2 More Useful Wordpress Plugins

An update on some of the new (or at least new to me!) wordpress plug-ins I’ve just found.

WP Greet Box – This is a great idea, though I’ve just installed it on my Arts/Crafts site, Dabbled.org, to try it out. I’ll keep you posted on how I find it to work. Thus far, I’m liking it. It determines where your visitor is visiting from, and displays a greeting message to either point them in the direction of more related posts (in the case of a Google search) or (in the case of Twitter) suggests they re-tweet and offers up how to follow you on twitter. In general it will remind them to follow your RSS feed. Which is pretty nifty.

Tweetsuite – I installed this on on Dabbled.org today, because I use Twitter a great deal with that site, and I was interested in displaying ‘tweetbacks’ (ie where other users had tweeted my posts). It appears to still have a few bugs (I got an error message when I tried to install some of it’s widget capability) but the core functionality seems fine. It’s a great idea, so I’m hoping it works well!

Update:  Neither of these I’m keeping… both didn’t quite work as I’d hoped.
