Entirely Gratuitous WordPress Plugins

Having a little too much time on my hands this evening as I try and avoid wiping my computer clean and giving it back to UMW, I got sidetracked by my RSS Reader that featured some WordPress plugins that did some rather odd things. Some may even call these odd things superfluous, and they may be right. But if you open up that line of reasoning and push it too far, a whole bunch of things you might hold dear would crumble quicker than a Hollywood Mogul in front of HUAC. So be careful, Commie!

The BM Custom Login Plugin allows you to customize your login page with a design and image of your choice. I can’t stress strongly enough how utterly pointless this is for bavatuesdays given I am the only one who logs in, but nonetheless I had to do it. Poor Barbara Steele, I just can’t get over my obsession and leave her haunting visage alone.

Can you honestly tell me you’re not jealous right now?!

Even more ridiculous is the Favicon Manager WordPress Plugin that, you guessed it, manages your favicons. This makes it easier than ever (and it was already dead simple) to link to a 20px by 20px favicon that expresses the real you. Once again I chose the “scream queen of Italian gothic horror films” for my favicon, and for some reason I feel like I just added the finishing touches on the home I never owned.

Does anyone else use a plugin that is more useless than these two are for me? I highly doubt it.
