11 Top WordPress Plugins Every Blog Should Have
WordPress in itself is a decent system but it can be made into a rock solid blogging beast. Adding top WordPress plugins can make WordPress into the Swiss Army Knife of blogging: just pull out whatever functionality you need for your specific blog!
Many people have asked me for my list of top WordPress plugins. Of course I've written quite a few WordPress plugins myself, but I'd thought I'd share with you what I use and recommond as the top WordPress plugins for just about any site I build, analyze & optimize.
- W3 Total Cache
I seriously cannot live without this plugin, as it makes the sites I build perform to my expectations, instead of slowly crawling. And yes, I think every site should be cached to get the maximum performance for each and every user, not just when you start hitting social sites.
- Google Analytics for WordPress
While it's my own plugin I seriously recommend everybody use this for tracking their blogs visitors, it does "standard tracking", but it helps as well with analyzing 404 errors, seeing how authors perform, and much much more.
- pageMash
My site uses a lot of pages to get the site structure I want, and sometimes you want to move around some pages. The default WordPress way of doing that is hard (you have to give each page a menu order by hand) but pageMash is excellent for that, with a nice Ajaxy interface in which you can just drag and drop pages. Have a look (click for larger image):
I've been using PageMash for years, in fact it was in my original Top WordPress Plugins post back in October 2008. On some sites though, I've replaced it with CMS Tree Page View, which also has a great interface and was a bit easier to work with on sites with even more pages.
- Redirection
Adding in redirects in WordPress is, well, impossible. Redirection makes it possible and for that sole reason is with me on most of my sites. After having some issues with it at first with 3.0 it seems to be working flawlessly again, and I couldn't imagine running a blog without it yet.
- WP-DBManager
Not only is this plugin perfect for doing automated backups, it can also do things like database optimization and the admin pages for it allow you to do the occasional query from within WordPress!
- VaultPress
I used to rely on all sorts of top WordPress plugins to do my security, now I just rely on VaultPress. It makes backups of your blog, checks your site for weird anomalies and fixes them as you go along happily blogging. If you make money from your site and / or it's worth a lot to you, don't miss this one.
- Clean Notifications
There are a couple of things in WordPress that have annoyed me from the start and one of them are the emails it sends out for comments, pingbacks etc. Clean Notifications, another one of those top WordPress plugins that has been with me for what seems like ages, cleans those up nicely and turns the emails into nice readable emails without clutter.
- Comment e-mail verification
I don't like adding hoops for people to jump through when they're leaving a comment on my site, but I have recently started requiring people to verify their email address once they leave their first comment. It's helped me heaps in controlling spam on my blog, and the comment e-mail verification plugin is the plugin that allows me to do that. Read more on my comment flow here: preventing anonymous comments in WordPress.
- MediaRSS
One of those top WordPress plugins that you never "see" but should always be quietly there, doing it's work, is MediaRSS. It adds MediaRSS tags to your RSS feed, making the first image in the post the thumbnail for services that support it and other things. A simple one without any configuration needs: install, and go!
- Blackbird Pie
So many conversations get started on Twitter these days that you often want to refer back to them in your blogposts. Just linking to a tweet is such a bland method of doing that though, when Blackbird Pie makes it really easy to do it so much smoother. Check out this tweet about my WordPress SEO plugin, for instance:
The WordPress SEO plugin by @yoast is like an SEO bowl of Ben & Jerry's icecream. So good in so many ways. #seo #wordpress
— Luke McDonald (@thelukemcdonald) December 15, 2010
That looks pretty darn cool, don't you think?
- WordPress SEO plugin
Last but not least is my own WordPress SEO plugin. While it's still in beta and will do far more when it's completely done, it's already the best SEO plugin out there, in my own humble opinion of course. I use it literally everywhere.
Note: if you think: there are a LOT of comments on this post, that's true. The original version of this top WordPress plugins post was published in 2008, I just decided to update and re-post, as there are more and more WordPress plugins and a list of top WordPress plugins can really not stay the same all that long!

WOW I'm going to have to look at that iPhone plug-in. That looks very cool.
Using Feedsmith now and personally I like:
Dagon Design Sitemap Generator
RSS Footer
Are you planning to make the SEO plugin free or paid?
What exactly does page mash do? Is it for making menus?
PageMash allows you to reorder pages via drag and drop.
What do you mean "reorder?"
Change their ID numbers?
Reorder, as in move a page to a different location within the list of pages. For example, if you have a "contact" page as a sub-page of "about us", you can drag it to a new location without having to manually open the page, select a new parent page from the dropdown, and save.
Ahh. Ok. I think of page "order" as it's position in the directory structure on a site, like home/level1/level2/level3.
That was my confusion.
The page order you are referring to basically only affects how the WordPress menu system works, I think.
Still helpful though.
No, you had it right – "page order is its position in the directory structure on a site, like home/level1/level2/level3." And PageMash makes it really easy to change its position.
From other comments, I think there's some confusion about the WP navigational menu system v. using PageMash to move a page to a different location.
Moving a page to a different directory will change it's permalink. But where it's displayed depends on how you're displaying menus. The WP menu system is independent because you decide what pages, etc. are used in the actual navigational menus. So I could have a directory of: home/level1/level2/level3 but create a menu that only displays: home/level1/
Ok, I'm all straight, thank you.
Given that, I would never need or use a plugin like that.
What a frikkin mess that could create for the casual uneducated user. Moving pages around, moving them back, doing whatever in the snazzy drag n drop environment.
All the while on the back end, ending up with 301s pointing to 301s and backlinks going to multiple 301 hops.
I know that's an exaggerated example but I assume as soon as you "move" a page, a 301 is written to .htaccess and if you move it again, another is written to that one, etc.
Forget 'datt!
I reco reading the plugin page http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pagemash/ – it doesn't auto create 301s
That's great news for me re the pages I was trying to order them last night and it was giving me a wordpress headache! Thanks for the great info too.
Old post..? Comments dated 2008. WP is nice and EASY…but people should make their own stuff…
I'm making use of most of these plugins, but you managed to introduce a few new ones that I'll have to look into. Thanks!
Great list! I always try to keep the plugins I use to a minimum but the ones you´ve mentioned here are really indispensable. I´ve noticed that I´m using different plugins for the same functions (e.g. wp-db-backup, instant upgrade). I´ll check out your proposals as they seem more flexible.
Great list! I actually was looking for a plugin that does what the pageMash plugin does. Very good find indeed.
