Thursday 13: Thirteen must-have WordPress plugins
- @Reply – allows you to do Twitter-style replies to people who leave comments on your entries
- Akismet – awesome spam protection
- BM-TrackPing – separates pings and trackbacks from regular comments (very useful when organizing giveaways and selecting winners!)
- CommentLuv – share the commenting love!
- Comment Timeout – automatically close comments after X amount of weeks/months. This is especially great if you have a giveaway for baby shower games, and don’t want people entering after the contest has ended.
- CR Post to Ping.fm – send notifications of new blog entries to Ping.fm
- Custom Smilies – should be self-explanatory
- Flickr Manager – makes adding Flickr photos to blog entries a no-brainer
- Math Comment Spam Protection – more spam prevention
- Search and Replace – run “find X and replace it with Z” queries from the admin panel
- Spam Karma 2 – awesome spam prevention
- TTFTitles – use fonts to generate custom title images
- WP-PageNavi – add numbered pages navigation to your posts

Hi, thanks for the mention of CR Post to Ping.fm!

I only use the first two. I separate comments and pings on some of my blogs with a bit of code in the comments template. It’s probably easier than the plugin, honestly.
