As always, before adding any new plugin do a back up.

Firstly, go to Plugins in your Dashbord, then click on "Add New"

Very nice, Kathy! Excellent idea that will save me a lot of time. I just created my WA page, and almost every comment I get is littered with other member's WA links so they get the credit for the people I register and I have to go and edit their info to remove the comment.

Great idea Kathy!
... makes it easier for sure, but since I approve comments first it's nothing to just click the X and be done with it - one less plugin even though it doesn't impact speed.

Got a question though:
That gtmetrix link you gave is FABULOUS !!! ... thank you!
... my site seems very good with site speed but YSlow is not - is that really important? All A's but 4 F's - content delivery network? Yikes - what's a CDN and does it matter?

I don't know all the ins and outs of it all - more studying - aargh

I approve comments too, but keep forgetting to remove the url, the more automation for me the better!

Regarding Gmetrix, some great training from Marcus here.

That's great - thanks!!!!
... hahaha - I may be adding that in time.
It would be nice if Wordpress just put that option in themselves.

Hi Kathy I have been using Avoid Linkback Abuse (ALA) and my speed is still unchanged.

Hi Kathy, thanks, very useful. There was earlier an instruction by Caraid to do it without plugin, but not so trvial.

Question: once this is done, can plugin be deactivated or it stays (within famous 5-plugins limit, or 15 in my case)?

Good question Jovo

The only related one from Caraid I could find was this one which is different. It needs to stay activated to work Jovo, but it certainly hasn't caused any issues with my sites. :)

Yes that is what Caraid suggested, easy for him, he is a true expert in this. He left as you know.

Yes I know he left, however he sayd "but if I should change my mind, and time permits then I might well be back, on the heals of all you top WA Affiliates"

I was sad to see Caraid go, he always gave such good advice, hopefully he'll make it back.