I wrote a similar list a while back, but I obviously need to do an updated post. Some of the plugins that have come out recently have really blown me away.
I would add though, things like the XML-Sitemaps, Akismet, and Subscribe to Comments are still pretty valuable.
I'm also happy that WordPress 2.7 will be incorporating many of the popular features that plugins have handled in the recent past. Way to go WordPress!
I don't think so, since i use none of them.
I'm not a fan of that search. I actually prefer mine. Try these:
and the advanced search:
Thanks, Joost. You are truly a WordPress Warrior. Not heard of lighter menus… going to give it a whirl.
I already use most of these plugins or don't need them but I think you're mistaken about WordPress not handling 301 redirects, at least in your example. I have, in the past, changed a page slug after it was linked to from outside and visitors were directed automatically to the correct post.
i will try them and after that we can see the result.
Cool list! Lighter Menus makes wordpress a lot easier to use!
I'm going to try that page mash
cool list thanks
A few questions:
1. Why would you use WP's search with Search Excerpt plugin when you could just use a Google custom search engine?
2. What's the differences between the plugins Redirection and Objection Redirection? http://www.biggnuts.com/objection-redirection-WordPress-plugin
With Kevin. I've implemented Google custom search last month, and it works like a charm. The order of results is way better in terms of importance, and the look and feel – although somewhat different from the blog itself – is immediately recognisable – and thus usable – for visitors.
Hi Yost,
Great post, I'll install Lighter Menus and pageMash ASAP!
I think WordPress do redirect 301 without need of any Redirection plugins.
Thanks alot! I have been having trouble with a different cache plugin on my blog and have been looking for an alternative. I have a few of these already but the others I will most definitely have to get
Feedburner Smith is a MUST have.
Hey very interesting article! I found the security and DBs plugins a must!
Have you actually gotten WPTouch to work with WP Super Cache?
I thought any of the mobile themes (others include WP Wireless and WP PDA) were fundamentally incompatible with the way WP Super Cache worked?
I would love to hear if you managed to get the two working together, because I had to abandon WP PDA because it didn't work with WP Super Cache.
Good list though – it had a few plug-ins that I wasn't aware of.
And the One-Click Plug-in Installer, so that you can easily add everything listed here.
Thanks for this great list. I stupidly changed my permalink structure a while back and have had tones of 404 errors in webmaster tools since. I installed the Redirection plugin and now have started to fix them. I had no idea how to fix this mistake. Thanks for you help.
I just installed the iPhone theme on my site a couple days ago and love it. Even if you're not a Mac fan, catering to this growing portion of the population is super easy with this great plugin.
Very nice list you have got there. I want to add a few.
1. Platinum SEO plugin
2. XML Sitemap generator plugin
I've used Platinum SEO plugin, then upgraded to the All in One SEO plugin which was much better. But IMO, Yoast's new WordPress SEO plugin blows both of them away. I really reco using the WordPress SEO plugin.
Whats about the SMO Plugins link:
1. WordTwitter – Twitterplugin for WordPress
I didn't know it was even possible to do the iPhone-theme thing! Thanx for this list.
Great list Joost, thanks for sharing.
For those who are wondering about using the wptouch plugin and cache. Just install wp-cache (instead of super cache) then add in the wp-cache admin with Rejected UA strings the words iphone and ipod. This way the visitors using a mobile (i)phone will see the un-cached version. Check my blog with a (i)phone to see the effect. I believe super-cache support will be available soon.
Joost – once again, a top post, many thanks.
Hello again Joost,
This post along with the 10 things you need in a wordpress site is enough to get anyone started! Awesome!!
I can't get enough wordpress plugins….I can't keep up with all the latest releases and updates. It's almost overwhelming.
I would also add the all in one seo to the list. I'm looking forward to WP 2.7. I think it's great to see some of the plugins being incorporated into WP as it means full support.
Some I have used, some I have just come across. Good list and thanks for sharing. Going to try them out.
This is an excellent list and I appreciate you sharing. I too give a high five for Redirection as it's extremely easy to implement. I often thought it would be a neat feature to add a "split test" function into it so that it would redirect the traffic to two (or three) different pages. That way you could test which page was more effective.
Anyway great list. Thanks!
Hi Joost,
Thanks for the list. Another good reason to have your feed in my reader.
I haven't dared use the automatic upgrade plugin yet, but I will have to give it a spin on a blog or two. For some reason I have never gotten around to installing a database backup plugin, so I might just try the one you recommend.
Excellent list, indeed. There's so many plugins out there and so little time to go through them using the typical 'trial and error' method. The WPtouch Iphone theme is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for plugins.
Alot of great plugins I cant live without. At least IMO :)
love this site – it is transforming the way my site is – ur the best – as soon as I get money ill donate some to say thanks ;)
Great post. Thanks for allowing me to discover Mobile Press.
Search Everything is a plugin I'd add to this list.
Thanks for featuring my WP-DBManager plugin =D
Thank You! It is about time I start seeing other bloggers promoting Headspace 2. I am sick to death of all the praise for the all-in-one-SEO Pack which is simply regurgitation of years of wordpress religious dogma. Even when the developer announced he wouldn't maintain the plugin any longer there were people telling us how freaking great it was and that it would be the only SEO plugin we would need for all eternity. Now that it has a new and lesser developer it is still getting that sort of unwarranted praise. Thank you for actually researching the plugins you recommend before putting them on a page. It is nice to know I am not the only one.
you should also check out the WebPurify profanity filter plugin. It flters swear words from your users comments.
Man this be the first time I ever heard of Iphone blogging. Thanks for sharing.
great plugins, I especially needed that redirection plugin! Helped a lot.
PS: I really like the theme you got going.
I have never tried mobile press…these days I'm looking for a perfect way to create a blog like .yoast.com and any user opening yoast.com on mobile phone he will be redirected to m.yoast.com
Hi there,
A very interesting list,. I have not yet tried a few of them. I will check them out later. Thanks for sharing.
Eddie Gear
thanks for such a wonderful list. I would want to know what is the maximum number of plugin one should install in his wordpress? and can you help me in finding some more must have plug-ins?
I appreciate this information. Very helpful. I guess I know what I'll spend the afternoon doing!
really nice post. i use about 9-10 plugins that i have to have on every post. you can check them out on this post here about wp plugins.
very interesting, I used it too!
Nice list. However, I don't know how to get WP Autoupgrade to work on a shared host.
i have tried most of them but pagemash and mobilepress were new for me
thanks for sharing
Excellent list! This will come in really useful.
