iThemes is launching an outstanding program designed for educators, “focusing on delivering high-quality web design tools and training to the education community.” To get the ball rolling, they’re asking for only 100 qualified educators to apply before October 1st. Those who are accepted into the beta run will receive over 150 high-quality themes, over 20 plugins, 300 hours of professional training, and more as the year continues.

Building on the discussion from “Do You Really Need All Of Those Plugins?” I’d love to ask what is the one plugin that your blog can’t live without? There are many plugins out there for WordPress, and many of us use an excessive number of them, but there has to be one that you favor above them all. To start of the discussion, I’ll say Akismet. That may sounds like a cop-out, since it comes with every copy of WordPress, but without it I’d still be cleaning out the 39,744 spam comments that we’ve received so far this week. So, what’s your favorite plugin?

There has been some interesting discussion on how many plugins you should use on your WordPress blog, and whether that number contributes to any problems along the way. The fact of the matter is, it’s really hard to say. In most situations, using an excessive amount of plugins won’t cause any problems, but plugins use memory when they run, and shared hosting provider love to limit the memory that you can consume at any given moment. If you’re running into memory errors, there are a few things that you can try, but you should probably consider using less plugins or moving to a better host. Outside of hosting limitations, the number of plugins doesn’t play much of a role. We use 36 plugins here, and I have worked on a blog before that used 82, both without issue. If you’re running into other errors, that’s more than likely just one […]
