New WordPress 2.5 Plugins

Written by blogboy from http://www.bloggingfornoobs.com/ on April 23rd, 2008 | 1 Comment

I hit the jackpot on good plugin finds today for all you junkines. This morning I found myself sitting face to face with a site called Coffee 2 Code and a long list of WordPress 2.5 compatible plugins. I won’t go through the whole list but here are the ones you can bet will find their way into my blogs very soon.

· Auto Hyprelink URLs. It does just what it says by coding any plaint URL from your post or comment into a clickable link. While this has the potential for abuse with spam, it does mean you can remove the linking feature from the comments that might redirect someone elsewhere.

· HTML Special Character Helper. I don’t this very often, but when I do I really hate looking it up in an external program.

· Post to Post Link. While this is easily done with some preplanning normally, the description makes it look even simpler. I haven’t gone through the full trial on it, but it looked too good not to mention.

· Extra Sentence Space. As a novelist, this is one of those things that really, really bugs me about writing online. I see single spaces between a period and the next sentence and I want to correct it, which is bad because I have been web authoring before we were even calling it the web so I should be used to it, but I’m not.

· Obfuscate Email. This is another one I really don’t need since I already use another method to prevent harvesting.