Hey Joost, nice to see the list growing. I would also recommend the wordpress review plugin to make it to the list to create niche affiliate review sites and right now there is a discount code also available at http://www.wordpressreviewplugin.info/
Great list, I already use Feedsmith but definitely going to have a look as the Super Cache and the Mobile Press plugins.
Nice plugins , will use on my blog
Hi Joost,
I have tried using wp-super cache numerous times but can not get it to work. Do you have any 'how to' guides on using it?
Thanks, this is what i'm searching for my blog's plugins!
AllQuickEasyRecipes.com – A complete guide to delicious cooking
Cool List. Thumbs up to you.
nice article…….great info…..definitely subscribing your posts
Thanks for the list. Very helpful!
Thank you very much for this valuable article containing a top list of WordPress Plugins.
What I can personally add here are:
Share This
All in One SEO Pack
Google XML Sitemaps Generator
In fact, there are more unique, powerful and handy plugins mentioned here and on other top blogs, as well. But, I just wanted to point out some of the best I personally use and am really happy with them.
Thanks again!
thx fot this very useful list.
keep up the good work.
pageMash is one of those plugins that I wish I had found a long time ago. I've been using it for a while and can't imagine not having it.
And I've looked at caching plugins in the past. Maybe it's time to look again.
Nice list of plugins! However, I don't recommend MobilePress as it has a funny way of replacing your theme even if you're using a computer!
Great list, didn't know about HeadSpace and installed quickly: works like a charm!
Thanks for the list!
MobilePress is excellent. I have always wanted to increase the readability of my blog on mobiles.
A very useful collection – thank you
Great list – but it's a shame this list was created before my plugin was published!
I've created a mobile plugin for wordpress written in WAPL that allows you to retain your URLs and preserve the look and feel of your site from web to mobile. Unlike other mobile plugins, it allows you to retain your brand identity.
Version 1.3 has just been released and it has features galore! You can style, or turn on or off virtually every aspect on the mobile giving you the ability to really tailor your site on mobile!
If you fancy giving it a go, the URL is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wapple-architect/ – it'd be great to hear what you thought and any feedback you might have!
Very Nice theme, Thank you – Rosario
Nice post. Keep up the good work
very nice post, thanks for sharing :)
pageMash and Lighter Menus looks worth to try.
Thanks for the list mate.
I'd add the Videosurf Video Link Enhancer plugin. It converts links to videos into in-line players so that users stay on your site.
It seems like Lighter Menus is not supported by WP 2.8.4! Thanks for the list
Wicked post. Thanks for telling us about these plugins. Hope to get them insalled on all our wordpress sites now.
also can be named as "must-have" or "most-wanted" plugins! :)
great collection tho, very impressive list.
thumbs up!
Thanks for the Mobile Press tip ;)
Hey thanks for these they are really good, I am already using some of them but I am going to try the headspace2 plugin now :)
Could you give me a suggestion for my search plugin?
I would like to use "another blog result" like source from "blogsearch.google.com" not mine only to appears in my blog result page. What's plugin which available and recognize for this fucntion? Please help me, thanks for your answer…
This post is updated and better than ever! Keep up the great work Yoast!
Great update, most plugins I already integrated but some plugins are new for me or I forgot about them. Thanks man!
The only thing I don't like about Blackbird Pie is how terrible the tweets look in the RSS feed. I always use it in conjunction with RSSless.
Great list! Thank you. Will definitely keep an eye on this one ;)
Nice list of WordPress plugins. I'm curious which plugins are in use on Yoast.com
Thank you for the update! we have a local WordPress meetup group (http://www.meetup.com/Wordpress-Insider) and tonight we are having a meeting about the topic of plugins. This couldn't come in a better time
Great tips but I want to withdraw your attention to your SEO plugin: it made my blog's posts to have all the same name(!!). I've changed the theme and everything was all right again.
In your SEO Guide (the SEO mini-bible for WP) you rely on WP Super Cache…how comes that you say W3 Total Cache is the best?
W3 Total Cache is the best thing for speeding up your site without a doubt! I love it.
Yeah. I agree. I switched from WP Super Cache to W3 Total Cache. haven't looked back since.
UrbanGiraffes Redirection plugin stopped working for me around January 20th. At the WordPress plugin page there are several reports of the plugin not working.
Luckily, the plugin support easy export in .htaccess format.
I tried W3 Total Cache maybe six months ago and my site started acting up. I had to use a proxy to visit the admin section of my own website! After a few maddening days, I figured out that W3 Total Cache was the cause and removed it. I put WP Super Cache back on and have been happy ever since. It's good enough for my needs.
Great list! I have to say, Google Analytics and your SEO Plugin are my favorite of the list. Nice Work as usual!
Hello Sir Yoast. Just a quick question regarding PageMash. Doesnt the Menu editor Option of WordPress 3.x provide this functionality?
Love your seo plugin – moved from AllInOne – it really helpful in getting my staff to understand some of the basics of SEO when they write posts and how it will show up in Google.
Joost instead of using pageMash for the order of your pages, wouldn't wp_nav_menu native to wordpress 3.0 serve the same purpose? You wouldn't have to install/manage a plugin for the order of your pages.
This is what happens when I scroll comments from bottom to top instead of top to bottom — I replied to this below ;)
WP nav allows you to change the order of navigational links. PasgMash allows you to change the order of the pages.
I'm going to look into Blackbird Pie and VaultPress for my site http://www.hiphopstan.com
thanks Joost!
I agree in most of them but the Blackbird Pie was not showing in Google Reader. And when it did, it was awful.
About the pageMash.. if you move a page do you have to create a new 301 redirect to avoid the 404 error page?
If you use PageMash, you should also use the Redirection plugin. Redirection will automatically create 301s when a page is moved or if you change a post/page permalink.
Good to hear the Redirection plugin is working properly with the latest versions of WordPress. It annoyingly broke some of my functionality so had to remove it from a bunch of sites.
Thanks I had a problem with site structure and now I'm going to install page mash as well as W3 total cache and Google analytics for WP
I like the functionality of Redirection, but it's been acting a little "buggy". Sometimes it makes a redirected page the new Home page. Not good.
Woops! Missed the part where the issues had been resolved. I'll check it out, again.
Why arent you just using the WP 3.0 menu system? Why add a page mash plugin that does something thats already there?
I was thinking the same thing. There are some plugins that disable that function, though. WPDirectoryPro, for one.
