    • Alex Portela
       
      This site shows how to add Excerpts without the use of plugins, simple code changing does the trick. Here the author provides the codes to make that happen. It's a nice little addition to write a short description about the post.
  • The beauty about this code is that it takes care of both scenarios: the manually added and the automatically generated excerpts; which means that you can have both manual excerpts and auto-generated excerpts for your posts with no issues.

      This site helps tidy up and customize your wordpress to look unique but I have to say after reading information from http://interconnectit.com/679/a-common-sense-wordpress-security-primer/ , I prefer not to use 3rd party plugins. A lot of this is coded customization like how Myspace.com first use to be.

      This is a useful site which tells me about the security of this site. This is the reason why I use fake name for many of these programs and release very little personal information. Several of the other sites talk about upgrades of this program with plugins. This site advises against it and how to set up stronger passwords and not to link personal MySQL server to connect remotely if working on a project with another computer. So updated security is essential and avoiding 3rd party plugins can be important.
