Getting Viewers: Plugins and Tricks To Harness WordPress on your Site (Article)
Editor's Note: When Matt over at the OnBlast Blog contacted me about this infographic he created, I was pretty impressed with the work he'd put in and agreed with a lot of his picks and points. (He even had some ideas that I wasn't familiar with, despite running two magazines using wordpress as our CMS.) Since we as filmmakers want our websites to just work, knowing which plugins are a good idea to start with can be a great step forward in making a site that helps you promote your work, without getting bogged down in all the nitpickiness of WordPress!

(Just remember that, because it's a graphic, you can't actually copy and paste the expert hack codes into your blog, but will need to retype them. Hopefully, he'll make an easy link to download this off the graphic in the future!)-JTH
