WordPress Plugins

If not long ago wrote a post with wearing extensions for Firefox 3 today I will do the same, but with the plugins I use for WordPress .

And as I said in the post Firefox extensions, WordPress plugins also have numerous depending on what we need, some very useful, and more curious than anything else, so I'll focus on those who currently use.

In principle they are functional for version 2.5 of WordPress, and that I go all and is the version I use, so you should have no problems if you use this version.

If you want any concrete that is not on this list, you can always search the WordPress Plugins page among all there is, which are few.

And now let's see the list of plugins I use, first saying that I am not very extensive in their use, installation, operation, etc, because otherwise it would be endless, and perhaps some plugins do not need to use them as the Theme use in your blog, because now some of them already have some functions that I perform using plugins built right into the Theme:

• Akismet : The Anti-Spam plugin for WordPress excellence and absolutely necessary to forget the spam in your blog. But I'm wrong, is now installed by default in versions of WordPress, but need to obtain an API Key for WordPress to use it, which is not very complicated to do.
• Share This : This plugin performs arguably diffusion of the post in your blog, as it allows a reader, if a post has been interesting, send it to the most common social networking Internet, or the possibility of sending Post someone e-mail, among other things.

  You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog at the end of each post, whether on the home page or on the individual post, represented by the following icon:

  

Currently there are several newer versions of this plugin, but I use the 1.4 that I like better than today.

• Dagon Design Sitemap Generator : This plugin allows you to create a Sitemap of your blog so that on one page (or several if you have many entries) can be written every post, pages, categories, etc, as a list.

  List is updated automatically with each new entry, logically, making your visitors can see all the entries and reader followed by search engines.

  You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog tab: Site Map .

• Contact Form : This simple but effective plugin, you can put in an easy and simple contact form on my blog so your readers can contact you.

  You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog tab in the Contact .

• Google XML Sitemaps : This plugin creates a sitemap of your site in XML format for example then you can go to Google Webmaster Tools and to facilitate the indexing of the pages of your blog by Google.
• Gravatar : I think this plugin may be somewhat outdated, because nowadays many themes incorporate Gravatar by default, but it is the case, this plugin will allow you to implement it in your blog, so that readers who already use Gravatar may put its image in the comments, or you can choose a default image for readers who do not use it.

  You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog Post have any comments, such as this .

  Those who have left comments and use your Gravatar icon leaves, and those who do not leave them a default globe.

• Popularity Contest : With this plugin you will know which are the most popular post of your blog in terms of parameters previously configured according to the size you want to take the assessment (Reviews, Visits to the home page, by category, Trackbacks, pingbacks, etc).

  You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog in the sidebar of the blog as seen in the image below:

  
• Real Fast Latest Comments : This simple but effective plugin to display recent comments left on your blog.

  You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog in the sidebar, as shown in the following image:

  
• Subscribe to comments : This plugin provides an opportunity for someone to leave a comment on an entry, to receive future responses and / or comments on this entry via e-mail.

  You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog on the check box that comes immediately after the button "Submit Comment" to write a comment as shown in the image below:

  
• WordPress Database Backup : Because you never know when disaster strikes can occur, at least not get caught off guard. This plugin sends you daily via e-mail a copy of the database of your blog, better safe than sorry, .
• WP-Pager : This plugin can show a slightly more orderly and structured the number of pages and post to your blog, that the usual "next entries" or "previous entries", both generally on the main page, and the number of entries that comprise a given category if it is to navigate through specific categories. A plugin that I personally like it.

  You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog in the bottom of the blog as seen in the image below:

  
• WP 2.3 Related Posts : Another interesting plugin through the function of tags or labels WordPress version 2.5 allows you to show your readers or post other entries that relate to a particular post, and can be configured to display random entries if absence related post.

  In principle I use the tag system of WordPress itself, idk if using other plugins to manage tags also works or not, just as it is interesting to have a more or less fixed tags in the post common categories facilitate their relationship.

  You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog to click on the title of a post to enter the single page of it. For example, as shown in the image, in the Post on extensions of Firefox 3 here are the tips that shows related posts:

  

Well, I think this is it, , Which is something, I hope you have found interesting here, and remember again that this is just a small selection and you can find many more plugins in the WordPress plugins page and a few plugins that are not unique, ie that there may be other plugins that perform the same function, even in a better way, but I, these are the use.

And you, Do you use any other plugin worth being named?, You can say in the comments.

Be happy
