Yup, you read right – another WordPress Plugin competition has begun! Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place (rather than the old category-based system). I love these comeptitions because not only do they spice up my summer, but they trigger some amazing development. All plugins will be GPL licensed and available for download through the official WordPress Plugin Competition Blog.

I can’t wait to see what competitors come up with! Last year’s winners were outstanding, including:

Vhosts by Skippy

Static Jack by Jack Born
Popularity Contest by Alex King
LMB^Box Comment Quicktags by Montie

If you haven’t discovered feedburner yet, do go and check them out. I’ll wait here.

Back? Well, what did you think? Some pretty handy features – including the ability to let visitors subscribe via email, auto including Del.icio.us links, and a lot more. A very handy way to increase your subcribers – but until now a bit difficult to add to your WordPress blog.

Enter the folks at OrderedList.com with their Feedburner Plugin v.2.1 – this handy plugin does all the work for you – no .htaccess modifications or other nasty bits required. Why not grab it and give it a go?

Need to put some javascript into your posts?

Then you’re going to need this plugin – seems to work fine on WordPress 2.0. Simpli copy the file to your pluigins folder and activate it. Then if you need to enbed some javascript into a post or page, surrounding it with tags will make everything work nice and easy. Enjoy!
