We recently published a list of the Top 10 Most Downloaded WordPress Plugins and you should definitely take a look at that list.

But, I thought it would be valuable to list out numbers 11-20 as well, since those are also very good. Remember, this list is solely based on the number of downloads!

I thought so too and I instantly checked ManageWP and their web service that advertises the ability to manage multiple WordPress blogs with one easy-to-use dashboard.

Here’s what I found…

The 8BIT guys (and gals) love to “high five,” have fun, and pretty much goof off as much as we possibly can (within any legal constraints, of course).

But, I had no idea that there was a “right” and “wrong” way to do it; have you reviewed the “High Five Etiquette” recently?

YouTube has revolutionized the way we view media on the internet.

Now they are at it again with a little “easter egg” of sorts. Did you know that you can play snake on YouTube? Yes, I had to try it myself before I believed the possibilities of having something to do while a video loaded or when I was bored.

Head over to YouTube, find a video that has the newest player (usually on all new videos submitted. You can recognize the new player by the glass or transparent play button at the bottom of the video). Once you find a video let it play for a second and then hit pause. Give it a second to load out some more and then hold the left arrow key…and boom, you are playing snake.

As you can see, when we have free time at the 8BIT Network we like to play snake and watch Andy Stanley videos.

Enjoy and don’t hit the walls.

I’ve been lucky (blessed?) not to ever have had a “cyberstalker” and hopefully it’ll stay that way forever. I’m not interested and I simply don’t have time to manage that type of junk.

But, let’s say that you were a victim of a cyberstalker – how do you get rid of them? Apparently you do these three things:

More and more would-be first time guests will visit your church’s website before they ever walk through the doors.

In fact, it’s easier to spend a Sunday afternoon googling local churches, and reading through their respective websites, than it is to get all the kids bathed, dressed, fed, loaded into the Tahoe, unloaded, registered, and wrestled into an oh-so-unfamiliar Sunday school environment just to “try out” a new church for the first time.

Let’s face it, your website will either be a bridge or a barrier for new church members. If this is true, and I believe it is, how can you make it a bridge?
