Plugin for organizing posts “upside down”
For a client that I recently finished a new WordPress site for needed posts in ascending order. We needed readers to find them in order of when they were written. It’s a lot easier to do this little miracle with a simple plugin…
By default, WordPress organizes post in descending order – which is to say reverse chronological order, or the most recent post at the top. Go here: The WordPress Experts – WPMU.org
I’ll be bringing you more WordPress plugins, apps and resources, so stay tuned!

Hi, Deb! I’m a WordPress lover too
We run WP on all of our blogs because it provides us with the best blogging experience. Thanks for sharing these resources. I’d have to try them all but keeping a back-up before changing anything is a must!
Thanks for the heads up – I am a heavy wordpress user and every time I upgrade I have had plugin issues in the past, however, this time the upgrade just worked with no effort or plugin issues at all!

Interesting post, Deb. Hmm I never seen an ascending post in blogs. Isn’t descending posts more advisable? Though it still depends on the kind of website you have.

Hi Ira,
It is the default order in WordPress and normally, yes, it makes more sense to have them in order with the most recent. However, if you want people to read posts in order, like lessons, using that plugin works to have the first post first, and so on.
Thanks for your comment!
One of my blogs has been hacked a couple of years ago. I use to earn several hundreds from this blog every single month, so I know that protecting your blog is really important. Thanks for the resources.

WordPress is hands down the best platform to use these days. It’s complete, flexible, easy to use and widely known around the world. And security won’t even have to be an issue, yes it is a concern but WordPress has many plugins that can help with that, from backup managers to other security related plugins.

I have been using wordpress for a while and can say that it is pretty amazing. However there are some things that one learns only after making mistakes.
1. Get the permalink structure right the first time. Changing it is very very counter productive. A lot of link building efforts go waste if permalinks need to be changed.
2. Don’t fuss too much about themes. Focus on content and traffic first. Initially and for a long time afterwards, theme does not make much of a difference in the big scheme of things. Content and backlinks are the key. Initially I used to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get the theme “just right”.
