Thank you for sharing these new wordpress plugin. I’m looking for a plugin that can features my popular posts with random photos like on John chow’s website… any idea where to find it?
.-= Benjamin Cip´s last blog ..How To Increase Your Blog Traffic =-.
Giving total authority to the user to shift between theme sounds to be a good idea! It will give better customization options to the end-users. I will use this plugin in near future!
@Tech-Freak Stuff – it sounds awesome, hope it will get better and better and let the users take control.
Another excellent week of Wordpress Plugins, this reminds me that I really need to update my guests on what plugin changes I have made over the past few weeks.
@Extreme John – sounds interesting. My plugins stand at 25 and I need to keep it lower if possible. Would like to know what you have under the HOOD
I tried Advanced Most Recent Posts but it’s not working properly for me.. as some part of the title of the post is coming below the image and it’s acquiring lot of space.. I tried adjusting the excerpt length but still it’s not working.
.-= Nehh´s last blog ..Megan Fox clamis she has schizophrenia =-.
@Nehh – sorry to hear that, sounds like this weeks plugins I chose are not to good.
No worries George, but keep them coming
.-= Nehh´s last blog ..Lindsay Lohan offered $900,000 to pose naked for Playboy =-.
I like the “Advanced Most Recent Posts” plugin, I can imagine the results George! Thanks a lot for the great list of plugins, I love this post!
.-= Hesham´s last blog ..How to add Thumbnails and links to WP-polls Plugin Voting System? =-.
@Hesham – thanks man, I slacked down the last week or so and did not post about WP plugins, but I’m back on board now.
Ever since I used Wp-SuperCache, I said goodbye to those “dynamic” plug-ins such as popular posts, etc
I guess it’s a price that I must pay to make my hosting happy
.-= Michael Aulia´s last blog ..Happy Birthday, Google Chrome =-.
@Michael – I have Super Cache and then some of Rob Marsh’s plugins for recent comments, recent posts and popular posts. I like the way we can style them.
Nice sharing dude. Gonna try some of these.
