Mmm.. I’d Like To Take THAT For a Test Drive!

Ahhh …. I see you’re still with me!

Last week we talked about Optimizing your Database and Showing Off your most Popular Posts on Plugins Can Be Addicting!

This week I’m bringing you………

Simple Social Icons

This is a plugin by Studiopress. Yes, those awesome people who create all the blog themes I love! What am I talking about? You’ve seen

Well this is the plugin. Simple Social Icons is customizable by Color, Hover Color, and Icon Size. You can specify how to Align them (left, center, right); and chose from several Profiles to link to.

Wangguard

If you allow people to Register for your site, this is an awesome plugin that STOPS Sploggers, Unwanted Users, and Untrusted Users! WangGuard not only protects your site from sploggers, spam users or unwanted users, WangGuard cleans your database from them.

It’s highly customizable and you can even BAN USERS from your site! Check our their Screenshots!

Maintenance Mode

When you self-host your own blog, you inherit Maintenance time. Yes, this is Maintenance that you perform yourself on YOUR own blog. Or maybe you are changing up your theme and want to take your site down for a few minutes, hours, days or week. Here you can customize a message to your readers and let them know what you are doing and your anticipated return time.

This plugin is highly customizable.

And back to you.

Do you use any of the above plugin’s and if so, how do you like them?

If you’re not using any of the above yet use a similar, care to share it with us?
