My WordPress Plugin List

Since I have disserted this blog for a long time, I need some updates to make it in better shape. Besides getting most updated version (change log)of WordPress, I have to get plugins and themes.

To keep track of what I have done, here is the first one of “My … List” series (though it is uncertain whether it will really become a series) :


My WordPress Plugin List
(last upate: 2005.08.16)

Currently Using:

  • Spam Karma 2.0 – better user interface, easier to administer
  • Spam Karma 2 Stats
  • Wordspew – using Ajax, this shoutbox can reload itself without reloading the whole page, and it does not use <iframe> to make the page xhtml invalid. It also has an admin interface in the Manage section
  • Live Calendar – like Wordspew, this plugin can change the calendar without reloading the whole page
  • Live Comments Preview
  • Fancy Tooltips – true to its name: fancy and good-looking. Besides links, it also works on other tags like <ins>, <del> and <acronym>.
  • Online Counter
  • Enhanced Post List – much better than the original “Manage Posts” page. When I wrote this (2005.08.16), the author’s website is out of service.
  • Paged Comments Editing – same as Enhanced Post List, but for the “Manage Comments” page
  • Google Sitemap Generator – easy to use, with a separate configuration page
  • Follow URL – I have Spam Karma 2, I do not need nofollow.
  • Geo – cannot think of any useful application of this plugin yet :) I get the co-ordinates with Google Earth (one of the rare occasions I must use m$ windows.

Testing:

  • IImage Browser – very easy to add image to posts. I originally used a pop-up hack, but it does not seem to work with the new theme. This may be my way out.
  • IImage Gallery – easy to post more than one photo in the same post, requires more settings than IImage Browser
  • Gravatars – this is not the official plugin. Apparently, it gives you a configuration page in the Options section. I can’t still get it running with the themes. :(
  • Yahoo/MSN Smileys – easy to set up, but I wonder if there are other choices …
  • Recent Comments – with a configuration interface
  • Cross-themes Stylesheets
  • X-Vaild – check whether the posts and comments are xhtml-valid and automatically correct them, with a configuration page
