Wow… WordPress plugins. What a topic.<\/p>\n
I like WordPress, a lot! Barely a day goes by when I am not installing it or modifying it for one of our clients. WordPress simply rocks! For those who do not know, WordPress<\/a> is the Open Source blog engine of choice for YVOD.<\/p>\n WordPress has a plugin architecture that allows anyone to extend what their blog can do. The plugins available for WordPress are simply astounding! Just today I spent over 2 hours learning about and trying new plugins I found off the weblogtoolscollection.com<\/a> and guff<\/a> sites.<\/p>\n I currently have a few plugins running and I thought I would share. Here they go, in order of importance.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Akismet<\/a> – The best comment spam blocker on the planet!<\/p>\n Spam Karma 2<\/a> – The movie was terrible but the plugin works great! Lovely stuff =)<\/p>\n Bad Behavior<\/a> – More comment spam goodness. Not sure if this is needed, but I like these guys just the same.<\/p>\n The Excerpt Reloaded<\/a> – Display a snippet of your post with a “more…” link after it. Great for long posts!<\/p>\n Email Responder<\/a> – Automatically send an email to those great folks who comment on your blog whenever you reply to their comments. How cool is that?<\/p>\n Get A Post<\/a> – Place a post at the top of a page.<\/p>\n 404 Notifier<\/a> – What? Your page moved or does not exist? Find out via email.<\/p>\n Link Harvest<\/a> – Harvest links from your WordPress database and create a links list sorted by popularity.<\/p>\n Sad Story:<\/b> Translator used to be a great free plugin. Now he charges $30\/download and does not link back to the old, free, code. What a waste. If folks want to make money off their code, fine. But I find it highly suspect when you use another companies translation engine to make money for yourself. All Translator does it feed your blog post to translate.google.com.<\/p>\n Here is a link to the old (free) code<\/a> along with the image flags and an example text file you can place in your sidebar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wow… WordPress plugins.
