My WordPress Plugin

I’m no wordpress plugin author so when I say my wordpress plugin, I’m not talking about plugins that I wrote for wordpress blog but more of the plugins that I have in my blog which I find useful and like to share with anyone who’s curious. Links to the respective plugins are also included so you could also download the plugins for yourself.

Just a quick note for those that’s not sure how to install the plugin, just download, use your fav. FTP program (I uses FileZilla that ShaolinTiger recommended to me) and upload it into your plugin folder (…/wp-content/plugins) and then activate it through your wordpress admin (…/wp-admin/plugins.php). Just look for this icon if you’re not sure what I’m talking about.

Akismet: http://akismet.com/

Automattic Kismet (Akismet for short) is a collaborative effort to make comment and trackback spam a non-issue and restore innocence to blogging. It isn’t 100% foolproof but for what it was designed to do, it still produce good work to keep spam away from my blog. It’s intuitive enough to mark some comments into a spam folder just in case the comment isn’t really a spam so I could look at it and approve it or permanently delete it at my own convenience.

CommentLuv: http://www.commentluv.com/

CommentLuv enabled me to reward my blog readers by leaving a link to their latest post automatically whenever they comment thus encouraging more comments by more people on more posts! It definitely helped me to increase traffic to my site as well to the people who comments on mine. Only Relax find problem with it on my blog as commentluv wouldn’t recognize his link, aside from that, most commentors that commented on my blog have their link posted unless they opt not to. So do drop me some comments and see your link posted here to encourage others to visit your blog as well. At the end of the day, it’s a win-win situation which is healthy in promoting one another. Right?
