Acronym Replacer

This is a great plugin; I just don’t use it anymore because I realized I don’t really use acronyms very much on my blog! This plugin wraps acronyms (defined in the plugin file) with the acronym tag <acronym title="by the way">btw</acronym>. Works great, IF you like editing your plugins. Customization is done through the Plugins > Edit Plugins.

Brian’s Threaded Comments

This was the only threaded comments plugin I found. If I remember correctly, it was a little difficult to install. I didn’t like it that I had to replace my comments.php file, because as you can probably tell I edited mine! Likes: Threaded comments. When deactivated, degrades nicely. Dislikes: Even if I’m logged in, I had to enter my information which got VERY TIRESOME (that’s why I quit using it).

cForms II

Comment form. In a word: Awesome. Allows multiple contact forms with as many inputs as you need. Also has sectioning, so you can have different sections of your contact form. Comes stock with a bunch of style options (stylesheets), and is easily edited if you know CSS. The only (small) complaint I have about it is it said the credit line can be edited out, but the only way to edit it out is CSS. It’s not a huge deal, though!

No Self Pings

Handy, drop-and-forget-it plugin for not pinging your own blog! Good grief, why do *I* need to be informed I’m linking to one of my own pages?? Yeah. Pretty simple!

I’ve decided to review plugins I test, since I try so many.

Star Rating

First off, I have Star Rating, the review plugin I’m currently using for star rating! It’s exactly what I wanted. Extremely easy to use (especially after fiddling with WP Review Stuff and one I couldn’t even get to work–the URL/name slips my mind), it displays very nice images that will work for probably anyone (yes, I’m using the default images) and is very well documented.

One Click

This is two things, a plugin, and a Firefox extension. The plugin can probably be used stand-alone (but if you have Firefox, by all means use the extension!). The Plugin: With the plugin, you can delete plugins from your server from your administration, which is very handy if you don’t want to or can’t bring up an FTP client! The Extension: Working in conjunction with the plugin, you right-click a .zip file, hover over One-Click Install, choose whether you want to install a plugin or theme, then it’ll download and unzip it on your server in the proper place. Then takes you to your admin (the one-click page, actually, then you have to go to your plugin page–the only gripe I have…I think it’d be better if it went directly to the Plugins page), where you can then activate the plugin. Awesome overall!
