Blogging Toolkit of Whoismadhur
Blogging Toolkit is a set of tools that a blogger uses to create , manage and optimize his website . Basically the tools used by a blogger to run his blog . I have been tagged by Sizlopedia to reveal my Blogging toolkit and so here i go .
Blogging Platform
When i first started blogging a year ago , i created my first blog at blogspot but shifted to WordPress within a week as i found it much better than blogger . I dont think anyone will disagree with me on this one .
Blogging Client
I have used Windows Live Writer in the past but after the launch of WP 2.1 i use the rich text editor of WordPress as it has been enhanced greatly from the previous version.
Statistics Software
I use Google Analytics along with awstats to measure my site stats
Blog Promotion
I have employed a few SEO plugins in my blog which i think are doing there job.
Blog Feeds
Although i learned the concept of feeds a bit late , i am using Feedburner for it and it sure rocks .
Browser
It will raise a few eyebrows but my choice is IE7 . I have been using IE ever since i started surfing so i dont feel like changing it .
Blog Graphics
Though i am not much of a graphics person but i am starting to learn a bit of Adobe Photoshop now as i feel it is essential for every blogger .
So that wraps it up . And now its my turn to tag somebody and i tag Eches , Ashish and John to share there Toolkit with us .












@ Gili , Chris
The plugins i am using are “Add Meta Tags ” and “Head Meta Description” .
Some tips for SEOing the WP site:
* instead of going for the Permalink structure as /2007/04/10/, its better to use /20070410/. This way, we reduced the nesting by 2 levels.
* Sitemap plugin is a must.
* Related Posts – It is another must. Most of the time, we never really crosslink our old posts, and the related posts can save us some trouble.
@Somu
Thanks for the tip .
IE certainly hasn’t got my fancy and probably never will. Guess I am another guy on the FF bandwagon
