Turning Wordpress Into Your Own Image by ShadowKris

Wordpress is my chosen blogging platform. Since I’ve begun my blogging journey I’ve come across many great plugins and customizations that other Wordpress users have created.

All our web hosting plans come with easy to install scripts, one of them being Wordpress.

There are plenty of similar plugin and hacks list out there like this one, however, I’ve been asked by a few of our customers which plugins I use and where they can find some more great mods. Therefore, I created the following list.

By the way, the list is ever going and does not end with this post. I’ll continue to add to the list in our community forums. If you have or know of other plugins that you like, please post in the comment section, thanks.

As a web development company, we love hacking up programs like WordPress and phpBB and transforming their generic layout to our own, even if it’s only parts used by us.

I stumbled upon a website called Binary Moon the other day and found a great plugin for WordPress that lets you customize your login page.

Looking to the image on the right you can see what I came up with (click image to see the actual page).

Most people will never see this page since I don’t have many guest bloggers write articles, but that could change one day and it would be nice to send them to a branded login page.

I also like the fact that someone would go to our login page and think, cool!

We try very hard here at eVentureBiz to make sure our website has a cool factor to it. When I see our site I like to think simple and futuristic. I want people to see our site and say, “Yup, that’s who I want to design my next website.”

John sits in his cushioned chair, takes a sip of his steaming coffee, and tells himself “I will try to keep an open mind and see the logic to Justin Ewers of U.S.News latest blog article reprinted in the Yahoo! Real Estate section.”

In case you don’t click over to read the article, Justin’s post suggests to us that renting a house and investing your monthly savings may be a better investment than investing in owning your own home.

This sparked a challenge in my head. Which investment is truly better?

I have broken Justin’s article down to 3 main quotes from his article that I will comment on in regards to this idea.

The Challenge

Ok, so you’re not a trained real estate investor and you want to know if there’s any truth to Justin’s article showing how renting can be a better investment than owning.
