Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971.  Words cannot properly express what these amazing people have done.  The best way is to view the timeline of catastrophic events that have occured since 1971.  Check it out on their site…and if you can spare a few bucks, why not donate?

Did you know the amount of technical information is doubling every 2 years!

Some of my favorite WordPress plug-ins...while there is a huge selection to choose from I thought I would mention a few.   For now these seem to fit my needs and are easy to add and use.

• Out-of-the-box SEO for your WordPress blogs- Yes I love this plug-in…all you have to do is add your title, tags and a description and then watch your SEO soar-By Michael Torbert.

• Retrieves your DandyID online identities and displays them as clickable links in your sidebar- OK, if you are anything like me and enjoy social networking there is a good chance you have profiles all over the net.  And while we all tend to gravitate to our favorite networks where we are the most active.  This little plug-in is by far one of my favorites.  It’s a reminder to check all of your social networks.  For others its a great way to see where you are and possibly connect!- By Neil Simon, Sara Czyzewicz, Arron Kallenberg, Dan Perron, Anthony Dimitre.

• Tweets your published posts- I admit I love some automation and in truth no one can be everything to everyone-If I didn’t have this plug in I would have to visit twitter every time I post and sometimes I can’t!-By Carlos Pena.

• Automatically translates a blog in 41 different languages by wrapping four different online translation engines (Google Translation Engine, Babelfish Translation Engine, FreeTranslations.com, Promt).  I think about the fact the web is global and not everyone understands and reads english- By Davide Pozza.

• IntenseDebate Comments enhance and encourage conversation on your blog or website. Full comment and account data sync between IntenseDebate and WordPress ensures that you will always have your comments.    I like the fact you can reply within each comment-By IntenseDebate & Automattic.

These are a few of the wordpress plug-ins that I use and one thing I have to say to all the briliant minds who created this stuff!  Is thank you and its amazing to me…it’s FREE!  And as each one would probably tell me…feel free to donate!
