jQuery Circulate Prereqs Requires the jQuery Library as well as the Easing plugin. Usage / Options / Defaults Stopping a loop $("#anything").circulate("Stop"); Download VERY BETA: Full package (what you are looking at) 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.

Static files are served to: 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 PHP caching.Compress pages.Don't cache pages for known users.Cache rebuild.CDN support.Extra homepage checks.
