WordPress Plugins I Use And Why
People often wonder exactly what runs the backend of my various wordpress installs, so I decided to give a full rundown of the wordpress backend as it in in the new View From The Quad redesign.
Firstly, this is what my plugins page looks like. Click to see this full screen.
All wordpress users should be familiar with Askimet. It is quite simply put, the best anti-spam plugin out there. However, you need a wordpress.com account to run it. It can also be run on Drupal installs, as well as many other CMSes. I used it on various forum installs in my years.
This one is a life-saver. Both my shows need a hell of a lot of links, and adding them all seperatly takes ages. Automatic Links does this for you, which makes me happy. It’s one all Podcasters with lots of links in their shownotes should use.
This just makes sure that when you subscribe to a feed, you get the feedburner redirect of the feed. Kind of useful, although since VFTQ and Scodio now only use wordpress as a backend, I’m suspicious as to how much work it actually does.
This is quite simply THE plugin for podcasting with WordPress. It rocks, in so many different ways. Want a premium RSS feed? You got it. Want to lock your feed? You got it. You HAVE to use this if you are a wordpress podcaster.
This allows the Scodio Twitter Account to update it’s followers any time ANY of my sites makes an update. It’s a pretty useful way to keep up with what happens here at Scodio Studios!
Nothing overly exciting here. Just stats.
Along with sponsorship, whenever I link to an Amazon product, my referell code gets stuck in there. Makes life easier.
Never actually had to use this one. I wonder why I still have it… The site claims that it doesn’t even work anymore. I should really get rid of it…
A great WordPress Caching plugin. My sites have never gone down due to an influx, and both VFTQ and SWoW have had pretty huge influxes of visitors out of the blue.
Check out VFTQ or Scodio in your iPhone browser, and you will be plesently suprised. It looks all classy and clean.
Impressive, no?
So what wordpress plugins do you use? Let me know in the comments, and link back to your site so that we can take a look!
