Disk Usage

Sure, you can check your disk usage by logging into your host, but this is neat–check from your WordPress! It will show you the disk usage for all the folders in the folder your WordPress is installed in. For instance, I have WordPress installed in my root (www.allanne.com), so it checked the usage of alllll the folders in there, which is handy! Easy installation (I’m into easy!)–upload, activate, done!

Admin Menu

A plugin that will add a toolbar to the top of your blog with links to key places in your admin. Handy, but I think if you aren’t logged in, it shouldn’t put a bar up there anyway. Also, if you’re gonna use it, be sure to have it installed before you code your template, as it does mess with the CSS a bit. Useful, if it’s something you want! I give it a 3/5 because it did some strange, unexpected things to my header besides just moving it down.

External Links

The external links plugin for WordPress lets you process outgoing links differently from internal links, by adding a little arrow beside all outgoing links in your posts, like this: Test link . (Original arrow was more of the default-link blue; I changed mine to match my color scheme a little better.) Very easy–upload, activate, done. If you want to change the color of the arrow, just edit the image and upload. I don’t think I’ll keep it, personally, but it’s very nice!
