Ever wanted to make a sidebar navigational menu for your WordPress 3.0 blog similar to Joomla, and Drupal content management systems Sidebar navigational menu which is displayed on every page of the CMS website.
By having custom Menus for your pages and categories, your WordPress blog can act more like a CMS or website with a blog rather then just a blog. Also, having better organized custom menus can make navigating your blog a lot more easier since people do not have to bookmark individual pages on your blog to find pages and categories. They can just click on a link in your sidebar which save them time, and makes it less confusing on how to navigate through your blog.
Having a good navigation and linking structure on your blog, website, or forum can decrease bounce rate meaning people will not leave your site because it is cluttered and hard to navigate.
Also, having Navigation Menus can increase Search Engine Optimization for pages and categories on your blogs since they are easier for search engines to find if there is a link to the page on your navigation bar. A navigation bar is kind of like a sitemap for users and search engines to use to find content.
WordPress 3.0 has a Section called Menu under Appearance in the back end administrator control panel of WordPress 3.0. The Menu section lets bloggers easily make custom menus which add links to pages and categories. The Menu feature is very easy to use. It is just point and click, and no coding is required.
You use the Widget section under the Appearance’s section to position and add your custom menu to your sidebar, footer, or other section on your blog which accept Widgets.

One of the hassles of running an antivirus, antispyware, and antimalware on your computer are false positives. For example, Immunet quarantined a program called WinTV.exe and WinTVTray.exe which are known good software made by my TV tuner company. It moved the files to the quarantine folder, but you can’t just go into your antivirus or other security quarantine folder since the antivirus program sometimes store quarantine files as a weird file extension like .001 .002, etc like the picture above.
This can make life kind of frustrating for a novice user who lost his homework, programs, etc because the antivirus or antispyware automatically quarantine a file which it thought was a virus, but not.

Ever wanted to make it easy for your visitors to find out which blog posts are most commented on your WordPress 3.0 blog. Well, I found a nice Widget Plug-in for WordPress for easily displaying your most commented posts in WordPress Blog software.
Having a most commented blog post plug-in for your sidebar can lead to more comments and views for your blog. Readers might be curious on why a post have so many comments, or want to join in on the conversation by adding a comment. Plus, readers love to read posts with lots of comments since comments can sometimes contain very useful information on the topics in a posts. Some readers might be more comfortable commenting on posts with many comments since it is less intimidating like how some people find chatting in a group more social then chatting with one person.
It is also possible for search engines to easily index your most commented posts since there is a link to your most commented posts on every post in your sidebar.
Having a most commented blog post Plug-in can also decrease your bounce rate since readers can click on a link in your most commented plug-in on your sidebar instead of going to another website, or hitting the back button to go back to the search results page.
