WordPress has a lot of attention recenlty, and thus, all sorts of extensions are flourishing.  Here are the plugins that I decided to try out:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dev.wp-plugins.org\/wiki\/AuthorHighlight\">AuthorHighlight<\/a>.  The number of comments on my site is slowly rising and I thought that it would be nice to highlight my own comments differnently.  I still have to configure the style.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blindmuse.com\/blog\/2004\/03\/31\/group-archives-by-year\/\">Archives by Year<\/a>.  A really small change that makes a difference.  I think archives are easier to use this way.  More structure is better.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/kimmo.suominen.com\/sw\/dofollow\/\">DoFollow<\/a>.  All comments on this site come pre-moderated and there is no SPAM at all, so there is no good reason not to give linked sites some credit.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.navidazimi.com\/projects\/wp-lists\/\">List Manager<\/a>.  This is one of the most useful plugins ever! I wonder how come that I never wrote it myself.  It allows to manage all sorts of lists through administration interface, rather than edit posts directly.  I have switched my <a href=\"\/wordpress\/2003\/01\/17\/wishlist\/\">wishlist<\/a>, <a href=\"\/wordpress\/2004\/06\/28\/movies-to-see\/\">movies to see<\/a>, and <a href=\"\/wordpress\/2004\/09\/29\/200-things-to-do\/\">200 things to do<\/a> lists already.  While switching, I&#8217;ve updated and corrected some.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also seen a number of plugins that I considered for installation or even tried, but decided to leave out for the time being.  If you have nothing better to do, I suggest you <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/\">check them out<\/a> once in a while &#8211; things grow and expand much faster than I want to follow.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>Since I just upgraded my WordPress installation, I thought it would be a good time to check what&#8217;s new in the plugin area.
