			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I actually forgot about Dreamweaver Extensions and was reminded by a collegue when he sent me a cool <a href="http://www.oceangray.net/dreamweaver-wordpress-extension/" target="_blank">WordPress extension</a> that makes use of nifty menu&#8217;s to drop in often used WordPress query&#8217;s, loops and other handy tags. As I looked through the functionality provided by this extension, I was left hmm&#8217;ing&#8230; I was sure there was a better one to be found. Fortunately I found one&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://solutoire.com/tagstention/" target="_blank">Solutoire.com TAGStention</a> is one of the better WordPress Dreamweaver Extensions available and the one that I&#8217;m currently using now. Normally I make use of a growing cheat-sheet file that has all my often used WordPress tags, loops and commands. This TAGStention addition to Dreamweaver looks to be replacing this file of mine with some simple menu clicks.<a href="http://wpguru.co.za/wp-content/uploads/dw-header.gif"><img class="alignright alignnone size-full wp-image-49" style="float: right;" title="dw-header" src="http://wpguru.co.za/wp-content/uploads/dw-header.gif" alt="" width="163" height="206" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s some of the features that I find very useful.</p>
<p>When making your header.php file, this handy menu. With your cursor in the right place, you can, with a few deft clicks, insert all your vital header information.</p>
<p>When making a dynamic theme that can be moved or applied on/in any domain/folder, using WordPress&#8217;s bloginfo() tag proves very handy. TAGStention provides a bloginfo wizard that&#8217;ll allow you to choose the tag you want to insert &#8211; perhaps a little cumbersome, but useful nonetheless.</p>
<p><a href="http://wpguru.co.za/wp-content/uploads/dw-bloginfo.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-50" title="dw-bloginfo" src="http://wpguru.co.za/wp-content/uploads/dw-bloginfo.gif" alt="" width="413" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>There&#8217;s still many ways that I think an extension like this can be improved and so I&#8217;m currently looking at developing my own extension. I&#8217;ll be sure to post about it here when its finished.</p>
<p>You can <a href="http://www.solutoire.com/download/tagstention_v0.3.zip" target="_blank">download TAGStention here</a>.</p>

The beauty of this plugin is that once its installed &amp; setup, it then runs quietly &amp; efficiently in the background &#8211; updating all the major search engines with each post &amp; page update that you do.  This plugin will create a Google sitemaps compliant XML-Sitemap of your WordPress blog. It supports all of the WordPress generated pages as well as custom ones. Everytime you edit or create a post, your sitemap is updated and all major search engines that support the sitemap protocol, like ASK.com, Google, MSN Search and YAHOO, are notified about the update.  This plugin also comes with a number of translations in case English isn&#8217;t your first language.</p>
