its multitude of plug-ins ever since I first tried to be cool by creating my own WordPress-powered blog. So for this Top 5 Lists post, I’m going to give you my top 5 favorite WordPress plug-ins. Yeah, the stuff that the blogger in me can’t live without.

#5: Admin Dropdown Menu - It may seem useless at first, but when it’s crunch time and you need to go to a lot of different places in your WordPress administration panel, Admin Dropdown Menu saves you a lot of clicks and time. Seriously, it makes using the admin side a lot more easy and efficient.

#4: WordPress Database Backup - Another seemingly “redundant” plug-in since you can just go into whatever software you’re using to manage your database to back it up, but like Admin Dropdown Menu, this makes things easier. You can do the backup right in the admin side and you can choose which tables you can backup in addition to the core database WordPress tables. Sweet.

Baddie Bookmarks, my series of posts that documents my web surfing habits, won’t be complete if I don’t talk about the blogs I regularly visit. Most of those blogs are being authored by Filipinos, but there are sprinkles of foreign blogger blood in my feed reader too.

The Man Blog and the individual blogs of its resident retards: rising Internet star Mikey; Adam Mordo, the human walrus; the newly hitched MigraineBoy; Coco, El Gran Douche-O; the best damned thing since Coco, Riffology; Squid, the Snarkinator; the retarded daily NoisyNoisyMan; and that dude who creeps me out, Steel. Just when you thought you can’t take this fraternity’s badassery anymore with the blog, they take it a notch higher with the awesome awesomeness of the TMB Forum. Disclosure: My soul has already been corrupted by this group of degenerates ever since they inducted me into their manly ranks. Assholes.

The thing I love about the holidays is the unwritten rule that you have to reflect on the past year. The things that changed. The things that stayed the same. It’s an excuse to be all reflective and emo and shit. And to abide by this unwritten rule, I came up with a list of all significant and not-so-significant-but-worth-noting events of my 2006. Because lists rule!

For a week that features several Civil War tie-ins, “war” is not very apparent with my comic book geek life this week. Apart from the lovefest inside the comics I read this week (more on that later), I also joined the brand new social networking site for comic book fans. I’m talking about ComicSpace. It’s far from being a clone of Friendster or MySpace. And that’s a compliment.

1. Coming up with ideas for a blog post can be sooo exhausting.
2. When the most brilliant ideas manifest themselves in your fragile mind, you’re either in a situation where you can’t go online or even take down notes, or you’re too lazy to open your computer and type your mind away.
3. Given enough time, your blog will attract admirers, stalkers, and vandals. Hooray.
4. Your ex is reading how bitter your life is right now. She’s evil.
5. No matter how good you think you are in writing good material, there will always be better writers writing better material a few clicks away. And it makes you sad.
6. Earning money from your blog is not an exact science. It’s a mix of chance and divine intervention.
7. Whoever you think is not reading your blog, probably is.
8. A pretty blog will only hold visitors for a few minutes. Content is where it’s at, yo!
9. One entry is all it takes to set your blog on fire, negatively or positively.
10. If you can’t come up with a good idea for a blog post, the good ol’ “10 Things…” list can always save your day.

I posted this list originally at Pinoy Blogosphere. Yeah, I’m feeling copy-paste-ish today.
