Add Amazon-style Zooming To Your WordPress Post Images Would you like to add a zooming feature to your WordPress images, just like Amazon has on its product pages? Are you looking for the ability to pan around a thumbnail and see a magnified version or to zoom in and out using just the mouse scroll wheel?

Highly configurable it provides all the options required to replicate the Amazon imaging zooming experience and more as these examples illustrate.

Using The elevateZoom Plugin As far as possible, I’ve tried to make the plugin work with standard WordPress output. The plugin won’t do anything out-of-the-box, so download it and we’ll step through setting it up. Configuring The Settings
WP Super Cache This plugin generates static html files from your dynamic WordPress blog. After a html file is generated your webserver will serve that file instead of processing the comparatively heavier and more expensive WordPress PHP scripts. The static html files will be served to the vast majority of your users, but because a user's details are displayed in the comment form after they leave a comment those requests are handled by the legacy caching engine. Users who are not logged in.Users who have not left a comment on your blog.Or users who have not viewed a password protected post. 99% of your visitors will be served static html files. If for some reason "supercaching" doesn't work on your server then don't worry. The plugin serves cached files in 3 ways (ranked by speed): Mod_Rewrite. If you're new to caching use PHP caching. Recommended Settings Advanced users will probably want to use mod_rewrite caching, but PHP caching is almost as good and recommended for everyone else.

Drag & Drop Featured Image Drag & Drop Featured Image is a plugin made to save you time when setting a featured image. What it does is simple, it replaces the default "Set featured image" metabox with a new one containing a Plupload drop area just like the one found in the media uploader. Since it uses the default WordPress functions it will compress all sizes just as the regular upload method would and it also respects any custom image sizes. In WordPress versions lower than 3.5 the page will reload after a successful image upload in order to show the new image. If you want to showcase testimonials on your website I highly recommend you to download the Testionials Widget plugin by Michael Cannon.
