   I like having a site index. This is what it looks like:

   Well, I have some plugins I love and are somewhat unique A grent email obfsucator, add titles to plugins, unicornify, etc.

   I love DomainMirror, but it’s very outdated and doesn’t support a bunch of WP functions. I plan forking it and adding many improvements, but I’m not having much time

   Widget Logic: great plugin for contextual widgets. I us it.
   SEO Friendly Images: I managed a blog with multiple, careless authors: will try it.
   Domain Mirror: this plugin was quoted by Global Voices http://advocacy.globalvoiceson.....ress-blog/
   Headspace2: used it in the past. Good for finding automatic tags, but it clutters the “Manage Posts” page with estra tag info. deactivated since.

   And of course there’s Greg’s High Performance SEO, if you’d like both lots of control and efficient coding…

   All the best,

   Widget Logic should definitely get more shine. I was looking for something like this for awhile, and my searches came up inadequate. I finally had to consult a Thesis forum, which finally led me to Widget Logic. Great plug-in.

     I’ve been looking for something like widget logic for ages, this is so cool! I notice alot of times, I don’t even like the sidebar at all on certain pages, like if I create a new page, I don’t like the sidebar to show up at all on that new page, this allows me to do that, very cool indeed!

   I love these plugins:
   1. WP Minify (combine and compress JS and CSS files to improve load time).

   2. WP HTTP Compression (output pages in gzip format to reduce size of pages and increase download speeds).

   3. Broken Links Checker (checks blog posts, links roll, and comments for broken/redirected links and images and notifies you if any are found).

     the only thing I wonder about using gzip and other compression programs, is how does that effect shoutboxes and other ajax content that directly communicates with the server? does it stop those things from functioning?

   This is a totally new post I’ve come across. And I agree some plugins are not really getting much notice as they’re suppose to.

   I never thought Headspace2 would be underrated. I’m installing it on all clients’ websites as well as my own by default and I think it’s much better than that…that famous SEO plugin with too many options a more experienced user can set by hand.

   Really great stuff. I could def use the image widget. I haven’t quite figured out how much it affects SEO, but always worth a shot and every little bit helps.

     Well, if not for SEO (and I do think it helps), then do it for accessibility =)

    Indeed, these are not that known. I was only aware of SEO friendly images, but had to remove it for a previous blog of mine, after some incompatibility issues (that was some time ago).

    Trying to keep plugins to a minimum for speed of loading, but I am tempted to go with SEO Friendly Images. It seems like it might save a lot of work. Thanks for the heads up.
