When I first got Thesis, I was excited that I could add pictures of my grandkids to my personal blog. The only thing was it wasn’t a slideshow. When I learned how to widgetize the multimedia box, I also got the NextGEN Gallery plugin. This is a great plugin that is very customizable. Now I’m in Granny Heaven!
Akismet comes with Wordpress and is a good deterrent for spam. I soon found that it wasn’t enough though. Thanks to the DIY Forums, I found Raven’s Antispam and the Simple Trackback Validation plugins. With these 3 plugins running, I haven’t had to worry about spam comments.
Thesis OpenHook is great plugin from KingdomGeek. Instead of adding custom code in the custom_functions. php, you can add it using the plugin. It also allows you to view and edit the custom.css. This one is on my to-do list to learn more about.
