Wordpress Plugins Used on this Site

Here is a list of Wordpress plugins used on this site. I try to keep the amount of plugins to a minimum, but some of them are really cool!

Several improvements over WP's default excerpt. The size of the excerpt can be limited using character or word count, and HTML markup is not removed.

Akismet by: Matt Mullenweg
Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. You need a WordPress.com API key to use it. You can review the spam it catches under "Comments." To show off your Akismet stats just put <?php akismet_counter(); ?> in your template. See also: WP Stats plugin.

Popularity Contest by: Crowd Favorite
This will enable ranking of your posts by popularity; using the behavior of your visitors to determine each post's popularity. You set a value (or use the default value) for every post view, comment, etc. and the popularity of your posts is calculated based on those values. Once you have activated the plugin, you can configure the Popularity Values and View Reports. You can also use the included Widgets and Template Tags to display post popularity and lists of popular posts on your blog.

Search Meter by: Bennett McElwee
Keeps track of what your visitors are searching for. After you have activated this plugin, you can check the Search Meter section in the Dashboard to see what your visitors are searching for on your blog.

TTFTitles by: John Leavitt
This plugin provides two new template tags to replace plain text with styled images. This is primarily a reworking of the Image Headlines plugin. Of course, THAT was a reworking of another plugin by Joel Bennett. The main changes over Brian's plugin are (a) a richer admin interface, (b) the ability to predefine multiple image text styles, and (c) using template tags instead of depending on arguments to the_title. Anything that works really well probably came from Brian's code. Anything screwed up is probably my fault.

Twitter Tools by: Alex King
A complete integration between your WordPress blog and Twitter. Bring your tweets into your blog and pass your blog posts to Twitter. Show your tweets in your sidebar, and post tweets from your WordPress admin.
