I use the small revenues generated from various ads placed on the site to help pay for the website hosting and other fees, also users might be interested in the services on offer.
There are a lot of banner ad services of there that are suitable for the site and do serve interesting ads, but I don’t want to show them all because it detracts from the content. A better approach is to serve a different ad each time and get the variety in this way, without bombarding my visitors.

So, I’m looking for a plugin to do this for me.
The first candidate is AdRotator which looks like it will do the job without being too heavy-weight.
I’m looking down the WordPress list of Ad plugins for alternatives though.

I’m on a quest to be able to import RSS feeds from other peoples blogs onto mine, this is called syndication and is encouraged in the blogging industry so long as you provide a link back (or have permission).
The idea is that I can syndicate certain posts from other similar blogs, or my own other blogs.

So far I’ve come up with a good candidate: FeedWordPress . It has a good range of features and seem to be fairly active too!
I found it on a list of WordPress syndication plugins but they are mainly for producing feeds from your own blog for others to syndicate or read using a RSS aggregator.
