Plugins and stuff
Ok, I know I’ve been a little lazy and self-indulgent around here in the last couple of days. I’m feeling like shi’ite but I’ll snap out of it after about 100 more hours of sleep.
So anyway, plugins. I’ve been looking around the Wordpress Plugin Competition Blog because basically I’m one of those people who is constantly tweaking my blog. Go check it out, there’s some good stuff there! Here’s a couple of FUN ones for those of us who like eye candy:
Wordpress Guestblock plugin — go see a guestblock in action here. It’s kind of like a guestbook, only MUCH kooler.
Avatar plugin – this one pops up an avatar/gravatar associated with a person in the actual content of a blog post. (Not to be confused with the comment gravatars.) See this one here. (Unfortunately, it won’t work with Internet Explorer.)
Some of you might be interested in patGal, a photo gallery plugin that looks pretty good.
And an update on the anti-spam plugin, Bad Behavior: I deactivated it after a day of testing but stay tuned here for progress on its development.
STUFF:
Apparently the product link for Allposters.com doesn’t display correctly in Firefox, but it does in IE. You can still use it in Firefox, it just kinda looks messy (which I can’t stand).
Question: When is someone going to develop a browser that doesn’t SUCK? One that everyone can use and renders all pages correctly? Please, no recommendations unless you know of one that REALLY does work with everything. I mean everything.
Ok, that’s about it for right now. Tomorrow I’ll be doing the Friday Round the Reader post, as well as guest blogging for Crystal Clear. I hope you’ll check her site out if you haven’t been there yet!
Start thinking of your Blogad ideas so when I get off my duff–well, figuratively speaking since I kind of need to be “on my duff” to do this–and implement Blogads on my site, you can have a great one ready for people to see and click! I might actually just do a site redesign with left and right sidebars so it’ll be a little better-organized (now that I’ve managed to clutter the sidebar again).
Want a link? Hit me with a trackback and give everyone else some more to read here. I’ve got shi’ite to take care of right now, so have at it.
(Note: non-linked “one-way” trackbacks will be deleted. You know the drill.)

Beth, who’s addicted to blog-tweaking — as are we all — links to several plugin tools designed for blogs hosted by Wordpress.

I’ll skip the usual mumbo jumbo and skip right to the important parts:
