James,

There are post on plugin all around the lab. But Two you would want to focus on are Eric Blackwell’s Must Have WordPress Plugins and Real Estate Blog Lab Nice to Have Plugins both were written in August of 2008. There have been others since.

A quick site search on plugins will show you a lot of them as will clicking on the category plugins.

Dave,

I would love to see a list of your favorite WP plugins. I am one of those new bloggers that has a PR 1, trying to build up a site that readers will enjoy following.

I hope to one day reach the point where if I were to leave a “Great post” post it would be looked at as a complement rather than spam.

Marc,

Great to see you back at the Lab. I don’t get over to REW much these day. I should.

Yeah, the lab is a labor of love. There is so much going on in the REBlog world and with WP it is easy to find things to write about.

I call it my online journal so I can remember how I got myself in and out of things in the future.

Come back more often.

Dave, Good stuff! LOL! I really like your goal you set to be known and respected as an authoritative blogger. Don't get me wrong, PR 5 is up there with air in my book. However, you give me knew hope that there is life beyond the great PR system. Freddie of Invest With Passions last blog post..Video: Green Building Revolution

Eric O.,

I have some friends, as Eric B mentioned above and is in that list himself who communicate more ways than just on the blog itself.

In those instances between friends it can be more than not taking the time to read or leave more, it is often an inside joke between them that the rest of us aren’t in on at all.

Twitter has fostered this kind of 140 or few character comments. I know I have a few friends (believe it or not) where leaving the pariah “Great Post” is an inside joke.

You crack me up. You have some pretty great photos yourself thanks for stopping by the lab.

Did you have a good weekend? Meet any interesting people?

You make an excellent point. I think that close personal friends are also exempt, but the problem is that this is often confusing to other readers who have no idea about the relationship. At the end of the day, if you don't have a relationship with the person or fall into the categories above, dropping a "great comment" is usually not cool. On a personal note, I will ALWAYS be thrilled to have you or T, or the logo (aka Todd Carpenter), or anyone else mentioned above drop a "nice post" on me.

Great Post is usually a sure sign someone didn’t bother to take the time to read your post. If you’re a big blogger or well known then why would you stoop to a level like this. Take 30 sec to leave a worthwhile comment! I read the posts I comment on and don’t take the easy road. Just like I do with the real estate clients I help here in Austin I take my time to do it right! I challenge all the “great posters” out there to take the time to read what you comment on.