WP menu only controls the adding/removing/ordering navigational links. Whereas PageMash gives you easy, one page view of all pages and allows you to reorder pages (and move to other page directories) with drag and drop.
Looks like it has been going on two years since PageMash was last updated and there are various reports of it being broken with recent WP updates. It would seem that a cautious approach to its continued use is reasonable.
Great list of plugins. Thanks for putting this together. I always love finding new plugins… especially good ones. There were a few on your list I hadn't heard of before like the Twitter one.
Thanks again, Jeff
I've been using CMS Tree Page View instead of pageMash recently as it has support for custom post types – very handy.
I wonder if it is fine from Google's viewpoint if you update and repost an old article?
Thank you for the list. Good to know I'm already using some of them and I will look into a couple others you have listed.
As far as "redirects" yes frustrating we do not have some way of doing as default in the dashboard. But I did read in a Studiopress newsletter, with the upcoming release of WP3.1; "Internal Link Helper – A one-click solution for searching and linking to other spots on your site." Sounds like this might finally be introduced.
Thanks for the list. Always nice to learn about plugins I may have missed. For an around, make your life easier everyday plugin, I put PageMash at the top of my list – can't imagine not using it.
Clean Notifications looks nice but can't see how the benefit of having nicer looking WP emails outweighs loading WP with another plugin?
What's your take on Blackbird Pie v. Embedly? Embedly can add a Twitter post as well as a huge selection of other media but it doesn't seem to cache the tweet info.
Thanks for sharing this list. I really like your Analytics and SEO plugin which both works like a charm with any (free)template i have tried.
Definitely needs a security type plug in for a 'must have'. WordPress is way to unsecure in its basic installation.
Hey Joost, I know you're at least partially biased towards W3 because of Frederick, but in your experience is there also another reason for choosing that one over WP Super Cache?
Not knocking Fred's plugin at all, I tried W3TC quickly and it looked really impressive but went for WPSC simply due to the fact that automattic suuports it and it's more popular.
Great list, thanks! I have tried to use Redirection in the past, but couldn't seem to get it to work with W3 (which is one of best plugins around). Is there a particular setting or something I need to set? In the end I had to result to tinkering with .htaccess.
I find that Akismet is such a huge timesaver…..love that one. Oh, and my Tweet Meme.
Nice update of the list here.
When will Google Analytics for WordPress plugin have a graph/chart on the Dashboard like Google Analyticator does? That is the missing piece of making this a useful plugin for my clients.
Backup: IMHO plugin backup buddy it's the best ever and it works very well with S3 Amazon too. You can move a website from one server to another and/or backup in a snap.
Very impressive!
Great review, I think these tools are, in fact, essential.
I have a question though, I have used the WordPress SEO plugin, however, there's this other one called All-in-One Pack SEO that seems to be working alright for my blog, too. Is there any substantial difference between those two? Has anyone tried them both?
Great list, and I would add one more: WP-No-Format which lets you prevent WordPress from modifying the HTML written code. Especially with some themes a lot of white space.
Hi Yoast, you are one of the few IMers who really know what they are doing AND really want to help others. Thank you, Ken :^)
Thanks for the list. What do you think is a good alternative for wp-secure plugin?
great post! I will implement som of theese myself, but in my opinion you forgot the most important one, askimet! a good spamblocker is a must for any blog!
This is a useful list, comments r great too to balance out any thing that might trip someone up like a long non updated plugin.
I read there's some issue switching from WP Super Cache to W3 Total Cache. Does anyone have experience switching?
Great list, i use WP-Optimize to clean up my database and to optimize it.
Very interesting list indeed. I'm yet to try these out. I would definitely add Askimet plugin to eliminate spam comments.
Typepad-Anti spam may be Akismet alternative.
But I think, The list should have Akismet/Typepad-Antispam+ Socialize+ WP-minify.
Excellent list. I love all your plugins. mostly the new seo plugin. I used that plugin on my website.
Thanks Yoast.
Your list of plugins will be added to my site this week.
With so much information overload out there you certainly make blogging easy with your knowledge.
Thanks again.
Joost why not try using GASP it is a really great way to stop spam. All users have to do is tick a little box to prove they are human.
I do like the sound of a "Comment e-mail verification" plugin though :-)
Akismet and GASP = No spam for my blog = :-D
We broke the indents!
I'm not interested in that plugin enough to go read up on it.
But in short, if you change a page URL, then you better 301 from the original URL to the new one, or you get the ole 404.
Maybe this plugin just changes the WordPress IDs and heiarchy, as I alluded to in my very first response.
Have a good weekend.
Rob in Atlanta
Hi Joost,
Thanks for the tips. Just wanted to let you know there is a problem with the link for W3. I'm getting the following message.
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
Just installed your WordPress SEO plugin and I'm very pleased with it. Good replacement for the 'All in one SEO pack'. Keep up the good work :)
dnt know why but except ur WordPress Seo plugin, I don't think any other plugin is required..
Your wordpress SEO plugin is probably the best one, EVER! Thanks for the great job on it and providing it to the wordpress community for free. You are a stand up guy!
I too use WordPress SEO and find it awesome.
On another note though, this article is dated 16th of Feb 2011, but has comments on it from 2008…?
So how do you "re-post" an old post like this?
Dear Yoast. I don't really know you. But I love you. Just sayin'
Brilliant, Thanks to you, your website & the plugins.
Thanks for the suggestions! I'm adding several to my blog right now and will suggest this link to others!
Why PageMash?
It is cool but isn't this what custom menus in WordPress 3.0 does?
maybe it's the drag n drop portion. But I will try maybe there's something different from the custom menu.
I like the idea of verifying the email to stop spam, my site gets a lot of spam messages and is getting annoying.
Don't forget TinyMCE Advanced, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymce-advanced/. It's great whether you're blogging or using WordPress as a CMS.
How do you guys handle tags and related posts? I was using simple tags for both but the update killed everything.
Yet Another Related Posts Plugin seems to be a resource hog so I don't know what to use now. The Redirection Plugin I have tried but it seems pretty advanced I had no idea what I was doing with it so I deactivated it.
I use GD Press Tools and have had good luck with that. Just curious if anyone knows of any issues with if is it worth switching out with WP DB-Manager?
WordPress SEO is terrific!!
Thanks for any help!
Is there a way to diable the preview snippet in WordPress SEO?
