WordPress Plugins I’m Currently Using
Everton | Mar 06, 2007 | Comments 31
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:
- Angsuman’s Feed Copyrighter v1.0 by Angsuman Chakraborty: hopefully discourages content thieves
- Angsuman’s Referrer Bouncer v1.2 by Angsuman Chakraborty: Great tool for reducing referral spam
