A nice list to have and refer to if you desire some functionality and don’t want to reinvent the wheel. I found jCarousel Lite and jCarousel via this page.

Somebody at Foliovision (no author on this page - why? is it a secret?) wrote a good comparsion of two Wordpress plugins that handle FAQ features - FAQ-Tastic and Ask Me. Good read if your client is requesting such a feature for their Wordpress site.

I’ve been hunting for an ecommerce plugin for Wordpress at the request of a client, and so far it appears that the WP e-Commerce plugin by Instinct Entertainment is the only horse in town. I’m bookmarking to give it a good test later. There appears to be a “free” and “commercial” version. I listed the “recently added features” (as of WP e-Commerce 3.5.1) below. The paid version is WP e-Commerce Gold which is a reasonably priced $15 for “a single Blogger”. However, i’m not sure what the $250 “Gold Upgrade - For Business” is exactly for outside of “Businesses setting up WP e-Commerce sites for their clients”. For $250, it better be an unlimited (or close to it) license.

Kudos to Joost for his Users to CSV WordPress plugin. I imagine you could modify this for other data-to-CSV uses for custom Wordpress sites, which applies to my clients.

I can’t link to every Wordpress plugin out there, but I do use and recommend WP-Print for adding the functionality of allowing printable posts to your Wordpress blog. Nice options area in the admin area for some minor controls without html or css editing.

Arial Balkan notes today that he is using Joost de Valk’s Wordpress RSS Footer plugin, which is what i’ve been using since i restarted my blog. Scrapers use to bother me, but less now. Getting used to it, especially after I added “Copyright © 2007 - David Bisset (davidbisset.com) ID#DAVIDBISSET1701″ at the end of each feed which allows me to easily track via a google search where the scrapers are (in case you were wondering, if you are reading this in your RSS reader). Arial uses a link back, and he questions it - I had the same questions myself. On the safe side for now, I stick with a copyright. How many real human beings are reading the scrapers I wonder?

RelatedPosts is a WordPress plugin that provides multiple options to show the via tags related posts of a post. It contains a sidebar widget that is only visible when viewing a single post and displays a list of posts that are related with the current post via the tags.

Perishable Press presents a simple method for dramatically decreasing the size of your WordPress database by partially emptying old data from the WP-ShortStat. I personally use this plugin, so i’m bookmarking this for me to consider six months down the road.

Saw this on mashable today - Yahoo Shortcuts can suggest and add Maps, Finance, ok-to-use images and more to your blog posts. Not sure if this helps or adds content spam, so i’m bookmarking to check out later.

Since I still work in Flash, I decided to bookmark some links and pages related to useful firefox plugins for Flash. Flash Switcher is so far my favorite plugin. If you stumble on this post and can throw me more relevant links, drop a comment.

• Firefox Plugins for Flash Platform Developers
• Flash Switcher for OSX
• Flash Switcher (win)
• User Info for Alessandro Crugnol

I just installed this, because i’m starting to put php, javascript, and html code samples into my blog posts. This code markup plugin seems to be one of the few that work with WordPress 2.3.

Mashable’s nice collection of really nice plugins. Here’s another list of Wordpress plugins allowing you to control your Google Adsense ads (these might overlap). Thinking of putting some small ads on my blogs, only because i could use the few bucks. Have you seen the price of gas lately?

I’ve been using wp-statpress for the past few days, and it’s one of those “simple but effective” plugins when you don’t need a billion numbers to look at.
