WordPress Fans: Time for Advanced Plugins?

Do not let the name scares you off, if you can follow simple instructions, copy-and-paste, you can Plug-and-Play (or in this case: Plug – and – Post, Plug – and- Blog)  those  plugins.

Most of those plugins are Back-End so you will see them working in your Admin Panel, and your vistors will notice the difference on your blog!

Here they are in no particular order:

TinyMCE Advanced

The Description:

This plugin adds 16 plugins to TinyMCE, WordPress’ wysiwyg editor:
Advanced hr, Advanced Image, Advanced Link, Context Menu, Emotions (Smilies), Full Screen, IESpell, Layer, Media, Nonbreaking, Print, Search and Replace, Style, Table, Visual Characters and XHTML Extras. Together these plugins can add over 40 new buttons to the toolbar, which is now two rows plus one hidden row.

The Effect:

Makes writing a post easier, just through in the Kitchen Sink; no kidding..Drag and drop buttons onto the toolbars, or get rid of that button you do not use!
You can use the Visual view and visit the HTML View less often!

The Description:

It supports all of the tracking mechanisms that Google Anayltics supports such as external link tracking, download tracking, tracking without counting administrative users, and any other advanced tracking the user wishes to add.

Do not use Google Analytics? no problem:
