I’m rounding out the month of October by sharing a list of my personal favorites that I use on various other blogs I operate. Do you have any ‘to die for’ plugin favorites? Do share!
Better Feed - Brought to you by Ozh - this plugin puts your RSS Feed on steroids! It allows you to enhance your feeds with several highly customisable features.
Comment Relish - A plugin developed to send an e-mail message to users who comment on your website who have never commented before. The message dispatched to the user is defined within the plugin’s preferences. Numerous tags have been integrated to allow for information to be included in the message easily (I.E.: timestamp, author name, comment, ETC.). Developed by Justin Shattuck
Feedburner FeedSmith - This plugin will detect all ways to access your feed (e.g. http://www.yoursite.com/feed/ or http://www.yoursite.com/wp-rss2.php, etc.), and redirect them to your FeedBurner feed so you can track every possible subscriber. It will forward for your main posts feed, and optionally your main comments feed as well.
Post Teaser - Generates a preview or “teaser” of a post for the main, archive and category pages, with a link underneath to go to the full post page. It includes features to generate a word count, image count, and an estimated reading time. Reasons you may want to use Post Teaser: If you keep using the ‘more’ tag in your posts, You would like to save bandwidth by not serving the entire body of each post on your front page.. or, best of all…. you’re just a tease!
Lightbox 2 - Lightbox is a simple, unobtrusive script used to overlay images on the current page. It’s a snap to setup and works on all modern browsers. You need to see it in action to really appreciate it (click on any of the images on that page and you’ll see what I mean!
Can you BELIEVE October is almost over??
