Thanks for the great tutorial. I’ve heard recently that “caching” plugins are becoming very important for WordPress. I just launched a window tinting website and want to make sure my site is as fast as possible. Is there a particular “caching” plugin that I should be using? There are a few options and I can’t seem to figure out how to configure them. I don’t notice a difference in load speed. Thanks.

Use the one click install from the Plugins Panel to add new Plugins.

Follow the instructions provided by the WordPress Plugin author in the WordPress Plugin Directory (links to information in the Plugins Panel for that Plugin) and on the contextual Help areas of WordPress Plugins providing that (upper right corner of that Plugin’s option panel).

Once installed, make sure the Plugin is activated in order to work.

There are thousands of WordPress Plugins and each work differently. I am not familiar with these Plugins. Post Thumbnails are handled by the WordPress Theme, usually, so check with your Theme’s instructions. Category widgets are included in WordPress in the Appearance > Widgets. If you don’t like how they look on your WordPress Theme, either change the Theme or move the Widgets around so they look better, or use the Custom Menus to add categories to your main navigation.

For lists of the most recent posts with an except, there are a variety of Plugins to do that. Personally, I use Customizable Post Listings WordPress Plugin.

Thanks.
