Ok…we’re at the end of the year and it is time to put up this year’s best…and this is my choice.

The 5 Wordpress plugins in no specific order :

Plugins that make your blogging experience easier.

Firestats - Displays your blog’s stats - one of my favorite, although I would like it to include keywords and maybe the time spent by a visitor. I do like it the way it is though.

SpamKarma - since I’ve installed it, I don’t really know what spam on my blog is anymore. Just be careful with the settings. Chances are you’ll be blocking some of your friends while leaving comments.

SpotMilk Admin theme - Why? Because it looks beautiful and makes my time I spend on the admin more enjoyable.

Snap Preview - It really makes your visitors experience on your web site more easier when you send them to other links by letting them first preview the page they are about to see.

Counterize - Displays your incoming hits. Some of the bar graphs are a bit messy and out of the page … but is well equipped.

The 5 Best Freeware, in this specific order:

1) Advanced WindowsCare Personal- You’ve probably read about it or even use it. It does the job is meant to do and it is very easy to use. Plus, you don’t need to do all that Windows Services tweaking. This freeware does it for you. Highly recommended.

2) RegToy - Everything about this freeware is perfect, starting with the fact that is really small and includes great features, such as file splitting, registry cleaning, tweaking and so many more. (more about it on Freewarefiles.com)

If is perfect, why did I put it on the second place? Well, simply because Advanced Windows Care has 2 features that RegToy doesn’t have and those are: A spyware scan and a security defense (something like Spyware Blaster incorporated).

3)Comodo Firewall - This is a great freeware firewall. One might say that freeware can’t do as best as a software but it isn’t always like that. Just visit their forum for more information.

4)Avast Home edition - There’s nothing much to say about it. It is a good free anti virus. The only “down” about it… scanning your files can take a “while”.

And finally…

5) Iobit SmartDefrag. - If you can’t afford Diskeeper Pro, then SmartDefrag is what you need.

The 5 Best web sites (again…my choice) in no specific order:

DownloadSquad - One of my favorite.

StumbleUpon - everyone should get an account in there. It’s a great place with a great community. And the people of this community will actually read your entries… unlike others.Plus, you get to find anything you need in there.

TechMeme - i discovered not so long ago. This is the place to get your latest technology information.

Listible.com - that’s the place to go if you are looking for goodies, lists, etc.

Goowy.com - e-mail, storage, im, minis,…all in one place.

Well, that’s it for now.