I was hoping you'd list your own SEO plugin, because it should be on everyone's essential WordPress Plugins list. I used Platinum Seo Pack, but have now switched to WordPress SEO; it's top notch and far ahead of the competition. Thank you!
I have most of these running on my blog I'm pleased to say, top recommendations thanks.
I still loyal and love to use the last plugin on your list. But I have some problem. I don't know where to add my keyword in homepage. Anybody can help me?
Hi Syakila,
Just go to the drop down menu for WordPress SEO and select Titles and right above the first settings for your post title and description you will see a link which takes you to your Home Page and you can fill your details in right there.
Less complicated expanation, edit your Home Page and fill in the SEO details right there.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the feature of my WP-DBManager =)
Excellent plugin list, i use a few and a few not mentioned here, though W3 Total Cache is a great plugin, it's not for the beginner (or intermediate) user and i find it sometimes crushes my VPS hosting causing httpd process to shut down
I like your choice of plugins, really cool and to the point.
I have a set of 10 that I use all the time here,
Hope you find them useful.
My favorite is login logo by Mark. ;)
I see that you have referenced Pagemash as a recommended plugin for organising menu structure within WordPress.
Now that There are WP Menus built into the core of WordPress, does that not make Pagemash somewhat redundant?
I used WP-DBManager until one day I actually needed to restore from backup. It was at that crucial moment I discovered that WP-DBManager doesn't actually backup at all. It has a problem within the plugin so the backups don't occur. I have removed the plugin from all my sites and I am now using WordPress Database Backup (http://austinmatzko.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-db-backup/) with no problems whatsoever.
I just noticed that I lost all my tags on a few of my sites is anyone else having this problem?
I know simple tags has become useless but me theme did not pickup the task. I found a great related post plugin: Efficient Related Posts but the tag issue is a mystery because I have the exact same theme and setup for some sites and some lost them while others did not.
As far as backup I still like GD Press Tools it has some good functionality.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,I installed same plugins suggested in this post. when I started my Blog.
Thanx dude for this wonderful information
Thanks Yoast for the compilation of the useful plugins. I am using most of the plugins you shared.
I was searching for a plugin with similar functionality as that offered by Clean Notifications. Thanks to you, my search ends here. :)
Nice list. How about a Post Management kind of like pagemash. Where I could arrange 10 posts in one category to display in a specific order and not date order. Something like AStickyPostOrderER. Unfortunately AStickyPostOrderER doesn't work with some themes. Thanks.
Thanks Joost for this AWESOME WordPress SEO plugin! All the best!
Thanks for the list! Very useful and helpful :)
Nice Post I will install all of them in my Blogs!
I almost use all these plugins besides W3 Total Cache because it gives me 10 sec page load time while super cache give 1 sec. Is the problem in plugin or in my site?
Great list..
the W3 Total Cache is awesome with CDN :)
Great post. Finally a complete list of good and useful plugins that I was looking for.
Thank you!
awesome post mate… :) great plugins. thanks for sharing with us.
Great compilation, thanks!
I personally didn't get on well with the W3 Cache plugin. I found that it made a lot of the script in my plugins start acting funny. Maybe it's been improved so I will certainly check it out again.
The SEO plugin also look very interesting. I'll check that out too.
google anayltics plugin is awesome thank you waiting for seo plugin
I use XML map generator but it's doesn't work and I don't understand why …
I'm already using WordPress SEO plugin and i reccomend it to everyone, definetly the best seofor a lazy WordPress blogger. But VaultPress is new to me and now going to my site, thanks.
hi, how do I remove the yoast SEO plugin? It looks like more than I could use, yet, there's no activate/deactivate option
Where did it install?
Hi just re-doing from scratch my site http://seoglobalnews.com, this time on WP. And eventhough I used some of the plugins you list here plus like 15 more… I will definitively look into the ones I am not using. BTW I use like 4 of your plugins in my other sites.
Hi Joost as i told you before, i am setting up my site http://seoglobalnews again from scratch. I am installing the plugins you recommend to give them a try, but with the WP DB Manager I get this message. I already moved the file but it keeps on showing. Any clue would be appreciated.
Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public
To correct this issue, move the .htaccess file from wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager to /home2/leadsand/public_html/seoglobalnews/wp-content/backup-db
Hey Ricky,
I had the same problem. If you are moving it through cpanel's file manager for some reason it might convert the .htaccess to a htaccess.txt file, which won't work. You have to move the file through FTP. Hope this helps.
Thanks for such a nice post and great tools for bloggers.
not see any antivirus and antispam plugin in your compilation
can recomend ?

Aussie Market Opens - Signals Market's Initial Disappointment
UPDATE: Sure enough - *COLE SAYS MAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS TO VOTE FOR SENATE BILL
...and the market is rallying...
Following Monday's fiscal-cliff-gasm in markets in the US, the Australian stock market is the first indication of the post-cliff on-again-off-again reaction to the reality that is a stymied House and stubborn Senate. Some are noting the fact that it is 'up' as a signal of confidence - however, given its 'catch-up' nature, it is actually signalling considerably less confidence than US stocks showed at their close. Why is this important? Because all that matters is the market...
"Everyone knows once the markets open tomorrow our courage drops in direct proportion to the market fall," said one Republican lawmaker
ASX 200 indicates lagging confidence in the markets...

free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity larry kudlow
We spent the whole year on here yelling that both parties were in fact one party, and we expect them to act as two different parties now? The only thing that surprises me is how easily this is all going through. No need for some tanks on the streets talk.
We are supposed to think the debt ceiling will be any different? They will continue to punt, and there is a lot of field left. As long as we are in a comfortable Zirp/Nirp world, punting is the plan.
I still haven't seen any mention of the self-employment tax or the payroll tax. They keep talking about rich people and how they should pay more. But that is just a diversion. The payroll tax is a separate tax (about 6%) that is paid by everybody who has a job, and an additional matching 6% is paid by every worker's employer. Self-employed people get hit with both sides of that (about 12%). This tax includes every worker and every employer, no matter how rich or poor anybody is. This is what the government wanted all along.
I edited to correct a misspelling of "employer."
Anyway, this tax was cut 2% by George W. Bush, and the tax is scheduled to go back up again unless the current congress keeps the Bush cut. This is way bigger than any revenue to be gained by taxing the rich. No mention of this.
thank god! least it bring out the grammer-spelling police............
You did not capitalize the "t" in "thank" nor the "l" in "least", as you should have.
Oh, and you misspelled "grammar".
And a proper ellipsis consists of only three dots.
Carry on.
