During the course of the year I have written a few posts regarding eBay and each time I do some of my readers state that they’re yet to get onto eBay although it is on their to do list.

With this in mind I thought that I would bring a free ebook to your attention. The eBook is called Newbies Auction Profits and was written by my online friend John “Ed” Edwards who also wrote Skincare Profits Auction Goldmine. As I said Newbies Auction Profits is totally free of charge and can be downloaded from this post.

With Christmas a matter of days away and the new year following shortly behind it I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you A Very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.

 I hope that you are ending this year on a happier note than you started it with and that your online efforts are being recognized and that you’re being rewarded for them.

Did you achieve all that you set out to achieve at the start of the year?

I did, but to be honest I didn’t set myself a hard target as I started this year as I ended 2009, on bed rest awaiting another operation, which I had in February allowing me out of bed at the start of March.

In my last blog post I told you about 5 plugins that I feel are essential for my blogs performance. It was quite hard to pick just 5 as I use a few more that could be classed as either essential or extremely beneficial to myself, my traffic and of course my readers.

At the end of that post I said that I would detail 5 more plugins in my next post, this being it. However, as I said above choosing just 5 can be difficult, so I have chosen 10 plugins for this post, which are:

As we know there are literally Thousands of plugins for our WordPress blogs, some people love them and some people loath them.

But there are some that love or loath we simply have to have installed on our blogs if we really want to see results from our blogging efforts.

Listed below are the Top Five Plugins that I think are essential for my blogs performance and security.

Update: The Highlighter website is no longer available.

As you know there are a wide variety of tools available to enhance your WordPress blogs and I recently came across one in the form of plugin called:

Highlighter

The Highlighter plugin is FREE of charge and allows your readers to share your blog post with their friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter, while also giving them the opportunity to comment on any area of the post they wish to as well as emailing details of your posts to their friends.
