Plugins
I’m too much productive, talking about plugins, at least too much compared to the time I dedicate to keep the blog up to date. I promised my self to review this page during the month of August… let’s start!
Newsletter and Newsletter Pro
Newsletter (with its Pro version) is the best plugin I ever wrote. Newsletter plugin extends your blog with a complete newsletter engine (subscription and mailing). The Pro version features also a feed by mail service, follow up/auto responder, statistics, SMTP integration.
Go to Newsletter official page.
File Commerce and File Commerce Pro
File Commerce helps a blog owner to sell digital content directly from his blog. I use it to sell my Pro plugins on members.satollo.net and it’s a four hand work with my colleague Luca. It makes incredible easy to setup a digital content selling system integrated with PayPal (Pro version integrates with ClickBank too) which gives a timed access to the purchased content like a membership (so customers can download updates too).

Hyper Cache
Hyper Cache is the first caching plugin I worte for WordPress (not the last) and as far as I know, is widely used with success from many blogs. I know there are other more advanced cache plugins but some users reported me that Hyper Cache is working better for them… so I’m keeping it live but without adding complexity: most blogs do not need complexity, only a bit more performances. Another cache plugin I worte is Lite Cache: I use it on some high traffic blogs I maintain.

Lite Cache
Lite Cache is another caching plugin I wrote overnight. It was aimed to be as simple as possible (there is no configuration options) and I wrote it to sustain the big traffic of my wife blog (www.periodofertile.it) which was kicking the virtual server where it is running.

Include Me
Include Me plugin is the evolution of Include It and lets to include external content inside a page or post. External content? Yes, for example an external PHP file which is loaded, executed and the result injected inside the page. Alternatively Include Me can generate an IFRAME (even if with latest version of WordPress editor IFRAMEs seem to be better supported – older version scrambled the IFRAME tag). I found it very useful to make pages that include complex script of external services, like chat areas.
