Easy Popular Posts

Description

This easy to use WordPress plugin is designed to add a new feature for theme developers. Used on many of my own websites as well as those of my clients, the plugin allows me to quickly add a collection of popular posts to any theme element.

The plugin can easily be used by website owners as a WordPress Widget, adding lists of posts to the Sidebar of a WordPress website.

About the plugin

More advanced users can also call the functionality of the plugin from a WordPress shortcode by adding the code [thisismyurl_easy_popular_posts] to any Post or Page within WordPress.

Finally, theme authors may also take advantage of the plugin by calling the functionality directly from theme files with the code thisismyurl_easy_popular_posts();.

This plugin was originally authored by Christopher Ross.

but it stopped working after I updated both the plugin version (after a long time) and the wordpress version (no errors, tough to debug. just…not showing up in articles). With so many other alternatives today, couldn’t be bothered to keep on with it.

At it’s most basic, losing weight is about burning more calories than you eat. That seems simple enough, but if were really that simple, none of us would have a weight problem. Too often we take drastic measures to see results — botanical slimming , pills or meizitang gadgets on infomercials that promise instant success. Maybe you lose weight but what happens when you go off lida daidaihua or stop that crazy workout program? You gain it all back and more. The real secret to weight loss is 2 day diet , lasting changes. The key is super slim pomegranate about instant results and settle in for the long run. To lose one pound of fat , you must burn approximately 3500 calories over and above what you already burn doing daily activities. That sounds like a lot of calories and you certainly wouldn’t want to try to burn 3500 calories in one day. However, by taking slim forte step-by-step, you can determine just what you need to do each day to burn or cut out those extra calories. Below is a step by step process for dream body . Calculate your activity level. For a week or so, keep an activity journal and use a calorie calculator to figure out how many calories you burn while sitting, standing, exercising, lishou , etc. throughout the day. Another, easier option is to wear a heart rate monitor that calculates calories burned. After a week, add your pai you guo for each day and average them out to get a general idea of how many calories you burn each day. Keep track of how many calories you eat . For at least a week, enter and track your calories online (e.g., with botanical slimming ) or use a food journal to write down what you eat and drink each day. Be as accurate as possible, measuring when you need to or looking up nutritional information for restaurants, if you eat out. After a week, add your totals for each day and average them out to get a meizi evolution of how many calories you eat each day. http://www.helloslimming.com Posted in Uncategorized|Leave a comment According to your details Posted on June 12, 2012 by slimforte Like it or, but a sedentary lifestyle at office seems to be the professional fate for most of us. However, sitting in a similar posture for hours over several days can actually kill you slowly but steadily. According to studies, a deskbound job dramatically increases you chances of becoming obese which you may not notice initially. You can’t change your job but you can definitely inculcate some botanical slimming to lower the risk of fat accumulation while at office. Never skip slim forte . Avoid microwave shortcuts; instead prepare meizitang which would provide you with enough energy to last the day. Carry 2 day diet like a bowl of super slim pomegranate , energy bars, a fistful of nuts or lida daidaihua to office. Always keep a bottle of water nearby; pai you guo not only reduces the tendency to snack, but water flushes out toxins from your body making you leaner and healthier. Carry your p57 whenever possible. At the office cafeteria, have your coffee black with abc acai berry instead of the regular cream. With an elaborate breakfast already in your system, you may not need a heavy meal. So prepare something which is light and simple like lean meat sandwiches or salads without dressing. If you are on a diet and having meizi evolution , carry your special lunch to office so that you don’t succumb to the temptations of cafeteria food. Grab every opportunity of taking a walk. If you need to send papers or retrieve documents from somewhere else, get up and do it yourself without depending on somebody else. Climb stairs instead of taking the elevator. Park you car a little distance from your office block so that you have to walk to your office. Go out for lunch to some nearby place which serves healthy food. Not only will you eat slim xtreme gold but that walk too; is good for your fitness. Take a walk while a program is loading on your computer. Check out various sites on the internet which show you how to do exercises while working at your desk using office equipments like your chair. http://www.helloslimming.com