He also misspelled "lest" (or just used the wrong word altogether).
The thing that kills me Fonz is that people will still believe there is a difference between the two parties even after this debacle.
I have no idea how they could think that. I truly don't. Not now. I would love to see Rand Paul and some others officially change parties to independants and call this thing the total sham that it is. Maybe they could gain some support. But we are too far down the road probably.
"As long as we are in a comfortable Zirp/Nirp world, punting is the plan"
As long as the cancer in the punter's leg doesn't metastasize, I guess it's all good?
The only question is, when does "it's all good" turn into "holy shit what just happened".
2013 the spx is going to hit 2000. Bernanke and Obama aka Batman and Robin are going to save the world by spending our way to prosperity and incurring trillions in debt, then for a small fee GS is going to package all the debts of the world into a cdo the size of the freedom tower. Once this is complete, Superman is going to take the CDO and hurl it toward the sun and just like the that all the world's problems will be resolved for the next 100 years. Back at the Hall Of Justice (the FED) all the 401k's and pension accounts will be fully funded. The End
The Justice League
Whew!.. I forgot for a moment there that we had God and the Justice League on our side.
They are all straight, aren't they?

correct except for the final attribution....it should be The League of Shadows.........
Right. America's fall is a process, not an event. This "fiscal cliff" and "debt ceiling" are just the beginning of the long chain of events that lead to its ultimate collapse... hang on to your hats, folks.
"Sledgehammer" hits Australian economy:
"On Thursday, Treasurer Wayne Swan was forced to dump plans for a surplus and realign fiscal policy towards "jobs and growth" as collapsing tax revenues failed to hit budget targets.
Cash receipts to the end of October are now 3.9 billion behind budget estimates. With a fragile economy, common-sense has finally prevailed and the Government has decided not to keep cutting expenditure to match falling revenues in a race to the bottom as the Australian economy continues to deteriorate.
Swan indicates there has been a substantial broad based hit to company profits across multiple sectors of our economy."
Oh yes, there's also that little matter of house prices:
Australian property bubble
"The Australian Property bubble is speculation that real estate prices in Australia are (currently) valued at more than they are worth. Some people may argue that this is a real estate bubble.
A real estate bubble or property bubble (or housing bubble for residential markets) is a type of economic bubble that occurs periodically in local or global real estate markets. It is characterised by rapid increases in valuations of real property such as housing until they reach unsustainable levels and then decline."
House prices sink for a second year in Australia:
If you were Australian, you'd be wondering how this is possible, because we've always been told that house prices double every seven years.
Aussie house prices are still massively, ludicrously, prepostorously overvalued. Teetering on the brink, with the shills going all out trying to fool the young/dumb/FOC to enter.
Some figures I've seen suggest the median dwelling price in the country is almost $500,000, and the average gross yearly income is $57,000. I know when my parents bought their house, it was $64,000, and they were earning $25,000 gross per year. The house price/income ratio has just ballooned out in a ridiculous fashion, but no one notices.
Yup that's pretty much it. Plus the net rental yield has fallen almost to zero, i.e. the only reason 'investors' (actually speculators) buy is for the expectation of capital gain, with the gov policies fuelling this with policies that increased the importance of CG over yield.
A very illuminating chart is plotting total mortgage debt over the last 25 years on the same chart as house prices. Both have gone up several times (of course debt quicker than prices as banksters must get their cut)
Basically, people were promised that would get 10% CG each year if they borrowed and bought houses, even though incomes only rise 1% a year. TPTB then instituted laws that ensured this for long enough that TPTB could benefit. But it takes but a moment to realize this is a chain letter.
The Ponzi Scheme will continue to roll on.
The markets got exactly what they wanted.
Wall Street and London rule the world.
Business as usual.
Move along. Nothing to see.
Im guessing this should spike gold, but in Alice in Wonderland markets, it will drop on a deal.
The Fed's raising taxes and cutting spending is bad for growth. Even if we only get half of that...which is all that was voted on...that's bearish for growth. In fact about the only thing that is bullish for the economy is the cycle itself. Interest rates "at or near zero" is clearly priced in. So is any "Inflation Trading" that has been RAMPant three years running now. "Now it's the Banksters turn to smile." Consumers of debt are legion in this environment...but who is buying any one "thing"? I'm still sticking with my core belief that liquidation everywhere and always represents the most effective solution to a debt crisis. the debt must be EXTINGUISHED in order to "recreated"...not "leavened." Now only the asset rich can grow the economy...and they don't borrow money to begin with. "Fiscal Agreement here we come!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_5kv8QeBBc
Because it's new year's day, except in Australia, where it's already tomorrow?
It must really suck to live in Australia, where it is never today, and the sky is always below you, and Christmas comes in July. Not to mention how they don't even have a clue on how to speak proper English. It's all just wrong.
And how have they not fallen off the planet already? What the hell?
It's those special velcro slippers they wear.
My theory is that all that blood rushing to their upside-down brains is why they speak so strangely. The bizarre desire to put slices of beets (BEETS!) on hamburgers is an associated and unfortunate side effect.
I once had the opportunity to flush a toilet exactly on the equator.
The results? After taking a good while to get the pattern established, it swirled clockwise around half of the time, and counterclockwise the other times. I was hoping to see it all just go straight down in one seemless sucking action (like our current economy). Color me disappointed.
Haha... proper English. Americans are rather defensive of the tongue of the motherland :P
At least we Americans don't maniacally torture our vowels.
Phonemic waterboarding ought to be a crime.
Well, Northerners might not, but I've had trouble understanding the drawl that comes out of a southerners mouth from time to time when I've travelled through the southern states.
OK, agreed, you got us there!
I worked with a Texan once, nicest guy in the world, but we practically needed a translator between us to communicate. For example, it once took me several minutes to grasp that what I thought were his references to "poplin" were actually to "PIPELINE"!
Is there a difference between you'ze and ya'll?
Never mind...the games on.
Regarding correct language use, there isn't. Plus, they're used by culturally similar kinds of people.
I've been informed that "y'all" is actually a singular form and "all'z'y'all'z" the equivalent plural.
"Phonemic waterboarding ought to be a crime."
No kiddin...lol.
Proper english gave us some real crazy shit like write, right? And a knight riding his horse in the night.
Makes for real problems for a red to understand what was actually read ;-)
Agree, written English is an utter abomination. I say throw out the whole rotten written language and start over from scratch. I've always pitied the poor SOBs who have to learn all the insanity of written English as a second language!
