I have been talking a bit lately about some of the plugins I have recently discovered here, here, and here -but the following list is a quick and dirty look at what’s beneath the hood of bavatuesdays: 404 Notifier 1.0: This plugin will log 404 hits on your site and can notify you via e-mail or you can subscribe to the generated RSS feed of 404 events. Adjust your settings here. By Alex King. Aggregate 1.0: Allows you to place the contents of an RSS feed into your posts. By Rob Miller. Articles 1.1: Display posts in an ‘Articles’ list. To include a post in the list, add a custom field to the post: ‘article’ = ‘1′. By Alex King. BDP RSS Aggregator 0.4.10 (test): RSS Aggregator - collate RSS feeds and summarise to a page - updates regularly without the need for cron. By Bryan Palmer. Code Markup 1.1.1:: A filter that displays code blocks nicely while still allowing formatting. By Bennett McElwee. Exec-PHP 3.0:: Allows php code tags inside the content or excerpt of your posts and pages to be executed just as in usual PHP files. By Sören Weber.

By Alex King. Spam Karma 2: Reloaded: The only spam filter for WordPress. Period.

WP-FLV 0.2: This plugin eases insertion of Jeroen Wijerings FLV Video Player By Roel Meurders. (PodPress does play FLVs, but this is still the slickest and most solid FLV player for WordPress) Brian’s Latest Comments 1.5.10: This shows an overview of the recently active articles and the last people to comment on them.
