Top 10 Plugin Developers – In what I consider to be a unique use of the WordPress.org API. W-shadow.com has published the top 10 WordPress Plugin developers based on the number of downloads the plugin has received. The top three should be no surprise as they are Michael Torbert author of the All in one SEO plugin, Matt Mullenweg author of Akismet and Lester ‘Gamerz’ Chen author of the WP-Polls plugin. Shadow goes into detail regarding other statistics revolving around the plugin repository so be sure to give that a read as his findings are rather interesting.-http://w-shadow.com/blog/2008/12/28/top-10-wordpress-plugin-developers/

Plugin Of The Week – Comment Luv – Comments are a wonderful thing to receive on your blog, adding the dofollow plugin is one way to reward but why not place a link to their last post under their comment, with CommentLuv, you can do that automatically! This is an excellent way to promote comments from your readers. The CommentLuv WordPress Plugin will visit the feed of the comment author and attempt to scrape the last post they made and display it under their comment, this way you can encourage people to join in the discussion of your posts and give something back straight away.