Your mother, over there, said they're playing with their gifts, of which you're the provider.
Two sounds, five different words. Not difficult at all!
Look, when you steal your entire language from four other ones, things are bound to get messy.
"At least we Americans don't maniacally torture our vowels."
hahahaha what are you smoking?
Ask any linguist (cunning or otherwise), and they will be forced to objectively tell you that standard (northern) American English speakers have the cleanest, simplest, purest vowels to be heard anywhere in the English-speaking world. What you Brits and Aussies do with the "o" in the word "body", for example, STILL leaves me scratching my head, and slappping my knees. And need I even go into the whole "Chinar and Indiar are ..." thing?
You sound obsessive. Did some Aussie girl knock you back? Maybe you f*cked up the date giving her paradoxical American style English lessons. Who knows.
Anyway to the rest of you loons, watch the markets. Plus there is nothing worst than manic depressive, (armchair) grammatical theorists correcting people on public forums.
Thank you.
You sound angry. Did some American laugh in your face after listening to your hysterically mangled and slang-sprinkled Aussie lingo? Maybe your atrociously tortured aussie vowels were given a proper dressing-down from a linguist somewhere? Who knows.
Do you mean he possibly forgot to clock her in the face per normal Aussie mating rites?
Give it a rest cobber, stone the crows it's the bloody fies that make us speak with our mouths closed. We would speak the Old bags language right proper but the flies get that thirsty they fly straight into gob for a quick wet up.
So dont come the raw prawn with me, ya got to think about such things or you may be accused of being a few sheep short in the top paddock mate
4 am
Tokyo will be open soon enough.
Looking at the AUS market is about as useful as examining the Canuck one. We're extentions, not the primary. California could buy and sell both of us four times and not break a sweat. That's a single state full of tech startups and energy.
California, the state? No it couldn't - it's broke.
Somethins up with them there futures.
James Burke - The Day the Universe Changed - Credit Where it's due.
Market poised to move higher into next change in trend time window.
Was watching Cole live on Bloomberg also.
He said, potential 'market reaction' to not passing it was the highest consideration because of 401k and IRA holders.
Need I say more?
I don't know what 401 and IRA means but I imagine they are pensions? Are they not the ones who will be plundered the most to make up the shortfall?
and if so what difference does a day drop in the market do to them if the funds available are many decades in the future????
Seems to me it isn't a matter for the people holding of these things but sailing too close to the margin for the US gobshite that is the problem
The House amendment bill won't pass, then the Senate bill will.
Spending cuts will never occur. FY13 will be 1/2 over at the end of March, so they will negotiate to not implement any cuts until FY14, starting on Oct 1. By then something else will happen to prevent the cuts or they will be overwhelmed by increased spending in other areas.
The tea party Republicans don't appear to have sufficient power to force any real cuts or reduce the debt.
Game over.
This is all so fake now, if you wrote a book about it, it would be shunned for being too ridiculous
In a way, this is good because it brings the collapse quicker. Have to collapse to reset.
I think gold traders have this wrong. Any deal will involve a lot of printing. Yet gold is down?
I suspect they are leaving gold to go "risk on" with AAPL and FB
"bidless market." no bids for gold either. to the extent to which the Bailout Regime can be maintained (decades if not a century i would argue) then the risk is on those who demand credit...almost entirely...while the credit creator simply "plays golf." Basically "if you have a problem call your Congressman." That would be the guy currently GUTTING the Federal Government btw. Normally economizing in that sector is equated with "ceasing to exist." What did they say when Sandy hit? "Where are all the Government people?" It would appear insofar as Government Policy is concerned "there are to be a lot less of them soon" as well. That would be "the people who help" not the hurricane thingy's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_boomer
Tyler, all due respect but stop with the "sure enough" lark please. You(s) (and Goldman) have been suggesting the market would have to tank to get anything at all passed.. your (Goldman) 1250 SPX year end prediction wasn't so "sure enough" was it.
You posted lofty articles claiming it was disturbing no one else could see that this was the case.
"sure enough" this was a big fail.
See my point?
Keep up the good work and perhaps the market may tank after all is passed as it figures out the slight debt problem, that will only increase at a greater rate due to not going over cliff.
My condolences on your shorts.
If they lose courage if the market dips, how will they feel if they vote for this stupidity and the market tanks 10%?
Late 2008 oil collapsed to $32, AUD collapsed from ~95c down to ~70c, commodities collapsed hard while price contracts were discounted which all strongly contributed to a rapid bounce in Asia.
2013 - Europe's in recession, other major economy's teetering, but oil hasn't tanked, AUD is ~8 cents higher than pre-Lehman, industrial commodities also remain higher than pre-Lehman.
No bounce coming there, so stimulus spending will run out in Asia and things will grind lower.
Guess we'll just have to wait for Europe to spring back to 4% growth ... which should be any year now ...

Awhile back my University flatmate and myself headed down to Barry Island a small beach town 30 minutes away from Cardiff. It was absolutely stunning and a nice little getaway as it only took half an hour on the train! We walked along the shore line before heading up the little hill with the houses you see in the photo bellow. It was a beautiful and relaxing little walk with breathtaking views that I didn't even excited so close to Cardiff.
What a view!! We also found a bundle of red roses on top of the hill and being the weirdos we are made up the backstory about the roses. A young couple in their middle twenties came here on a date and the guy had brought red roses with him because he wanted to say "I love you" to the woman for the first time. As they reached the top and he finally said it the woman got really freaked out and decided that he wasn't The One and then they broke up. Yeah, we always make up stories like that! It's all good fun tho haha. I'm in Malaysia at the moment for easter break, but I'll make a post about that very soon!

Youse. Yous. The former preferred by Hedgehog, whereas I like the latter.Read more »
Air dodgeball -- and whiffing with KPOP
CHEAP EATS Another new restaurant has sprung up at the corner of Castro and 18th St. across from Walgreens. Korean, this time.
There are several problems inherent with writing a pirate sports column embedded within a "food" column in any free weekly paper, even when the "food" column isn't written by your domesticated partner. Which mine is. And don't think I haven't suspected that's how I landed the gig in the first place.Read more »
CHEAP EATS Oh the horror!
Oh the hilarity!
Oh the black bean and chicken chili, spaghetti and meatballs!
