Awesome list! Also, I'm going to throw this out there from my latest experience, spend some money or find a free quality coded template.
I think Google is looking more and more at the template files, figuring out which ones are being used for spam farms, and whether your blog is one or not...slapping it.
Hello, please I have a question about niche stores. Does anybody know any wordpress plugin meant for niche stores that could give the visitor, a search panel or a widget to perform a search depending on the product, the price range, the location , or the category? Thank you.
