So, the plugins announced here are not all in the repository?
No, Frank, you won’t find all of them in the repository.
How is a sponsored plugin different from a sponsored theme? the “free” Free Stock Images Plugin is free (to download) but the service it attaches to is not.
Yes, Frank, you’re right. There is no difference.
Perhaps the “SEO Ultimate” should be renamed to “Yet Another SEO Plugin for WordPress.” Eh.
I believe you’re right, Annie, but why do you think so?
Good set of addons, mainly the favicons manager one, thanks.
Well, Nathan, could you take a moment to tell us why you like the favicons manager plugin? As for myself, I can’t stand favicons.
I’ve read the description of that PlaceWidget widget 12 times, and went to the wordpress extend website and read its complete description there too, and STILL don’t understand what PlaceWidget does? I get that its a sidebar widget, a sidebar widget of what? lol
