My WordPress Plugins

Posted on by
I’ve spent a bit of time learning about WordPress (which powers this blog) and some of the plugins that are available for it. Depending on what your requirements are, there are a multitude of WP plugins that you can choose from. Here are some of mine:

  1. Align RSS Images – Makes image alignment work in RSS feeds
  2. All in One SEO Pack – Out-of-the-box SEO for your WordPress blog
  3. Broken Link Checker – Checks your posts for broken links and missing images and notifies you on the dashboard if any are found.
  4. Facebook Comments – Copies comments from your imported Facebook Notes back into your blog entries.
  5. Frame Free – Frame Free is a plugin to remove any frame created by Digg, Facebook, Google Images, Ow.ly and any other third party services.
  6. Google Analytics for WordPress – This plugin makes it simple to add Google Analytics with extra search engines and automatic clickout and download tracking to your WordPress blog.
  7. Google XML Sitemaps – This plugin will generate a sitemaps.org compatible sitemap of your WordPress blog which is supported by Ask.com, Google, MSN Search and YAHOO.
  8. LiveJournal Crossposter Remix – Automatically copies all posts to a LiveJournal or other LiveJournal-based blog. Editing or deleting a post will be replicated as well.
  9. Live Space Sync – A Live Spaces rpc plug-in.
  10. MaxBlogPress Favicon – Easily add favicon to your blog without editing any wordpress files.
  11. Post Notification – Sends an email to all subscribers. (this is how I cross-post to blogger)
  12. Search Unleashed – Advanced search engine that provides full text searching across posts, pages, comments, titles, and URLs.
  13. ShareThis – Let your visitors share a post/page with others.
  14. Socialite – Publishes your WordPress posts to Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. (I use only for Myspace)
  15. Target Blank In Posts And Comments – Inserts target=”_blank” into post and comment content URLs and external links will open in new tabs.
  16. Twitme – This plugin allows you to automatically post your new posts on twitter.
  17. Wordbook – Cross-post your blog updates to your Facebook account.
  18. WordPress Database Backup – On-demand backup of your WordPress database.
  19. wp-cache – Very fast cache module
  20. WP-Cumulus – Flash based Tag Cloud for WordPress
  21. WP-SpamFree – An extremely powerful anti-spam plugin that virtually eliminates comment spam.
    That’s not all of them, of course. What ones do you use?
