WP Wall

Certainly better looking than a cbox, WP Wall is faster, too, using Ajax. Click the “Leave a Reply” link (or customize it to say what you want), and the reply box pops down, allowing visitors to comment on your site as a whole, somewhat like a guestbook, again, only faster. Personally, I don’t have a use for it, but it’s a fun little widget.
Likes: The speed was nice. It’s also nice to have complete control over it, unlike a cbox.
Dislikes: It isn’t made known in the beginning that you need to either 1. approve each comment, or 2. allow people to use their email address (changed in the settings). If you use the email address thing, it approves by email address.

FLIR for WordPress

This simple plugin replaces the text of your choice (whether in h1 tags, h2, h3…a div…you name it!) with an image in the font of your choice…saying what you wanted it to say. For instance, if I had it change all my h2’s, the title of this whole post would be in the font of my choosing. As an image, yes, but in the font I want. I’m not sure how that goes for SEO, but oh well. It’s very simple, considering some of the stuff I’ve tried to implement over the years to get the same effect!

PicApp

Need a stock photo image in your post? How about one that’s legal? Here you go: insert a free, legal, stock image into your post, directly from the New Post page. Handy! Search right from your own admin, insert the picture, and you’re done. Note: All photos come from the site picapp.com and I don’t know if they have bad pictures or not. Search at your discretion.
