I often get requests from peo­ple ask­ing me what plu­g­ins do I use on this blog. Or, what are my favorite plu­g­ins. Some­times, I post about them. But these lists usu­ally become stale fast, because I test new plu­g­ins and change them all the time.

So I wanted to post an update and list some of my favorite plu­g­ins. How­ever, it was cum­ber­some to pick and choose which ones I wanted to post about because there are so many. So I’ve decided to do some­thing dif­fer­ent this year.

Using a plu­gin that lists all the plu­g­ins in use on a par­tic­u­lar blog (I’ll share that one with you in a moment), I man­aged to print a list of all my plu­g­ins in a sin­gle post.

How­ever, the descrip­tions you will read are those of the plu­gin authors. Some of them are poor and insuf­fi­cient. Oth­ers don’t explain how I use them specif­i­cally on this blog.

So I’ve also added a mini-​​description with addi­tional com­ments to each plu­gin to explain why, how, or where I’ve used it on this blog. I sin­cerely hope this list is use­ful to you. If it is, con­sider it a Christ­mas gift from me.

Just a quick message.

I’m going to post a new arti­cle later this after­noon. But I real­ize that some­times I don’t broad­cast an email notice to you. Either I sim­ply for­get, or I don’t have the time.

The RSS-​​to-​​email noti­fi­ca­tion is still being upgraded, so until then, the only way to make sure you’re noti­fied of any new blog posts is to sub­scribe to my RSS feed.

RSS feeds allow you to add the blog to your favorite RSS reader (like Feed­De­mon, News­ga­tor, etc), or start page (Page­Flakes, NetVibes, YahooWeb, Google Reader, etc).

I highly rec­om­mend that you add my feed.
