Now this is a pretty neat plugin:

Wordbook allows you to send your wordpress blog posts directly to your Facebook mini feed without any cut and paste nastyness - fantatsic if you tend to used wordpress as a blog and Facebook for networking rather than the other way round

You can get the plugin here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordbook/

Well, even if I don't make it into space in my lifetime, I can rest assured "knowing" that my blog will.

When I came across this by accident I just had to sign up for it, and whether it's real or not I don't really care, the concept's a great bit of fun: www.bloginspace.com

Who knows, if ET reads some instructions on how to install red5 maybe he'll broadcast something back!!!

Everybody out there at the moment is trying to make money from their blog in one way or another, and one great way I found recently was via matched.co.uk, who will pay you up to £75 per month just for putting their ads on your sites.

This is great, but the way they do it is by allocating you one ad per page, up to 5 pages per site which can be a problem for wordpress users:

1. Because the wordpress editor interferes with the ad code if it's pasted into a post
2. Because if you were to dump all the ads in to your sidebar so they appear on all pages they'd look a mess

To get around this, I have written a neat little ad rotator plugin / sidebar widget for matched ads which will display each ad correctly in the sidebar of each page you have an ad allocated to.

You can see this in action by visiting the following links:
