WP Auctions is a plugin which allows you to run auctions at your wordpress blogs. You can simply drag drop this WP Auctions widget in the sidebar and you are ready to run auctions. You can also embed this plugin in your post but i haven’t tried it yet.

I have added the WP Auctions plugin on the top of the middle side bar.

I am using the free version of this plugin and there is a gold version(which you will have to buy for a few bucks) where you will get more options to configure the plugin and more themes to alter the look & feel of it.

WP Contact Form Plugin is a very useful plugin to set up a contact page so that visitors can easily send an email through this page.

1. Download the zipped copy of WP Contact Form Plugin and unzip it.

2. Upload the unzipped copy into your /public_html/wp-content/plugins folder using the ftp client. I use FileZilla as my ftp client.

3. Login to the Admin area of your wordpress blog and go to “Plugins” option. There you can see the newly updated “Contact Form 7” plugin. Activate the plugin.

4. Go to “Contact” -> “Edit” which you can find just below the “Settings”. There you can set the target email id through which your visitors should contact you.

5. Now you can make a Contact Form Post, Page or Text Widget. I will explain for the Contact Form Page. Add a new page and copy the code as shown in the below picture

into the page’s content area. Make sure you turn off the comments option for this page. Add a link to this “Contact Page” and you are done.
