Plugins, Plugins, Plugins! (in my best Steve Ballmer impression) I have tons of both new and updated plugins to share with ya’ll today in our roundup. I hope you all got your WordPress related gifts from your valentines yesterday. If not, I hope yesterday and today’s plugins will cheer you up. Here they are:
Free Theme Friday
It’s Friday again! This week I bring you Reddle, a great free theme that was added to the WordPress.org theme directory by non other than Automattic. Reddle is a responsive minimalistic content first theme much like the Twenty Eleven and Twenty twelve theme Reddle has a top banner that you can choose to use or not use.
