Here it is. The presentation I’m giving right now (yes this very second people are watching me advance slides on a projector telling them how to have the best wordpress blog plugin experience). These 13 plugins help optimize the back end administration, empower users and just plain make your blog better. Space at WordcampPDX was limited so for those of you not in Portland or unable to attend here’s my presentation in it’s entirety. Well the slides anyway. I’ll get an audio enabled version as well as some demo video up as soon as I can.
For those of you checking this out for the links I promised during the presentation, let me know if you found any other great plugins I may have missed or if you have any questions about how to configure these plugins and I’ll see if I can help :D
After the slides are the links to all of the plugins.
The top 13 plugins featured in my presentation
- Disqus
- Twitter Tools

There you have. Keep checking back for my ongoing series of posts on the best new plugins and ways to better your blog as well as other hints, tips and tricks to help make your blog stand out.
*UPDATE*
Here’s the much requested “honorable mention” plugins list:
- WP Calais Autotagger
- WP Calais Archive Tagger
- Fluency Admin Dashboard theme (will be deprecated with the release of Wordpress 2.7)
- iWphone (theme for iphones)
- Treasurelicious (widget)
Thanks to Dale Chumbley for recording this. While I shudder a bit at some of the bad jokes I made to ease my own palpable tension it’s nice to see that it came out ok.
Before I get to the video I want to thank everyone of the presenters, the attendees and Aaron Hockley for giving me one of the greatest experiences with the Portland Tech community. Reading the responses on twitter to my presentation as well as the experts panel really made my day. Additionally getting to finally meet Viper007Bond who’s written some great plugins (some of which should be core, but more on that at a later date) & Marshall Kirkpatrick as well as a few other people was awesome.
Without further ado here’s the video (I’d recommend headphones for this).
Also keep checking the WordcampPDX site for information on the next wordcamp here as well as a possible November 10th upgrade party to version 2.7!
