WordPress Plugin Overload!


I thought Akismet was a good WordPress plugin for fighting blog spam, but yesterday I installed one that is even better.  Rather than catching spam and putting it in a spam folder, Bad Behavior is a set of PHP scripts which prevents spambots from even accessing your site by analyzing their actual HTTP requests and comparing them to profiles from known spambots.  This is a great solution as the Bad Behaviour plugin doesn't affect genuine commenters.  Since I installed it yesterday no spam at all has got through.  I'm still running Akismet as a backup to catch any sad (and inefficient) spammers who manually post spam on blogs.

I added a few more plugins yesterday and I think that's enough for now as I think I've been doing too much tinkering with my blog and not enough posting over the last two weeks.  I've created a new page which displays all the 50 or so plugins I've installed (created with a plugin of course!). 

My latest plugin efforts include:

Comment Plugins 

  • Edit Comments: Allows users to edit their comments for up to 30 minutes after posting. Very useful if you make a mistake
  • Gravatar:This plugin allows you to generate a gravatar URL complete with rating, size, default, and border options. Took me a while to get this one workin, but I think it was worth it.
  • Gravatar Signup: Allows commenters to sign up for a gravatar by clicking a checkbox and filling in a desired password
  • Impostercide: Prevents unauthenticated users from “signing” a comment with a registered users email address
  • Paged Comments: Breaks down comments into a number of pagesQuote Comment     Creates a function that outputs a link that allows commenters to click it and quote the selected comment. Configure via the options page.
