This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series Wordpress Plugins

Wordpress is an open source blogging platform. One of the most exciting aspects of this is the large number of interesting and useful plugins that developers have created to make Wordpress more suited to their own needs and, consequently, the needs of the rest of the Wordpress community. Here is a list of plugins I am currently using, or planning to use on this blog. Thanks to Lester Chan for creating the plugin (WP-PluginsUsed 1.30) that rendered the following list:
There are 24 plugins used: 15 active plugins and 9 inactive plugins.

    There may be some problems with plugins as you upgrade the WP core. For example, I created two plugins (cross-linker and captcha-godfather) and both were incompatible since WP 2.5.1. After a few emails from these plugins’ users I updated them and everything was fixed. But… when I installed some adsense plugin last time, one function’s name was exactly the same like one function’s name in my plugin. Thus, when I activated the new adsense plugin, my own plugin was activated too.

    It’s too hard to follow all updates of WP and so on. It is worth it, but not always.
