Online Leaf is a project started to help the Internet become greener, and through this plugin, it has been made easy for WordPress users to get a Green Website as well.

Online Leaf aims to reduce the overall CO2 emissions from displaying websites, without any loss of visitor experience. You can still use visual effects, animations and heavy graphics to improve your website’s overall quality, since the standby engine does not conflict with any of those (as it is only activated when your visitors are inactive). The only change is that your blog will be a Green Website and help in making the web a much greener place to surf.

9. Multiple Content Blocks

With this plug-in, you can use more than one content “block” on a template. You only have to insert one tag inside the template, so its easy to use. When you make a WordPress template, you can show the content of the current page by using the code the_content();, but when you have (for example) several columns, you cannot split these in different content “blocks”.

10. Short URL Plugin

Short URL allows you to create shorter URL’s and keeps track of how many times a link has been clicked. It’s useful for managing downloads, keeping track of outbound links and for masking URL’s. Clicking the Clear All Clicks button will reset the count for each entry. Visit the plugin page for more information about this plugin.

Version 2.7.1 includes pagination of links, easier setup of htaccess (permalinks) and allows admins to pass variables to their redirects. It also allows customisation of the permalink so you’re no longer limited to /u/23.

Modify u.php if you’d like a custom message when a redirect is not found.