No, it wouldn't look good, journalismically, for me to review Hedgehog's second li'l movie myself, being after all her ever-loving domestie. Not to mention my three (3) credits, for catering, co-production, and co-score. So, for once I have decided to do the right thing: ask my dad to review it for me.Read more »
Never give up, or order the lunch special
CHEAP EATS And then one day my left foot stuck to the planet and my left knee, under the influence of the opposing team's cornerback, bent backwards. First, two of my teammates tried to help me off the field, and both of them are med students but one is much shorter than me and the other much taller, so the refs tapped us all on the shoulder and said "here. Let us."
They made a kind of a chairlift out of their arms and carted me away. "The fireman's carry," they called this, but I knew that it was not.Read more »
Hopefully, this week your craving is for Moby Dick and sports stories
CHEAP EATS Crawdad called me on speakerphone, like she does: in the car, with the childerns. "Will you tell us the story of Moby Dick?" she said.
"Moby Dick," I said, about as meaningfully as one can say, into an Android, Moby Dick. As it happens, I had just hung up with my dad, who (as it further happens) is an actual, dyed-in-the-whale Melville scholar. Me, no. Not so much. I've read it, of course, but . . .
"Dang, is traffic that bad over there?" I asked.
"No. We're going to get ice cream," she said. As if that explained everything.Read more »

|The Spring 2008 Airplane Market
|How's it doing?
|By Barron Thomas
|Airplanes are selling, financing is at all-time attractive rates and terms, the new tax write-offs for general aviation (GA) are the best tax incentives in its history, and prices have settled down from the peak of the real-estate boom. All in all, it's a pretty good time to buy, and savvy pilots are taking advantage of this perfect storm of events.
Most GA airplanes that are 1978-vintage and newer, and above $25,000 in value, can be financed for 20 years at fixed rates hovering around 7% (if you've got reasonably decent credit). Decent credit is normally defined as a credit score of 670 or better, in addition to a good income, which means you can prove that you're able to feed your family, make house payments and still cover the airplane payment. Mathematically, lenders generally want to see a debt-to-income ratio of 45:100 (in plain English, your total monthly obligations, including airplane, don't exceed 45% of your gross income).
Cessna Finance, Air Fleet Capital, U.S. Aircraft Finance and Dorr Aviation are all eager to help you get the airplane of your dreams. They're easy to work with and generally respond within 24 hours if you have your financials ready (your last two years' tax returns and a completed credit application). Each lender has slightly different requirements for loan amounts and terms, and some are more creative than others when it comes to self-employed people who don't show a lot of "taxable" income but can otherwise prove their assets/net worth and have a good credit rating. Airplane finance rates have never been this attractive, and today's low rates will more than offset the higher fuel costs.
Teri McGreevy of Cessna Finance (www.cfcloan.com) says, "Cessna normally wants to see deals of $100,000 and above, and will quote rate and terms on an individual, case-by-case basis." Cessna's regional reps are eager to assist prospective purchasers of all aircraft types. Bob Howe of Dorr Aviation (www.dorraviation.com) is quoting an average of 6.75% fixed for 20 years on loans of $50,000 and above. Dorr, like many lenders, has a $25,000 minimum loan amount. Howe adds, "Dorr is very close to rolling out a 'no doc' plane loan program for borrowers with strong credit. Our lenders are looking for something more secure and safe than real estate right now, and they realize that GA is a stable market."
Air Fleet Capital (www.airfleetcapital.com) and U.S. Aircraft Finance (www.usaircraftfinance.com) offer competitive programs designed to get you quickly and easily into airplane ownership. The math works, so take advantage of these programs while they're being offered.
Insurance is still affordable and easy to obtain. Chuck Wenk and his two children run what may be the country's largest and oldest aircraft insurance agency, Wenk Insurance (www.wenkinsurance.com). Wenk can provide aircraft insurance in every contiguous American state (at one time or another Wenk has even insured Jimmy Buffet and Oprah Winfrey). He confirms, "There's been no lull in the market for insurance, and demand is still on par with the last several years. Although the economy has changed in reaction to real estate in some parts of the country, people are, by and large, keeping their planes, and rates haven't really changed."
The newly signed Economic Stimulus Act includes a wonderful gift for GA. Everyone wants a plane, but sometimes an extra justification or nudge is needed. The liberal depreciation rules for 2008 are just the answer. GA tax credits have never been this good, but don't delay, they're expected to expire at the end of 2008. As always, consult your CPA for the details of how this will apply to your situation.
Pricewise, it's natural that nothing today is bringing what it did at the peak of the real-estate bubble (2005–2007). Historically, airplanes have proven to be a safe haven of value over the years, but they, like most assets, can ebb and flow with economic times. Boom times generally tighten the supply of airplanes and raise prices; economic slowdowns do the reverse. One of the true economic utilities of GA is that, unlike a house, an airplane can be moved to an area of the country that's doing well. Proof that GA airplanes are a sound investment is the fact that financiers are offering 20-year terms on even airplanes built in the late 1970s. The recently soft U.S. dollar has a brought a wave of buying activity from around the world. GA airplanes are now being exported in numbers not seen since the mid-1980s.
The good news for buyers is that there are a few more airplanes for sale than two years ago; so the selection is better and prices are more attractive. This may be the right time to buy. Bargain financing rates and generous gifts from Uncle Sam always make airplanes sell; a buyer who procrastinates or expects a "pie-in-the-sky" bargain may find that good deals and airplanes will soon be picked over.
Flying is wonderful all by itself, and getting Uncle Sam's "help" during the purchase process makes an airplane that much sweeter.
It seems that changes in the economy haven't impacted GA. Grab your calculator, do the math and buy an airplane!

A festival at The Waterfront in Pewsey raised spirits and funds as music lovers donated more than £600 to Wiltshire Air Ambulance.
Revellers listened to live music from No Fixed Abode and The Vooz at the Rhythm and Booze Beer Festival along Pewsey Wharf last month.
They also enjoyed a selection of tipples with 15 real ales and three ciders available at the outside bar as well as an all-day barbecue.
Last Wednesday landlord Nigel Wallace, his partner Nicky Rouse and business partner and chef Carl Games handed over the cheque for £627 to Air Ambulance volunteer Tracey Pullen.
The cash was raised through ticket sales and a raffle, which included a host of prizes such as a meal for two at the Wharf, a strimmer and two tickets to Pewsey Music Festival.
Mr Wallace said: "Wiltshire Air Ambulance is vital in this area. We never know when we might need it and, conscious that the service is entirely reliant on donations, our customers decided to do their bit and really threw themselves into making this a worthwhile fundraiser."
