Hi Carlos, can you elaborate why people should add these plugins? Thanks!

Hi and thanks for sharing this post. However I also would add to your list "WordPress Related Post Plugin" and some plugin for cache like "Quick Cache" or "W3 Total Cache", specially after the Panda and Penguin update of Google.

Again thanks for your post!

Hi Lynn,
no, we didn't. The problem was that this was the website for the Haiti Red Cross and most donation systems require that you are registered as a Non-Profit in the US, which of course the Haitian Red Cross wasn't. And I don't know enough to set up a secure credit card processing API.

Great post! Are you taking donations on the site? If so, what are you using?

Hey Timo, be careful not to fill your wordpress installation with unnecessary plugins. Usually over twenty plugins tend to make it a bit unstable (internal server errors etc). Cheers and keep up the good work!

Timo, this is really useful stuff. Thanks very much for going to the trouble of posting this. A lot of other National Societies could benefit from it, I'm sure.
What is the e-mail arrangement you made for the CR Haiti?
