Hey Kristi,
I was wondering if you have a good reference for how ti input this footer after each post. I have been getting more guest bloggers and I would love to have that at my footer. My footer is similar already, but wonder what the code is to add authors… not very CSS savvy. Thanks!!

Thanks for the great list of plugins. I am using most of these plugins on my blogs. I am also using deep link engine which is similar to yarpp but allows you to select the tags you would like to use for related posts, the number of related posts to display, as well as choosing which posts you do display. I’ve found it to be pretty useful.

Does anyone else use this plugin?

Some excellent plugins here, I particularly like the look of the target visitors plugin, can think of a few good uses from a marketing perspective.

Pls forgive the multiple posts, but I thought I should mention another plug-in that I happened to stumble upon a few weeks ago and sincerely love. I think it’s an important plug-in for making your blog as accessible as possible.

It’s WPtouch iPhone Theme. It allows your blog, when viewed on a mobile device (which, let’s be honest, a lot more people do these days) look more like an app than a blog, making reading and browsing a thousand times easier for the mobile user. There are examples on the website at http://www.bravenewcode.com/products/wptouch/

I hope this helps!

Long ago, I got the AddThis Social Bookmarking Widget (drop-down); I’ve had it longer than I can remember. I’m not sure how ShareThis or Sociable compare, but I’m very happy with my AddThis because it’s small and unobtrusive (with the drop-down) but still allows visitors to share a post in many places.

I got ShareThis to give it a whirl, but it isn’t showing up; wonder if AddThis is creating a compatability problem. Suppose I’ll just stick with what works, but I wanted to let everyone know there was another such plug-in they might be interested in trying.

AddThis, in case you are curious how it works/what it looks like, puts a small, oblong icon at the bottom of each post that says “Bookmark” and a few icons of popular places (FB, Del.icio.us, & Digg). When you run your mouse over it, a little window pops up that shows a plethora of share options, including the ability to print or add the post to your Favorites. At the bottom of the two-column list, you can click for “225 more” sharing options!

There is also an AddThis Firefox extension, which I used for awhile on my desktop pc before the reformat I was forced to do last month (don’t ask).

I hope this helps anyone looking for a viable alternative to post-share plug-ins!

I sort of agree.

While you want to keep as many options open to your reader as possible, for whatever they might want to do, I don’t know many people that email pages anymore – since I got heavily into Facebook and Twitter (and got an iPhone), I rarely, if ever, email anything I find online.

But I suppose you want to keep it, because you may have readers that aren’t as tech-savvy, don’t have a FB profile (truly, I have a very techy friend who refuses to get one), etc. For those types, the email option would be viable.

Good list! I hadn’t heard of Search Meter before, and I’ll have to give it a try.

In regards to WP-Email: does anyone actually email a page to someone? I could see how this might be plausible in the early days of the Internet, but now I just Facebook someone, text them with my mobile, or just talk to them in person.

I’ve always thought the “email this” option was a waste of space. Anyone care to disagree?

First time here with you – great list – I very much like that it is leading edge rather then the same-o, same-o goiden moldies

comment relish seems to have gone dark from the WP Install Plugins site – anybody know what is happening with that?

best,

Thanks for mentioning “comment relish”.Getting people back to your blog is really important and a short thank you for commenting with a link back should do the trick.
