    Hi Everton,
    I am doing up my list of plugins. I sure had a question in my mind. Do you think so plugins would affect site performance?

    I am currently using similiar numbers....

    Cheers!

    The link to the Related Posts plugin didn't work, but if you just go to the website without the /archive/* bit you can find your way to the download. I'm installing that and maybe the Simple Tagging Plugin. Thanks; I was wondering what plugins people were using.

    Thx SoKoOLz -have you submitted your site to Pimp My Blog? We've had some good successes with this programme

    Yes, it can do. What you should do is monitor your page speed before and after using plugins to see which ones slow your site down. For instance, I dropped UTW and even my own Latest Comments with Avatars as it slowed my site down. I also go through regular reviews to remove the ones I don't really need

    Great list Everton, I will definitely check some of the plugins that I have never used, thanks for sharing.
  • Alpesh Nakar · 2 years ago
    Thanks Everton.
    How is simple tagging?
    What if i have converted my categories to tags and now want to go back?
    Out of context of this post, I guess.
    Cheers!

    simple tagging is brilliant and much lighter than UTW. It can import exisitng tags so you should be ok e.g. it imported all my old UTW tags

    Yes I did, BTW the Comment+Quicktag link is down.

    About Optimal Title, I'm not sure I see the benefit. In my current template I have the following code for the title:

    <?php if(is_single()){?><?php wp_title();?> |<?php bloginfo('name');?>

    This generates the post title and then the blog name preceded by the '|' symbol without any additional separator or plugin. That I'm aware of wp_title doesn't actually force a separator - that's why you can use it in your post header to display the post title in the loop.

    My bad, that link has been down for years and I should have remembered. If anyone needs it let me know and I'll post it in the forum.

    I used to be the same and I made a manual change myself with Ajay's help. But then I realised that the plugin was doing something clever to my trackbacks and pingbacks to make them friendlier, so I went back to the plugin route. It's definitely a luxury plugin though.

    Admittedly I hadn't taken trackbacks into account - come to think of it I'm not sure how my trackbacks and pingbacks look right now. I'll have to check into it.

    The DoFollow plugin is good, but the Link Love plugin gives you the option of removing the nofollow after a certain number of comments. This way anyone that comments more than once gets the clean link, but those that drive by with just one comment don't. And no, I'm not affiliated with these folks.

    I'm happy you enjoyed our plugin :)

    Everton convinced me to post a quick comment about the feedburner feed replacement plugin. It raised the number of subscribers by roughly 1000 for my blog which was really nice ;) Thanks for the great plugin

    That's an impressive jump and it will help you attract even more subscribers and it will impress potential advertisers. Luckily whatever happened to my feedcount causing it to drop to 600 yesterday has bee fixed and I'm back up to 1300+

    I don't think a lot of people realise what this plugin does unfortunately, otherwise more people would use it.

    Which plugin did you use Everton the box with the Related Post. Most Read Post and Trackback. Nice helpful list but just didnt seem to see the one you are using on your site
  • Everton · 2 years ago
    it's not a plugin it's part of my theme.
    If you want to have a go at incorporating the tabs yourself then here are some good instructions.
  • Sharon · 2 years ago
    I am already using your them so i guess its something you havent incoperated yet in the them. I have very basic html or coding knowledge i dont think I will be able to manually configure it myself
  • Everton · 2 years ago
    it's in the theme as long as you are using any version other than the first one (0.9) What you need to do is put the tabber.js file that is part of the download in the root directory of your blog and the tabs will magically appear
  • Sharon · 2 years ago
    Thanks a lot everton. I have just added that and it looks really cool and not cluttered as it was. i am really in love with your theme. May just change my other 2 blogs to your theme.

    Why don't you try the searchmeter plugin? It's incredible!
  • Everton · 2 years ago
    I used Searchmeter for a while when I used the WP search function, but I use Google now.
  • Marco Richter · 2 years ago
    Great list. I have collected an A-Z-List of WP Plugins on my post, maybe this might interest you.
  • Ashish · 2 years ago
    well a nice collection of very useful wp plugins .. keep it up bro ..

    Wow, I can't believe how many resources you give away at this site. These plugins all look excellent – I'm definitely going to be checking them all out. Wordpress is a brilliant piece of software, in my opinion, much better than what others offer you. The fact that we can do much with it is simply excellent – and I'm only just getting into this, but it looks like a seriously major bit of fun. Social bookmarking is great too, only just got into it, but it's excellent. I think if Google went down for a day, I wouldn't be perturbed – as I use a lot of my social bookmarking sites to do searches instead of Google.

    The versatility of WordPress due to them being open source has ereally given them the bulk of the CMS / Blogging market. Thanks for a fine list of Plugins. Am new to your blog and very interested to see what you're up to, and have been up to. Keep up the good work.
