I’ve been using Wordpress for a little while now and have subsequently acquired more plugins. You may remember a while back, right after I started using Wordpress I listed the plugins I was using in the plugin meme that Adam started. Here’s a list of the plugins I’m using now:
- Ultimate Tag Warrior. Let’s me easily put Technorati tags in my posts. Also generates the tag cloud on my archives page.
- Extended Live Archives. Possibly the best plugin I use. Makes it much easier to dig in the archives.
- Akismet. Awesome spam protection.
- Delicious Cached. Nice way to display my del.icio.us links on my blog. I use this for the “Just a Link” section in the sidebar.
- Flickr RSS. Generates the flickr pictures in the sidebar.
- Gravatar. Look in a post’s comments section and you’ll see that some people have a real picture next to their comment. That’s their gravatar. If you want one of your own (it’s free) just go to gravatar.com and register yours. Then, every time you leave a comment on a gravatar-enabled site, such as Open Switch, your gravatar will AUTOMATICALLY show up. Sweet.
- In Touch. This is what I use for the Contact form.
- Related Posts. Automatically generates a list of related posts on each individual post page. Nice little feature.
- Scripturizer Remix. Automatically links all Scripture references to BibleGateway.com
- Subscribe to Comments. Lets people get an email when someone responds to a comment they made on a post. Great to have because it encourages discussion.
- TFS Acronymit. Automatically defines any acronyms I use in posts or comments. Nice.
- TFS Pirate. Only good for “Talk like a pirate day” each year. Still nice because it piratizes all the posts and comments on that day.
So, as you can plainly see my collection of plugins has greatly increased and improved. If you have any questions about implementing these plugins on your Wordpress blog feel free to ask me.
