A lot goes into making this site run smoothly. It took me about a month to get this blog running the way I wanted it to, trying out various plugins, correcting some of them on my own, etc. It was nuts! Anyhow, some of you have asked about what plugins I use. This list is for you! Plugins I am using (43 total)

This plugin provides two new template tags to replace plain text with styled images. This is primarily a reworking of the Image Headlines plugin. Of course, THAT was a reworking of another plugin by Joel Bennett. The main changes over Brian’s plugin are (a) a richer admin interface, (b) the ability to predefine multiple image text styles, and (c) using template tags instead of depending on arguments to the_title. Anything that works really well probably came from Brian’s code. Anything screwed up is probably my fault.John Leavitt
