Next up on the “Five” series is a sampling of 5 comment related plugins from the WordPress Plugin Directory.  There are 395 plugins as of today that are tagged with the term comment to choose from. Comments are the lifeblood of any website.  That is where the true interaction happens not only between the creator of the website and visitors but also between the visitors themselves of a website. So I dug through the WordPress plugin directory and came up with what I believe are five plugins to help increase the interaction on your website: SI CAPTCHA for WordPress: This plugin gives you an anti-spam measure on your comment form to help reduce the number of SPAM comments your website receives.  Now don’t get me wrong – ASKIMET does a terrific job of stopping SPAM comments (according to their website 82% of all comments are SPAM).  Well this plugin requires […]

Funny how things can get connected quite quickly on the web.  Check this out. I wrote a blog entry for WLTC just two days ago about Five Nifty Sidebar Widgets for your WordPress Site.  Babs then commented on that post and said: Out of curiosity, does anyone know how many plugins it takes to break a WordPress site? *laughs* This comment then prompted Mark from here at WLTC to write a blog entry asking visitors to Guess how many Plugins we have active on the website and comment on how many active and inactive plugins they have on their own websites.  This is a small contest that will earn the correct guesser a one year Flickr Pro membership. It is a very active thread right now (78 replies as of this posting). So as I am watching the guesses stream in over the last 24 hours or so it reminded […]

Can you say that title five times very fast? 🙂 In my last post I discussed WordPress plugins that can spruce up your WordPress based website. What I would like to do in this one is point out five sidebar widgets that you can put to use in your own sidebar to expand its capabilities and add additional functionality to your site for your visitors. -  Sidebar Login: This plugin is not only a widget that you can drag onto your sidebar in the admin interface but also provides a template tag that you can use anywhere in your site to show a login box.  Once your visitor logs in via this form they will be returned to the page they signed in from instead of into the admin panel (unless they are an admin then they log into the admin interface). Not logged in Logged in as Admin -  […]
