Gravity Forms for WordPress

GravityForms are probably one of the most known, and respected forms plugin providers. As a testament to that, I have had a paid membership for GravityForms since 2010.

The only thing I can say in terms of what to watch for – is that GravityForms to WordPress forms is like ‘Microsoft Word’ to word processors – they can do everything! However, sometimes we just need a simple text editor.

If your needs are simple, I also recommend Contact Form 7 – and I’ll do a quick demo and write up on that soon.

But if you want super flexible forms, conditional logic, subscriptions, addons payments, membership… GravityForms is for you..

Check out the GravityForms website to see the full list of amazing features in this excellent plugin.

BackupBuddy by iThemes

Backupbuddy WordPress Plugin

In terms of backups and disaster recovery, this is probably the best plugin I’ve used, not only for regular backups, scheduled offsite backups, but also site transfers and migrations.

I install it on every client website without exception.

It also comes with a malware checking facility.

It’s one of those plugins that just gets installed, no questions. It’s also one of those plugins, which once in a rare moment, you are soooo glad you installed!

Private Browsing with HideMyAss

HideMyAss Proxy and VPN Software

This is a great utility, for keeping on top of the information that is gathered about you – mostly without you knowing!

It allows anonymous browsing, by using either proxies or a VPN connection. As you can imagine, there are a number of benefits – some more innocent than others..

One of the things I like, is that it allows you to wander around the internet, without all these cookies and advertising tracking following you.

It also allows you to access websites in other countries, that you might not normally be able to access. And on the potentially less innocent side – it let’s you access many websites that have been blocked for various reasons by different ISP’s.

Mostly, I like to simply be in control – and not have people collecting all sorts of information about me without me knowing.
