Standard WordPress Plugins
Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!
Over the last few weeks I’ve been working a lot with WordPress. Between a new job I started, Freelancing the Net, and converting Manifest Development over to WordPress (more on that later), I’ve set up or worked on between 6-10 blogs in the last 2 weeks. Over that time I’ve compiled a list of WordPress plugins I’ve used for all of them:
- All-in-One SEO Pack: Some helpful things to make your blog a little more search engine friendly
- CformsII: Add robust form creation and processing to your blog.
- Google Sitemap Generator: Another SEO oriented one
- Twitter Tools: Adds new posts to Twitter, ability to create Tweet “digests” on your blog
- iBox or Lightbox: It’s all about useability here.
- Yet Another Related Posts Plugin: Shows users reading your post what other similar content you’ve got on your blog.
I will also be working on two plugins of my own this week. Maybe if I deem them good enough, I’ll release them here.
