Blog Website configuration and plugins used
0I’ve used the Pixelated wordpress theme and added the suckerfish css drop down menu for wordpress in this site. After commenting out the wordpress nav bar in the header.php file, I pasted in the suckerfish menu instead, I then disabled the style sheet that came with the menu in the menu options so that the drop down menu navigation bar in this site uses the pixelated theme. Here’s a list of some other plugins for wordpress that I’ve found useful…

Audio Player
Contact Form 7
Countdown Timer
