Pimp Your Textpattern: Part 2 Feb 10, 10:19

That’s all for now. I’m picking through my old list of Wordpress plugins and trying to find out what is worth putting up and what isn’t. I have two separate plugin directories to go through, so there is plenty more where this stuff came from. Suggestions are welcome though, I’m not entirely sure what is popular in Wordpress (what most people use, and the platform that has the biggest plugin community imo) these days and I’d like to have a list of like plugins for various platforms.
