Fun with Plugins is a shortcut for producing Wordpress plugins. Answer some wizard questions then download the template plugin file. If you are going to start writing plugins for WordPress then this place is a quick start where you can get rid of building initial structure of WP-Plugin, have a template ready and jump start actual coding you own WP-Plugin.
Following WordPress Plugins are solution man! I was searching for some of these WP-Plugins for long time and finally I found and after testing sharing these with you.
Pownce For WordPress
Pownce for WordPress displays your public Pownce messages for all to read.
Download
Plugin Central
Plugin Central is a WordPress plugin management add-on to automatically install and update WordPress plugins. You can specify URL of Plugin zip file to automatically download and install the plugin right into your blog from admin. All Features include:
Plugin Output Cache
This plugin provides a way for other plugins to cache their output and speed page display. Most of my plugins use the cache automatically if it is installed. The cache is cleared automatically whenever the blog content changes so that the retrieved output is always fresh.
Download
WordPress PHP Exec Plugin
This plugin lets you execute dynamic PHP code in posts. It masks PHP code before balanceTags, and unmask them afterwards, so it should be safe to use PHP code that has literal HTML tags in it, for example: code which print out HTML.
Download
MyTwitter

Includes customization options including number of recent twitters to display, formatting options, and stylesheets. It can be called as a function or used as a widget.

Lightbox 2 WP-Plugin

Control at which image to display popup and which to open normally or even you can display images at popup in a cycle with next and previous buttons controls.
Download
GoCodes Redirection Plugin
Have you ever had to give someone a shortened version of a URL? Maybe you’re a podcaster, and you need to say “visit mydomain.com/2008/01/03/my-post-with-a-long-url/ for more info.” Wouldn’t it be useful if you could just say “go to mydomain.com/go/mycoolpost/ ?” Sure, you *could* use a service like tinyurl.com, but that’s still not too great if you need the URL for a podcast. It’s still awkward to read-out “tinyurl.com/27asr9,” isn’t it? It’s less professional too (not to mention that you’re relying on TinyURL to stay in business, and not delete your redirect, etc). GoCodes let’s you create shortcut URLs to anywhere on the internet, right from your Wordpress Admin. Whether you need it for podcasting, printed publications, or affiliate programs, GoCodes will do the job for you.

Download
Fast Static Feeds WP-Plugin
Fast-Static-Feed is a plugin that can cache the site’s entries feed, and deliver a static XML file instead of constantly generating the feed content on every client request. This has greatly reduced the waste of bandwidth and system resources. Syndicated content has almost become the standard way of distributing web content nowadays. WordPress can deliver its content in various different feed formats -RSS 2.0, Atom 1.0, RDF, RSS 0.92- and can generate feeds for both the published posts -grouped by time, category, tag, author etc- and the comments that have been submitted by readers. Moreover, some RSS add-on modules are being used in the generated feeds, so that modern feed readers can even retrieve the submitted comments for each of the feed entries. It is obvious that all these features greatly enhance the user experience, but, on the other hand, depending on the website’s traffic they might increase the server load and thus the content delivery times.
Download
Extra Feed Links Plugin
Wordpress has a feed for pretty much anything you can think of. In spite of this, besides the “All articles” and “All comments”, feeds go unnoticed because very few themes have links to them. This plugin tries to fix that by adding appropriate feed links to the header of every page type:
The link can also be added in the page body by using extra_feed_link().
Download
Exclude Pages Plugin
This plugin adds a checkbox, “include this page in menus”, which is checked by default. If you uncheck it, the page will not appear in any listings of pages (which includes, and is usually limited to, your page navigation menus).
Download

Ajax Comment Posting
There are many comment-related plugins in Wordpress plugin directory. However, if you’d like to find just a simple comment-posting Ajax plugin, you won’t find any. That’s why I developed a simple and small (5kB) yet functional Ajax Comment Posting (ACP) plugin. Not only will it post your comment without refreshing the page, but it will also make sure that you’ve filled all the form fields correctly. The plugin works well in all major Web browsers, and switches to the traditional comment posting if JavaScript is disabled. ACP works well with WP AJAX Edit Comments plugin allowing you to edit and manage comments in an Ajax way, and the users to edit their own comments for a specified amount of time.

For Wordpress new release 2.6.2, I updated one of my blog and got my posts exported and then imported into new blog. There one unusual thing I noticed. WP23RP (WP Related Posts Plugin) which I was using and post views plugin did something unusual. Whenever i was going to open my Write new post section It got held and jQuery script went unresponsive while I noticed that there was a loop going on in my Write Panel under Custom Fields Tab. Related posts were populating there which should not be because I was writing a new post, and was not editing any existing post.
my server got heavy load and they told me about it. I immediately turned off WP Related posts and Post Views plugins but problem was same. Post views fields were also populating there.
I realized that there must be some database problem. I fixed that after a bit of a struggle.
I requested help from Wordpress Forum here.
Author’s homepage is here.
Plugin’s home page is here.
yet I did not get any response. But its a critical issue. It can be anything with new Wordpress 2.6.2 importing or it can be anything to do with WP Realted Posts Plugin (Update Issue).
If you know anything relating to this problem then please advise the audience.
Screenshots
First of all please be aware that using too many plugins can cause your blog to respond slow and heavy load on your server (Serious Issues).
Use only essential plugins which help promoting and enhancing KILLER POSTS whithout causing trouble for your blog instead of killing your blog once and for all by using unnecessary plugins.
Some plugins are even vulnerable and can get your website hacked and eventually banned. Only use updated version of right plugins picked from wordpress website.
