There have been many little changes to the site this week, as I’ve been working non stop to make quality improvements and publish some articles ^[1] you guys would be interested in.

I present you with five essential plugins that you don’t want to blog without.

Show Top Commentators ^[2]: This plugin rewards the top commentators by providing back links from my site. This should improve their google ranking and possibly send some traffic their way. I will increase the Top 5 to Top 10 once the comments get to double digits.

MyBlogLog ^[3]: Ok, this isn’t exactly a plugin, you’re right. It is a pretty cool thing to have up on the site though. This is another reward system for my readers, as it provides a way to interact and check out each others blogs. As you can see my community is a bit lacking in the people department, so don’t be shy and join!

Subscribe to comments ^[4]: This plugin puts a check box after the comment box so that you can get e-mail updates to the comments and come back to reply. In case you haven’t figured it out, I want you to comment, because I want to know what you have to say, so comment.

Feedburner Feed Replacement ^[5]: This plugin converts all the RSS feeds to feedburner so that I have better tracking functions. How does this benefit you? It makes me happy, which will trickle down to you, somehow.

Related posts ^[6]: The link that most other sites offer to this plugin is not functioning, so here is the latest one. It was a bit of a pain to install so I enlisted the help of Charley ^[7]. I expect this plugin to get my readers to look at more pages, since older articles will be more readily available.

If you go over to my first post ^[8], you will see some of the other plugins that I’ve used when launching this site in mid-December, 2006. I will keep you updated whenever I get a really good batch of plugins in.
