How to improve your own wordpress website with many tips:
- Add printer plugins – this way it will print perfect post this way rather than print whole crappy with themes in it on your printout.
- Updated profile/picture – yes picture of yourself!!
- Add links on footer; i.e. www.crazytech.com or one of your favorite link.
- Add MyBlogLog – you can sign up at www.mybloglog.com
