My last post indicated the plugins that I use on my blog. These are fine but some require that you change code in the actual blog. Changing code is not something that I think people should have to do when all they want to do is publish their thoughts and ideas in their CMS platform. [...]
Wed, 10 Oct 2007 13:02:47 +0000 - My Favourite Wordpress Plugins
Plugins extend and expand the functionality of WordPress. If you are hosting your own blog and want to have complete control over its appearance and functionality then plugins are for you. They are generally very easy to install and what they will do make it easy for someone who can't or don't want to touch the code to create a site that really rocks.The concept is very similar to plugins for applications like firefox, where you can download code that increase what they can do see The Top 50 Lightweight Firefox Add-Ons. Powerful plugins and extensions that will not kill your computer for information about other plugins that I find extremely useful.
I have noticed that it is hard to find what actual plugins people use on their blogs and how they actually look when they are installed. Here is what I have currently installed on my blog and why I chose those plugins. Note that currently the only code changes to Wordpress and my template that I have made, with the exception of plugins are just to implement the threaded comments (just overwriting a file) everything else is as a result of the theme that I am using and the configuration of the plugins I have installed.
In one sentence plugins let you do cool stuff that you can't do with a default wordpress install or by changing the code yourself.
The Plugins below are in no particular order and I am using all of them..
If you are using something else you think I should try - please post below, also consider subscribing to my RSS feed (either in your newsreader or via email) and share this with others.
