Good morning everyone. Here are the latest and greatest (as well as updated) WordPress plugins.

New Plugins

CMS Tree Page View
Inserts a menu heading under Pages in the backend where you can see a tree-like view of your pages ala Windows Explorer.

Simple Fields
Replace the WordPress default custom fields with your own such as textareas, check boxes, radio buttons, files etc. Requires WordPress 3.0 to function. (has been tested on WordPress 3.0 RC 1)

Content Audit
Create a content inventory where you can mark content as redundant, outdated, trivial, or in need of a review for SEO or style. Requires WordPress 3.0 to function.

Contemplate
Insert custom content in posts, pages, widgets, and comments via a shortcode. Handy for managing commonly used blocks of content.

DynamicWP Image Cube
Show off your images as an animated cube.

Updated Plugins

Author Exposed
Displays author info in a cool pop-up.

SEO Ultimate
All-in-one SEO plugin that lets you set title tags, meta, no index/nofollow, canonicalization, 404s, slugs, autolinks, and more.

Table of Contents Creator
Not just another sitemap plugin. Sort results by Menu Order, Alphabetically, Post Date or Author. Show only titles or include a short excerpt. Comes with a choice of 5 different icon sets or choose to not display icons at all.

Author exposed looks promising

Normally I detest pop-ups but this one is kind of cool. Also, it has to been activated by actually clicking a link and not by merely hovering over it – which is also cool.

I have used the SEO Ultimate plugin and it is great! It’s a must have for any wordpress blog owner. The ToC creator plugin looks interesting. Going to give that a shot per your recommendation.

Heh, I’m not actually recommending anything. I’m merely putting the info out there. 🙂

Nice list!

By the way, which is better? All-in-One SEO pack, SEO Master, or this SEO ultimate?

I had a bad experience with All-in-One SEO pack.

Great question. Unfortunately, because I don’t use caching, I don’t have a great answer. Perhaps some of our readers can weigh in on this one.

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but I tried looking everywhere and could not find the answer.

Do you know of a plugin/tool to import from WP into LiveJournal.
I have few fragmented blogs that I would like to consolidate?

Thanks a bunch!

I did a bit of research but unfortunately couldn’t find any documentation on moving from WordPress to LiveJournal. The closest thing I could find are some plugins that crosspost.

Link.

First time I heard about Author Exposed and it definitely sounds cool. Maybe I’ll use it for my other sites.

I’m currently using Platinum Seo, but I’ll give Seo Ultimate a shot on another blog I own.

Thnx for updating these plugins

The ultimate plug-in search engine optimization is great!

I have used All in One SEO and it is working fine for me.
But now need test SEO ultimate, maybe it’s better.

I’ve also had good experience with the SEO Ultimate plugin and recommend it. It didn’t break my site or anything. Look forward to checking out Author Exposed.
