Since I design custom blogs for my clients, I have to keep a lookout for plugins that can achieve any effect under the sun. Following is a list of some of the most used plugins:
Akismet: This plug-in helps you in stopping comment spam. It also keeps note of comments you mark as spam for future blocking. This is a part of your Wordpress download. You need to install and set it up, though.
Search Everything: This plug-in adds search functionality to include pages, tags, attachments, drafts, comments, excerpts and custom fields. It also lets you exclude categories and posts from search.
WP-Contact-Form: Give your visitors the option of contacting you via a simple form. The modified version of this plugin comes with a very useful Spam Protection option. See an example
Add This: Social Bookmarks allow your visitors to easily submit your posts to social bookmarking sites. Many plugins are available for this purpose including Social Bookmarks, Gregarious and Sociable. I just recently found Add This and although it adds a link to their site, it is less intrusive and less cluttered than the others. You can see the result at the end of this post.
Feb 17th -- @LiquidWeb It seems to be back. Phew! What happened?
Jan 11th -- @malsup I removed the line but that did not work. Downloaded a fresh version from jquery.com and it works with that. Thanks!
Jan 10th -- @malsup The jquery file is the one provided with the Wordpress install. I didn't add anything to it.
Jan 9th -- @malsup Please see link (version 1.3.1) and link (version 1.3.2). Thanks!
Jan 9th -- @malsup That is strange. I tried with 1.3.1 & it worked perfectly meaning the code was fine. I then tried with 1.3.2 and it stopped working.
Jan 7th -- @malsup Jquery corner demo seems to only work with version 1.3.1 and not the latest version 1.3.2. Any chances of that happening soon?
Sep 18th -- ...advising people to upgrade to Wordpress 2.8.4 asap. Older versions are getting hacked. Believe me - I know! Read more at ErumMunir.com
