WordPress Plugins I’m Currently Using

March 6th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

It’s been a while since I posted the plugins that I use on this site. I’ve added a few more this week including the dofollow plugin and the top commentators plugin you can see in my sidebar. If you are using any plugins that you think I should give a try, or are good replacements for the ones I’m using, then please let me know in a comment.

Below are the great WordPress plugins that I currently use on this site - all 33 of them:

  1. Angsuman’s Feed Copyrighter v1.0 by Angsuman Chakraborty: hopefully discourages content thieves
  2. Angsuman’s Referrer Bouncer v1.2 by Angsuman Chakraborty: Great tool for reducing referral spam
  3. Angsuman’s Translator Plugin Pro v4.0.1 by Angsuman Chakraborty: starting to come into it’s own by sending non-english traffic
  4. Brian’s Latest Comments v1.5.8 by Brian Meidell
  5. Comment Quicktags v1.9 by Owen Winkler

  12. Full Text Feed v1.03 by Ronald Heft, Jr.: Vital plugin
  13. Google (XML) Sitemaps v3.0b6 by Arne Brachhold: Now includes Yahoo support and I’m convinced this is why I’m now getting twice as much traffic from yahoo

    The versatility of WordPress due to them being open source has ereally given them the bulk of the CMS / Blogging market. Thanks for a fine list of Plugins. Am new to your blog and very interested to see what you’re up to, and have been up to. Keep up the good work.

    Wow, I can’t believe how many resources you give away at this site. These plugins all look excellent – I’m definitely going to be checking them all out. Wordpress is a brilliant piece of software, in my opinion, much better than what others offer you. The fact that we can do much with it is simply excellent – and I’m only just getting into this, but it looks like a seriously major bit of fun. Social bookmarking is great too, only just got into it, but it’s excellent. I think if Google went down for a day, I wouldn’t be perturbed – as I use a lot of my social bookmarking sites to do searches instead of Google.
