Are you struggling to make your site easier to use? Do you wish you could easily add icons to your links? Well you are in luck. Wordpress offers a few great plugins to help you brighten up your website.
Give Your Dashboard a Makeover
The MyDashboard plugin allows you to remove the ugly standard dashboard supplied with Wordpress and replaces it with a sophisticated AJAX based dashboard similar to the iGoogle design.
Spruce Up Your Links
The File Icons plugin allows you to give your links a bit a flair. This plugin places a small icon just before each link to signify what type of content the link is pointing towards. You can even customize the link categories as well as add your own icons. This plugin currently utilizes the free set of FamFamFam Silk icons.
Give Your Visitors a Face
The MyAvatars plugin allows you to display an Avatar next to your visitor’s comments. This plugin currently works with the Gravatar and MyBlogLog avatar management systems.
Hide Those Unsightly Trackbacks & Pingbacks
The Seperate Comments & Pings plugin allows you to hide, while still tracking, the various trackbacks and pingbacks associated with your posts. This helps keep your visible comment count to a minimum and provides only meaningful comments to your visitors.
Make Your Images Stand Out from the Crowd
The Lightbox 2 plugin provides a javascript based framework for managing image based links. This plugin redirects your linked images to display as a beautiful popup photo instead of just a standard boring image on a blank page. This plugin also allows groups of image to be displayed as a custom slideshow. Check out an example of it’s capabilities by clicking on the image below.
