First, my personal note.

I’ve done a really great job of hiding online that my family is going through a very tough time. My Aunt, who has survived cancer many times in her life lost her battle with her final bout of cancer last Friday, the 13th. We knew it was coming, she had been in hospice for about a week but it didn’t make it any easier to deal with. It’d been a year since I was able to see her but even though she couldn’t speak, got to say my goodbyes on the phone. My Dad, the oldest of his siblings, is having a difficult time.

This weekend, because of my Aunt’s wishes we’ll finally be having her funeral on Saturday. For all of you that means I won’t have any new posts for a few more days and I apologize for my lack of posting but hope that the above situation gives me an excuse. :o) I’ll be out of town as of Friday morning to Sunday evening. So, something new will come at you on Monday.

This is my Aunt Diane (the one I lost), my Dad, and my Aunt Dale.

In the meantime, I’d like to share with you two new WordPress plugins that I’ve installed and am really enjoying!

The first is My Top Commentators put out by Daily Blog Tips and written by Max Blog Press. You know this will be quality when these two sites team up to produce something and it’s nothing short of great.

My Top Commentators allows you to view who you top commentators are for the last 7 days, last month, this year, and last year (as well as other day settings). Head on over to Daily Blog Tips and check it out, I’m sure you’ll be happy with this plugin!

The second plugin came to me by way of a great post by Chris Garrett on internal linking structure. It was a great post and a nice follow up to my deep linking post a couple of weeks ago.

At any rate, the plugin Chris mentioned is called Cross Linker. A fabulous resource for those of us who often link internally or those involved in affiliate marketing.

While I have only had this plugin installed for a day, the ease of use and ability to setup a multitude of phrases for easy future linking is great. I cannot wait to see it in action!

Enjoy the plugins, I’ll see you all back here on Monday with something really fabulous that’s hanging out in my post arsenal waiting to be formatted and published. ;o)
