Here are this weeks newest WordPress plugins. Have a look and let me know if you are using them or trying them out.
BP Paginated Posts
If you’re using BuddyPress and displaying site wide posts, this plugin is a necessary replacement for the one that comes packaged with BuddyPress. The widget options include title, posts per page, and previous and next link titles.

WP-Drag2Share
Is a simple tool to share a post easily by drag and drop, this plugin supports social networks like Twitter, Delicious and Facebook.

Custom Login Page
With the Custom Login Page, you can change the background image of your login page, the background image/colo of your login form div, the main logo image of your login page, and add custom CSS. All through a simple interface. Remember to view the Help tab at the top of the settings page for the plugin.
WordPress Plugin - Custom Login Page
TwitterPad
Is an automatic RSS-to-page plugin designed to integrate with twitter. This plugin allows the user to add a number of custom search strings from search.twitter.com specifying which page new tweets should be added to. For example, using ‘from:{yourtwittername} #tp’ I can collect all of my tweets which have been tagged #tp.
You are also not just limited to collecting your own tweets, any search string will work. The plugin was designed to automatically collect tweets I wanted to save for future reference (a tweet pad) and the page you collect tweets to doesn’t have to be public. The plugin allows you to update any page in your blog, even if it is private.
UnShorten
When you use tweets in your blog, you will probably have loads of shortened urls like me – bit.ly, su.pr is.gd… But your blog readers would probably rather see the real address. Me too. While this feature is integrated in loads of twitter clients, it’s not yet in Wordpress.
Oh, hold on, now it is! UnShorten will look at any link that has the link text the same as the URL and will try to expand the URL. The hyperlink URL will stay the same but the link text will change to the real, un-shortened link.
MightyReach for WordPress
Displays your Feedburner and Twitter stats on your dashboard.
eCSStender
This plugin uses the eCSStender javascript Library. This library is a parser that takes your CSS after the browser. The library re-interprets the css using the plugins and adds new abilities to the browsers.
You can for example add CSS3 Selectors support to IE6. It will be less a Pain to develop a theme for IE6 or other browsers now.
Final Thought
I hope you enjoyed this weeks plugins and that you maybe try a few out. I would like to know any feedback you have concerning these plugins.

I didnt know about this new plug in, will try to make use of it and give a small review.
@priscus – which plugin are you talking about as there are 7 listed? I’m curious now as to which one you are talking about
I think I don’t mind to install twitterpad. But do we really need custom design for a login page?
InternetHow Blog´s last blog ..Competition: Free Advertisement For Top Commentators
@InternetHow Blog – I do understand why you are asking. The simple answer and the only one for me is to make it look more professional and unique. I would mainly think that membership sites would use this, but anyone could.
If they know a bit off CSS and PHP, they could also include details on the page. The results are endless if you ask me.
I like Drag2Share. I have seen a like of this (or may be the same)on Techcrunch. Are you planning to use this on your site?

Could you please come to my house and do all that stuff to my blog for me??
I’ll pay you in steak and wine.
You’re not vegetarian or a tea-totler, are you?
Well, maybe I could get my feet wet with the Twitter Pad thing.
But first I’m off to see how to raise my Alexa rank, get more links and such. Wish me great luck!
