SEO Title Tag is a plugin for WordPress that allows you to optimize your WordPress blog’s Title tags in ways not supported by the default WordPress installation. This plugin is one of my favorite WordPress Plugins as it let me do things that I have wanted to do for some time like…
Edit N Place is an Ajax powered plugin for WordPress that lets you edit your post without going in to the WordPress Admin panel. That’s right, using this plugin you can edit your posts from the homepage and single pages just by clicking an ‘Edit n Place’ link at the bottom of every post.
The plugin includes all the quicktag buttons you need like bold, italics, link, and img. And if you have tagging plugins like Ultimate Tag Warrior installed you can edit them too.
Multi-Page is a plugin for WordPress that enables you to write a single post over several pages. This plugin is useful when you want to write a series of posts on a topic.
WordPress in recent versions (1.5 and above) does not provide any visible buttons to support multiple pages even though it supports the functionality internally. This plugins enables you to easily break your WordPress article into multiple pages. It works for both WYSIWYG as well as text mode.
Check this post to get an idea on how the plugin works.
Installation of the Plugin is easy, all you have to do is upload the multipage directory to your wp-content/plugins directory and then activate it from your Admin Panel.
After activating the plugin, click on the Page button in quicktags menu or the graphical icon 
whenever you want to insert page break in your post.
I have been having problems with long URL’s left by commentators that break my site design. So I did a quick Google search and found this cool WordPress Plugin that does the job perfectly.
WP-Chunk is a plugin for WordPress that automatically shortens URLs within comments so they don’t break your site design. This prevents most sites using fixed width from being broken when a long url is included in a comment.
For Example, it will turn long URL’s like
http://www.example.com/development/wordpress/wordpress-theme
to this
http://www.example.com/……..wordpress-theme
It’s a simple plugin that does the job well.
My blog posts have been reblogged a few times in Splogs in the past and that too directly from my feeds. After switching to partial feeds, I never faced this problem until recently a few splogs like http://weblog-pla.net have started it again. This raised my curosity as to how they do this and that too automated.
After Googling for some time, I found two WordPress Plugins that these spammers use- Autoblog and FeedWordPress.
These are plugins that let you automatically post to your WordPress blog from an RSS, ATOM, or other XML feeds. You can preserve categories, give proper author attribution, do find and replace, caching, and publish in excerpts or full feeds! These plugins are dangerous as it can be used by Spammers to easily push high paying keywords into their blogs.
Posts are made automatically from other blog feeds and Adsense ads are placed on the splog too. After selecting a few blog feeds all that’s left for these spammers to do is collecting the money earned through Ads.
Here are some of the features of these plugins
Note: I highly recommend that you do not use these WordPress Plugins. Earning money through these methods is not safe and can get you banned by the Adsense team.
WP-phpMyAdmin is a plugin for WordPress that let’s you have access to phpMyAdmin from the Admin console in WordPress.
It is a very simple plugin to use. Follow the instructions for installing it and away you go! You don’t even have to go through the trouble of going through their setup script or creating their config file. Everything has been done for you and the settings from your WordPress setup will be passed over.
Some of the features have been removed or changed slightly for things to work and to maintain security. However you’ll find that most of the things you are used to are still available. Due to the changes that I made, you will only be able to access the phpMyAdmin console from within your WordPress admin console. Trying to link directly will bomb!
I am sure this will be a useful plugin for those who regularly access phpMyAdmin.
Christine Davis has fixed a few bugs and released a new version of the Ultimate Tag Warrior (UTW). For those of you not familiar to UTW, it is a tagging plugin for WordPress designed to increase the functions for tagging posts and expanding site navigation through the creation of lists of tags.
UTW also provides ways of getting an overview of your tags through tag clouds and graphic representation such as a long tail graph and weighted bar arrangement. UTW can also be coaxed into linking to other tag-savvy websites such as del.icio.us, Flickr and Technorati.
I have put up the Technorati tags on this site using this plugin. Also check out my archives to see it’s Tag Cloud in action.
Quoter is a plugin for WordPress that allows users to quote a comment or a post in their comments just like in Forums. This plugin has been recently supported in K2 and I am beginning to see more and more blogs using it.
Comments can be quoted by clicking a link which pastes them in the comment form. You can also quote a post or any other part of text in a page, by selecting it and clicking a link.
Note: The plugin requires WordPress 2.0 or higher to work properly
The three functions that you have to add are quoter_comment(), quoter_comment_server() and quoter_page().
More info on each of the function can be found in the Plugin’s homepage.
wbQuiz is a WordPress plugin that gives you the ability to add a Quiz to your site. It was recently tested by Darren Rowse to conduct a quiz on ‘Are you a Problogger?’
Installation is easy too. Just download and unzip plugin to your /wp-content/plugins directory and then activate wbQuiz from your Admin panel.
