Yes indeed. Kristi has been providing us some cool stuffs!
GA now has been inaccurate with the information they’re giving, they have lost their reliability. I won’t recommend it nowadays.

Agreed.

Plugins are an essential part of adding key features to WP core.

The WP development team realizes there are thousands of features they could add that would help bloggers but it would bloat the overall wordpress core. Besides bloating the core many features are only used by some bloggers. Thus plugins were born.

Getting a great Cache system in place, ie. W3 Total Cache and most of your multiple plugin problems are solved. The only major challenge plugins cause are incompatible code between plugins and themes.

WP’s the best because of plugins like WP-Navi. The easier my readers can find my content the better.

Great list. I am a HUGE fan of WordPress. When I really started to pay attention to them they had just surpassed the 4,000+ plugin mark. Now they are up over 11,000 plugins and climbing fast. Quite something.

My favorite plugin is the blubrry podcasting plugin. I use it to publish my podcast. It’s easy to install has iTunes support and is very robust …and best of all like most plugins it’s free!

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.
