Tuesday Blog Tool

Here’s a cool tool to make your blogging life a little easier.

It’s called OneClick Install and it allows you to upload new themes and plugins without having to use your file transfer program (FTP) to upload them to your site first.

Normally to install a new theme or plugin you have to:

  • Go find the theme or plugin files on a website.
  • Download the files to your computer.
  • Zip the files together (if not already done.)
  • Open your file transfer program.
  • Upload the files to the right place on your site.
  • Unzip the files.
  • Go back to your Dashboard.
  • Install the Theme or PlugIn.

Once you install OneClick you simply go to your Dashboard and click on the OneClick Install link:

It uploads the files, unzips them and makes them ready to install. Pretty cool.
