.-= Atul´s last blog ..Top 10 Bollywood Actresses of 2009 =-.
@Atul – glad you liked it. It still needs some work, but it will have to do for now.
As my blog is about celebs… so images are important… I’m currently using NextGEN Gallery.. but i liked the Flash Album Gallery plugin.. definitely I’ll try this.
.-= Nehh@Celebfickle´s last blog ..Katharine McPhee Blonde =-.
@Nehh – let me know what you think of it. Would love some kind of feedback as to the ease of use and if it works for you.
Is that ‘bookmark plugin’ new or is that something older ? Because I could have sworn it looks familiar. I could be wrong though.
.-= Jason´s last blog ..I hate pop ups… =-.
@Jason – the BeBookmak plugin came out this month only, that’s what I can see at least
Ok, thanks. I was wondering because it seems familiar, at least it looks familiar.
.-= Jason´s last blog ..I hate pop ups… =-.
@Jason – no problem man
Among all the above plugin I like the Wordpress bebbokmark plugin..
Keep coming up with such post, it gives us idea about the new plugin which we have never heard or explored…
.-= Harsh Agrawal´s last blog ..Android powered HTC Magic releases in India =-.
@Harsh – glad to hear. Yes, it shows us whats new and what ideas are coming out.
Hey George,
An internal server error is shown on this post for some images. Just check it.
.-= Tech-Freak Stuff´s last blog ..My Friendship Day gift for all of you. Tech-Freak Stuff turns Do-Follow! =-.
@Tech-Freak Stuff – I had a look and all the images are displayed correctly. Go have another look and let me know if the problem still exists.
Everything is fine now! I suppose, it was because of the tweet button you introduced recently!! the button was net visible and an internal server error was showing up in its place.
.-= Tech-Freak Stuff´s last blog ..My Friendship Day gift for all of you. Tech-Freak Stuff turns Do-Follow! =-.
@Tech-Freak Stuff – thanks for letting me know.
You always get me with this George, I will be looking to add the Twittify without a doubt, it will help tremendously with all of the Twitter friends I link on my Wordpress blog. I am also going to check out the flash gallery, NexGen annoys me.
.-= Extreme John´s last blog ..10 Reasons it Sucks when Twitter Goes Down =-.
@Extreme John – glad to be of help. I thought more people would like the twittify plugin, but you are the first to mention it. As for the flash gallery, nice to know I might have found you an alternate option to your current plugin.
That flash album looks really hot. Thre is certainly no end to the possibilities these creative Wordpress people come up with.
I really really like your blog design, btw, it packs in a lot without having it look cluttered. And the 2/3 image to 1/3 text (of what your blog is about,) header design is very pleasing to my eye. I might veer towards something like that for my blog, in fact if not your whole layout idea. Nice composition. If only I had the time to learn the HTML myself to change it!
And thanks for popping over to my blog! I appreciated it a lot.
.-= Jannie Funster´s last blog ..Funny SEO Keyword Searches, 4 =-.
@Jannie – thanks for the compliment , appreciate it. If you need help then just ask and I will see what I can do for you, no problems at all.
Hey I really liked the Wordpress BeBookmak Plugin. It is really simple and clean. Glad that you put in such efforts…
.-= Compute Live´s last blog ..$99 iPhone 3GS coming soon? =-.
@compute Live – glad to be of help. I try my best to have pictures so you can see exactly what it does or shows. It’s makes it easier to grasp and understand
I might try that Wordpress BeBookmak Plugin. Certainly makes your site/blog looks more professional!
.-= Michael Aulia´s last blog ..Take screenshots easily with WinSnap =-.
@Michael – if you do try it, let me know what you think.
Nice collections mate !
I’m not a plugin freak, but yet will try every plugin available in the directory.. maybe for review purposes also… cheers !
.-= S.Pradeep Kumar´s last blog ..Tips For Writing A Great Blog Post =-.
@Pradeep – if you try a lot and then remove them, remember to make sure their database tables and options are deleted. I have noticed that plugin developers have this option, but others don’t. You need to delete the options otherwise your options table will become huge.
Cool list.
I like plugins because WordPress blog need lot of plugins.At present I am using 35 Plugins to manage my blog.
And you?
.-= S.K Sharma´s last blog ..Indian Independence day Dreamhost web hosting offer =-.
@Sharma – wow, 35 is very high. I currently have 23 now as I installed recent comments, popular posts, recent posts which also needs another plugin called Post-Plugin Library to work.
Although I try my best to have a minimum of plugins to make sure my blog is running faster as too many plugins will eventually put a heavy load on your server. Have a look and see which ones you could live without.
Better Excerpt seems like a great plugin for those who don’t have that feature in their theme already. The rest of the plugins you’ve reviewed are great, but that one really sticks out to me. I wish that plugin existed when I was on my old domain — would have saved me tons of time!
.-= The Gooroo @ iBlogPlanet.com´s last blog ..Autoresponders And Their Importance To Internet Marketing =-.
@Gooroo – you are right about some of the new themes having the expert feature built in. It’s nice to be able to play around with stuff like that.
BTW, I just visited your site and there are blue blocks with numbers on. I tried them and it took me to your ‘iBlogPlanet Comment Marathon — August 2009′ post, is that right? What is your purpose of that? I would like to know, I’m curious now.
Hey George you seem to know your stuff about Wordpress. I’m thinking of creating a plugin of my website (Hiburrito) for Wordpress, but I would like to know a little bit more of who can do it for me and how do I get accepted by Wordpress. Thanks.
.-= Asswass´s last blog ..Asswass and Hiburrito’s Special Blog Directory =-.
– great to know that you want to create a plugin for WordPress. There are many plugin developers who would be able to help you out, do a search on google to find out more.
Thanks George I will sure do.
.-= Asswass´s last blog ..BlogEngage Review: Way cooler than Digg =-.
Those are really great plugins. I need to take a look on some of the plugins. Really interest me =)
.-= blinkky´s last blog ..Make A quiz For Your Blog =-.
@blinkky – glad you liked it, let me know if you try some out. Nice to hear some others opinions
I look forward to this series each week. The twittify plugin looks promising, I might have to install that one. BTW, I just noticed your footer…it looks awesome, your blog design skills continue to amaze me. If/when I switch to Thesis, I will have to see if I can hire you to do some design tweeks for me
.-= Tycoon Blogger´s last blog ..Promote your blog with rsshugger =-.
@Tycoon – thanks for the vote of confidence, but the footer is from Asnio.com. He created it and anyone can download it.
