My top WordPress plug-ins
After secretly messing around with WordPress on one of my servers, I decided to move my blog to an instance of it permanently. Being a very flexible and extensible CMS, I've been researching some plug-ins for it. So far, I've come up with this list.
- Akismet - helps block spam (and it's really good at it too). Needs an API key that's obtainable from WordPress. Plus, it's free for personal use.
- Maintenance mode - adds a maintenance splash page. When activated only authenticated users and admins will be able to browse the site.
- Search meter - keeps track of what visitors are searching for
- Feedburner Feedsmith - redirects all RSS and ATOM feeds to a feedburner RSS feed instead
- Sociable - Adds links to Digg, De.li.cio.us, Stumble-upon and other sites for you
- WP-Cache 2.0 - A really efficient page caching system and effectively makes your site faster and more responsive
- WP-PageNavi - Adds a more advanced page navigation to the bottom of pages
- Subscribe to Comments - Allows users to get e-mail notifications for any subsequent comments made
- Smilies Themer - an easy way to change the default smilies pack
- Google Analytics for WordPress - You could just add the script, but this makes it easier.
- WP-Syntax - Add syntax highlighting to code-snippets (supports many languages)
