Wordpress

Plugins are arguably the best thing about Wordpress software. Here is the official repository of plugins. Writing plugins take a lot of work and I really appreciate all the people out there messing with code so that I don’t have to. I know a lot of them do it in their free time and not as a full-time job– for that I am grateful. I would like to give credit where credit is due. You didn’t think I coded everything on sockparade, did you?!

Here is a list of the plugins I use here on sockparade:

. AjaxBerlee 1.3a — This one’s not a plugin, it’s the theme I use. It was written by the coolest guy in the Netherlands, Nico. He’s brilliant and has been extremely patient with my endless questions and requests. Thanks Nico!

. Akismet — Checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. (by Matt Mullenweg)

. AutoViewer — Lets you display a linear sequence of images and captions using a slick flash layout. (by Felix Turner)

. Get Recent Comments — Displays the most recent comments or trackbacks with your own formatting in the sidebar. (by Krischan Jodies)

. Miniblog — Allows miniature blogs, links, notes, asides, or whatever to be created. (by Joe)

. Snap Preview Anywhere Plugin — Displays a popup preview of external links. (by Ajay D’Souza)

. Subscribe Me — Displays a tile with subscribe buttons. (by Denis de Bernardy)

. Share This — Lets your visitors share your posts/pages with others. Supports e-mail and posting to social bookmarking sites like del.icio.us, Furl and Digg. (by Alex King)

. WordPress Database Backup — Allows users to schedule automatic database backups for just about any conceivable frequency. (by Skippy, managed by Austin Matzko)

. WordPress — WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. What a mouthful. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.
