Align Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu Plugin’s Menu Icons Nicely
Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu plugin is a really time saver in admin area. And it unclutters the admin view. There is only one small glitch in menu icon aligning, if you have plugins with their own menus. This can be fixed with small code change though…
Default view
In file adminmenu.css.php line 252, change
padding:5px 1px 0;
to
padding:5px 2px 0 6px;
New view
I tested CSS with Chrome 5, Firefox 3.6 and Safari 5.

How to Change the Order of WP Review Site Rating Categories
Changing the order of rating categories is a bit tricky and needs database value altering. Copy the value of rs_categories from database table options.
a:4:{i:3;s:32:"Potential Value for Making Money";i:1;s:27:"Works Without Altering Code";i:2;s:18:"Essential Features";i:0;s:14:"Overall Rating";}
Paste the value to text editor and add line feeds after and before brackets and after after every semicolon, as in the example.
a:4:{
i:0;s:14:"Overall Rating";
i:1;s:27:"Works Without Altering Code";
i:2;s:18:"Essential Features";
i:3;s:32:"Potential Value for Making Money";
}
No you can copy and paste lines to put them into the order you like.
a:4:{
i:3;s:32:"Potential Value for Making Money";
i:1;s:27:"Works Without Altering Code";
i:2;s:18:"Essential Features";
i:0;s:14:"Overall Rating";
}
And after that remove all the line feeds, copy and paste the value back to database.
a:4:{i:3;s:32:"Potential Value for Making Money";i:1;s:27:"Works Without Altering Code";i:2;s:18:"Essential Features";i:0;s:14:"Overall Rating";}
That's it, now the order is changed in every place where ratings are showed.

Break Down the Content on Your Website by Using Tags
There are several ways to arrange WordPress website content. By categories, by dates and by tags. Even tagging is one of the most powerful one, it's not always easy or straightforward.
By using tags you have a powerful way to break down the content on your website. This break down can provide different paths to your content for both humans and search engines. This break down becomes more useful to humans if you link words or tags within the main content.
All categorizing methods bring duplicate content problem. You can use Robots Meta plugin for date archives to use “noindex/follow” robots tag. For category pages you can use Thesis theme's functionality, teaser plugin or “more” tag to show only teaser content.
This break down of content is extremely effective for targeted advertising or affiliate links.
