A new WordPress plugin (called the ‘SEO Alt Tag Optimizer‘) has been developed that allows a website owner to make full use of the Image Alt tags to assist in improving your search engine rankings through the effective utilisation of established and proven search engine optimization techniques.
What this plugin does, is that is creates 3 images on every page of your WordPress site, and populated these images ALT tags with different combinations of the following blog strings:
- Wordpress Site’s Name
- Wordpress Site’s Description
- Wordpress Page’s Title (if you are on homepage, category page or archives page)
- WordPress Post’s Title (if you are on a single post page)
The uniqueness and second benefit of this plugin is that the 3 images are also used to allow your web site visitors to increase the font size, decrease the font size or to return the font size back to the default size. This assists any visitor with any accessibility difficulties to read your web site without having to change their own browser’s viewing settings.
This plugin helps to increase your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) score by up to 5%, but it is also a fully working font re-sizer tool.

A new version of the Google Sitemaps - Append UTW Tags plugin has been released (v2.0b) to automatically append all the Ultimate Tag Warrior (UTW) tags onto the end of your Google XML sitemap (sitemap.xml) file.
This WordPress 2.0, 2.1 & 2.2 compatible plugin saves your site administrator in having to manually add the URLs of all the tag pages each time you add a new UTW tag onto a new post.
This release automatically reads all the necessary UTW settings and associated tag tables so that no configuration changes are necessary to execute this time-saving plugin.

This blog has been updated to v2.0.7 as there were a few security issues and the upgrade was mandatory.
I am waiting till all the WordPress plugins fully support v2.1 before the next major update (e.g. the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin).
If you use WordPress and use Ultimate Tag Warrior / Google Sitemap Generator plugins (or you want to start to use tags to help categorise your blog) then my tag-addon plugin has been tested with the newest versions of these two plugins as detailed below to automatically add these tags onto your sitemap file.
This plugin automatically adds your tags onto the end of the sitemap.xml file.

This site uses the Bad Behavior plugin for WordPress. The latest release is 2.0.9. This plugin helps to protect against blog & RSS feed spammers and other spambots from entering your site.
Go here to download the Bad Behavior plugin for WordPress.
The Dicontas Blog site (on Email Monitoring and Email Filtering) has been updated to use WordPress 2.0.5.
This is a required upgrade. The installation went as planned and all site features and installed plugins seem to be fully working.
Great work again by the WordPress Team.
I have just published a new plugin to integrate the Ultimate Tag Warrior (UTW) tags and Google Sitemaps (GS) plugins for WordPress 2.0.4 and 2.0.5.
This plugin extracts the UltimateTagWarrior tags from the WordPress database and appends each of the tags URLs onto the end of the Google sitemap XML file when you execute the Google sitemaps plugin to create a new sitemap.
This plugin saves you having to manually add the URL (into the Google Sitemaps Additional Pages section) each time you use a new Ultimate Tag Warrior tag in a new post.
