WP Amazon for linking to media off Amazon in posts
Dustan's Time of Day - For nicer post times
Staticize ReloadedMakes certain areas of your page static... I play around with this one but dont have it on since I moved to 1.5
Post Count - duh
Gravatar - displays the avatar of the poster
Customizable Post Listings I use this for thumbnails in the extended entry field on my photoblog... not working quite right in 1.5 though.
CG-Feedread - A simple RSS/RDF feed aggregator for displaying feeds.

"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"
My MooMus - a custom field handler for "Now Listening" and "My mood" (and whatever else you want to list)
WP-HTMLArea - for my less html savvy posters

I've tried using a few of the different gallery plugins for image handling but they all seem too buggy to be very useful. If anyone has any that work reliably I'd love to hear about them...

Thanks for the help, Glenn. I finally got a VOTD running on my blog using a highly hacked-up version of Chait's CG-Feedread

Thanks again.

So which plugins do you use Joel? I've hardly installed any.

Support Forums has a simple answer.

I still have a few plug-ins that aren't working but on the whole it seems like 1.5 will be great, especially in the spam department.

No worries.

GNP have a javascript solution too if you're interested in going down that path: http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/share/services/js/

Oh, so this is the one you made for MT and it works for WP? Niiiiice.

Thanks so much!

Bravo on the upgrade. The lack of a decent export plugin/feature was one of the first things I noticed about WordPress. When I first switched to WP from MT 2.6X I was terrified, as I knew very little about MySQL/PHP. At one point, I even tried to go back to MT -- but I'm sold now, and I'm in this thing for the long haul now.

I look forward to watching for your changes.

Peace,
Andy

P.S. -- How do did you get the ESV RSS feed onto your blog? I once had a plugin to parse the RSS but can't remember how I did it.
