A couple of folks have asked recently what plug-ins I have installed on this blog. Below is a cut/paste from our plug-ins page listing all the currently active plug-ins that I use. There’s always a couple more activated at any given time as I play around with different stuff. Currently exploring Ultimate Tag Warrior, but I just haven’t had time to look into it’s feature-laden capabilities yet, so I didn’t include it here.
Several other real estate bloggers listed their plug-ins awhile back. Here’s the lists from: BloodhoundBlog, Rain City Guide, RealCentralVA and The Future of RE Marketing. Good stuff…. and you can probably find more lists in the comments.
One word of advice – install plug-ins one at a time, activate them, and look around to see if anything is broken. Some plug-ins don’t play well together. If something is broken, don’t panic, just deactivate the plug-in and that will probably fix it)
My favorite plug-ins: Spam Karma (this or Askimet is **essential**), Database backup (I’ve never needed to restore the database, but I’ve come *very* close to imploding this thing and am glad it’s there), Sidebar Widgets – not really required as you can always cut/paste code, but widgets are very cool.
