		<description>first of My apologies, the english language isn&#039;t my mother language. While looking at the web page I have seen some kind of weird letters all around the site . It shows now this together with many other words shortly after it, such as Attention: Cannot change header tag ... etc. This is quite likely my browser though, only because I still previously had virtually no free time to update and i&#039;m even now employing Opera 9.5 but my personal web property &lt;a href=&quot;http://cheapflightstosanjuan.info/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;cheap flights to san juan &lt;/a&gt; and likewise important ones as by way of example bing and yahoo cause me no issues, thus its a little bit abnormal.</description>

		<description>I can answer one of my own questions.  To date Parature is only using the Sociable Wordpress plugin.  Another WordPress plugin that I suggest is bm-custom-login.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bm-custom-login/

You can use it to customize your WordPress login screen.  The default login has the WordPress logo.

http://blog.parature.com/wp-admin

bm-custom-login will allow you to put Parature&#039;s logo on the login screen.  Here&#039;s an example.

http://yourteamsticker.com/index/wp-admin

Some other WordPress plugins I use on a regular basis are:

*buddypress &lt;&lt;&lt;Seriously slick way to create your own facebook like social network.  So easy my daughter can do it :)
*wp-sticky
*tantan-flickr
*my-page-order
*my-link-order
*cforms
*wp-e-commerce  &lt;&lt;Seriously easy way to get an online store up and running in minutes and except payment via PayPal, Google checkout, ect.  Not sure what you are using to accept CC payments for Parafest but this plugin is worth a look. 
*events-calendar

I&#039;m also a huge fan of WordPress mu and Artisteer.  

If you anyone has ANY questions regarding WordPress or Joomla feel free to ask.  (How&#039;s that for shameless self promotion :)

Wordpress is an awesome and easy Content Management System (CMS).  Kudo&#039;s to Parature for utilizing it for their blog!

		<description>Hi Perry,

Thanks for your questions. Here are the answers we have so far:

1. Which WordPress plugins do you plan on implementing during phase one of your blog? 

Besides the ones we are using right now (All in One SEO Pack, Google Analytics for WordPress, WordPress URL Rewrite Plugin for blogs running on IIS by Binary Fortress Software, WP Mail SMTP, Subscribe to Comments by Mark Jaquith, Sociable - Social Bookmarking for WordPress, WordPress.com Stats, and Akismet), we are planning to add a Twitter plugin that allows us to update our Twitter page with our blog topics. We are still checking other recognized blogs to see what other plugins make sense for us but we don’t want to install too many that will only make our blog slower. 

2. Will this blog have a plugin to update the Parature Forums?  Much like the WordPress plugins for FaceBook and Twitter? 

Since this blog is open to anyone, not only our customers, we will not use a plugin to synchronize with Parature Forum. 

3. Will this blog and the FaceBook Parature group interact?

To tell you the truth, we just thought about showing our blog updates on our Facebook page through the “Notes” application, but we are not sure how to make these 2 websites more interactive than that. If you know of a good example, we’d appreciate the information. We are new to social media and are learning every day. Any recommendations or suggestions for using social networks are always welcome.

Our idea is to cover the main social media websites, so our audience can choose the sites they feel more comfortable with and communicate with us through them. We want to keep all channels (Facebook, Twitter, Blog, LinkedIn-coming soon) synchronized, so wherever it is possible, we’ll use plugins to keep the different websites updated with our Blog topics.</description>
