Taking a look at the plugins I have currently installed:
Which plugins are you using?
Favorite – gosh there is sooo many hard to have just one favorite. I have learned that I will take what everyone shares with me and at least try it out – if I don’t like it I can always deactivate it and delete it. But if I try it — I might just really like it.
Sign into your WordPress.org site and you will be taken to your dashboard.
Look in the left column about half way down for a image that looks like a plug-in end and the words Plugins. Hover over the word Plugins and in the upper right corner you will see a down arrow. Click on the down arrow to reveal menu options >> Installed >> Add New >> Editor >> Akismet Configuration.
At this point we want to Add a plugin so click Add New. Next you will want to search for the plugin to install it. Once you find the plugin click Install which is in the right column. The wordpress.org platform is amazing… it will install your plugin and then you just have to click Activate when you are ready to start using it.
Staci’s helpful tip: REMEMBER to check your website at least monthly for any plugins that need to be updated. I usually check weekly after my website is backed up. *HINT: That is another plugin that I use. It send me an email that my site was backed up. And I get a file that I can use if I ever would need to restore my site. Imagine how many posts I have in my blog – and if I lost everything – OH MY GOSH – right!?! Have to have things in place and thank god for plugins and great hosting service.
A few plugins that I really like and use:
- All-in-One SEO Pack
- Google Sitemap Generator
- Sociable or Sexy Bookmarks
- Ping Optimizer
- Akismet
- Database Backup
- Simple CAPTCHA
Permalink Migrator
Sometimes I am not able to recreate a strong password with what I have around me – such as a child’s name, date of birth, anniversary date, etc.
To help me with that I installed a plugin that also includes a password generator. So when I need a new password that is a STRONG password – I just sign in to my WordPress dashboard and go right to the plugin and click for a new STRONG password and then I copy it out of wordpress and paste it into the sign up form to become my new password with that site. Easy peasy Right!!
What makes life even better is ROBOFORM. Do you use ROBOFORM? If you need it or want to know more – check out this blog post I did.
Have a great day!
Definitely try out the plug-in – but honestly I am not a fan. Tried it with my tags – with my categories and with both.
It’s REMOVED.
How about you?
Reviewing through WebsiteMagazine.com and looking at page 9 of the February 2010 article, “WordPress Plugins To Rock The Party” … I just have to share this with you. Plugins – I sure love using Plugins on my website. There is so many out there I know I have just began using some of the coolest ones – but always looking for the best of the best!
Peter Prestipino, Editor-in-Chief mentions:
WP-Cumulus – he explains this as a 3D rotating your tags, categories or both.
Sexy Bookmarks – Share this with the world by using sexy bookmarks
ExplanatoryDictionary – great way to provide users with information without overwhelming them with click here for this and click here for that
Custom Login Page – change the background image of your login page, the background image and color of your login form, the main image of your login page and even add custom CSS
SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam – Just a must for additional anti-spam component
Also I would advise you to visit your dashboard of your site and click on Add New under the Plugins menu and search for each of these so you are obtaining the most up-to-date plugin!
Best of luck!

I went ahead and added the CommentLuv plugin to my wordpress blog.

WOOT! WOOT!
