Testing your new WordPress installations or changes offline is very good idea, simply because it’s practical for yourself and your readers. Over the next few weeks I have to setup two new blogs and thought I would share the necessary steps to do so offline.
This series will hopefully get new additions every two days. If you feel like adding to the series, you can give me a link or a full comment and I will check it out.

Most people start a new blog with the thought of either making money or making someone happy. Sometimes it’s both. Here I will focus on my three favorite spots to sell your 125X125 ad spots. You might even get some extra traffic in the process.
1. BuySellAds
If you’re able to get in this is a very nice place to sell your ad spots. If you have a high amount of traffic and a good rating, you should be able to get approval after finishing the many steps.
I’ll give them a 3/5
2. Project Wonderful
I did write a post about them a while ago, but my opinion did change a bit. They’re very strict on ad performance and will shut you down very quickly. It takes a while to build up nice stats on the system and the payout rates are okay. If you have a small blog you might make a few cents.
I’ll rate them 3/5
3. Technorati Engage
First time you’ve heard of them? Don’t feel bad, they’re still in beta version. You will however be able to register for an account and getting in is rather easy. Like the other two you won’t get paid much, but as your blog grows, so will your income. I would recommend them to small and established blogs.
I’ll rate them a 4/5.
If you know of any other sites who will happily sell your ad spots let me know. I’ll put it up.

Recently I made a post about Forum Server, which is a great forum plugin for WordPress. I even called it “awesome” and “the best”. Bbrian from over at Blogengage, thought otherwise and steered me over to Simple:Press.
Now I don’t usually change my mind so quick, but I have to say this Wordpress plugin is even more awesome than the Forum Server plugin.
Easy to install, integration is flawless and the best part is the Blog Post ot Forum option. This allows you to start a forum thread every time you make a new blog post. The post will also have link to the forum thread so people can join the community and take part in the discussion.
Try our live demo here.
Download.

This is the best and most complete one-click install, fully integrated forum plugin available for WordPress IMO. I was actually searching for the BBpress integration plugin, but then stumbled upon “Forum Server”. Decided I will try it out on one of my test blogs and voila, one click and a fully integrated working forum.
I usually don’t go all crazy about plugins, but this one seriously is awesome. You can install it via , Plugins->Add New->Forum Server->Activate.
I changed my opinion a bit. Found an even better forum plugin, me thinks.
Download It Here.
Demo Here.
This just quick shoutout to let everyone know we’re testing new themes and plugins, so the site may go down now and again. But don’t worry, we’ll be back better than ever.
I’m happy to announce the opening of the Purple Hazard Blogging Forum.
The forum will be open for all bloggers interested in interacting with other bloggers. We also decided to add a section specifically for BuddyPress. This includes themes, plugins, general discussion and support.
I would like to send a call out to any BuddyPress devs or smart community members, who will be willing to provide any kind of tips or support to new and old BuddyPress users.
The forum is very simple and clean. Nothing fancy.
Note: The forum got a little revamp and should be easier to join, use and enjoy.
