So Many Plugins, So Little Time
At long last, I’m getting the interior decorating bug. Surely a bit of paint, some carefully-chosen furniture and a few well-placed knick knacks could help liven up the place a bit. Besides, you can only go so far with a futon and orange highlights.
Thus far, I have selected the following hand-crafted Movable Type Plugins:
- MT-Notifier (installation in progress)
- MT-PhotoGallery
- MT-Blacklist
- Nofollow
“C’mon, Joe, surely you can do better than that! Have you seen Ben Hammersley’s plugin list lately?” Of course it’s not about who has the most plugins, it’s how you use them that counts. Besides, I have to believe Ben had a good reason for picking each one. (Otherwise he’d be setting a dangerous … um … you know.)
So let’s hear from all you MT Plugin connoisseurs out there: If you could take only three plugins with you to a desert island, which would they be and why?
