List Of Plugins Used On This Site – Sept 08

As most of you have probably noticed, I’ve been mega-busy over the last couple of months thanks to a combination of my day job, health issues, moving home and recently getting engaged and trying to plan a wedding.  I had to put a lot of things on hold, but I think I’ve managed to get everything back under control and I can now start posting again regularly.

Things have been so busy that I haven’t even had time to read my personal email.  I’ve just spent 5 hours clearing out my email and in amongst all the other emails was a request from Philip from MS Windows Home Server asking me to update the list of WordPress plugins in use on this site. Hopefully this list will be of use to other users.  If you are using any plugins you want to recommend to other readers, then please leave a comment below.
