So in thinking of things to write for this blog, and since its technology / geek orientated I figured I’d do a Wordpress plugin of the week type thing, since firstly I’m using Wordpress for my blog, and secondly I figured it would be useful to provide some feedback and a mini review on some of the Wordpress plugin’s that are floating around out there.

The plugin of the week is, drum roll please, Adsense-Deluxe plugin for Wordpress.  This plugin allows you to easily and simply put in Adsense code anywhere on your site.  By going into the options and defining your different types of ads and the codes associated with them you can easily create very simple PHP calls that can be plugged in anywhere on your site, where you plugin the call, your Adsense code will appear.  Its useful in keeping everything clean and simple and provides a nice little interface to keep track of all the different Adsense ads you might have.  I’ve read some folks have up to 7 different types of Adsense blocks on their sites, so this would be a great tool to keep those in check.

3) You go to your parents to fix their computer because they are having problems, you fix it and instantly by the time you get home something else is wrong with it. The problem becomes more profound the further away you live from them.

2) You buy the newest graphics card, DVD burner, photo printer etc, and as soon as you get it home and start using it, you find something way better and usually cheaper than what you bought.

1) Computers are out to get us, its not paranoia its a fact, just look at Dell batteries, they explode, if that’s not to be taken personally, well I don’t know what is.
