It seems like there’s a million pages online about which Wordpress plugin are best for what use, but that changes all the time doesn’t it? You see someone’s blog and they’re doing something cool and the first thing that comes to mind is “what plugin does that?”. Some of the best Wordpress plugins I ever had (bsuite) are now gone on all my blogs, replaced with new ones I never heard of before (Aizatto’s Related Posts). The bottom line is – I could constantly post and blog about which Wordpress plugins “I” thought were the best, but I simply don’t have enough time to write about all the plugins I find, try, remove, and add. The best ones I will still write about and review, but from now on if you want to know what Wordpress plugins I’m using in JTPratt’s blogging Mistakes – just visit this page. I’m using Lester Chan plugin called Plugins Used.

It dynamically displays all the plugins I have active below at any given time. It also (could) display the inactive ones too, but I saw no point in that since anything inactive is usually shortly thereafter deleted and removed for good. So without further ado – “here is a list of the Wordpress plugins I use on this blog…”
