[...] http://thingsbymike.com/wordpress-toolkit/ This is a great list of plugins to download for all of us WordPress users. This comes from my friend Mike’s page. He has a bunch of great posts about a variety of topics. [...]

Hi David. Glad ya found something useful in the list :) The clean archives plugin is very nice. It’s the cleanest looking archive plugin I’ve managed to find so far.

Thanks for the list. That clean archives plugin looks like a nice addition to my own site.

All the best.

Thanks Rob :) Oh man the first time I ever started using WordPress I checked out that plugin directory. That was also the last time I checked it out…lol.

Nice post Mike, as you point out there are 100′s of others, yet these are a great starter bunch to highlight.

Its posts like these that help people new to wordpress understand what is and what isnt useful. A trawl through the WP plugin directory would leave many feeling mightly confused.

Hey Mike,

I think this is a great list. I have a lot of these on my site already, however I have to admit that I am missing a few. I think I am going to download and install the ones that I am missing. Thanks again.

Gallery has sooooo many files to it as well. My god it takes forever to upload, even on a broadband connection :-o

I need to eventually get it all configured on my other domain though, because I want to do some things with the e-card plugin. I’m not really looking forward to it though…lol.

Hey Mike, I just started a new blog and suddenly I found myself lost in regards to plugins! I’m really happy you had made this post so I don’t have to comb through my stuff to try and remember what I have and what I don’t.

Oh, and I should’ve said it before – WPG2 and Gallery are not fun plugins to get started with imho. I don’t know what your background is, but mine is Computer Science…And I’m sayin’ no fun! Even though I have it up and running on bushmackel.com, I still never got it customized to my old theme, and now I’m going to have to start over getting it right with my new one. *groan* (And on my new blog *double groan*)
