IntenseDebate

http://intensedebate.com/


Replaces
default
comment
system
with
advanced
commenting,
threaded
replies,

karma
points
(not
for
individual
comments),
Gravatars,
RSS,
ability
to
reply
to

comments
from
email
(great
to
reply
from
your
Blackberry),
all
in
one
management

from
the
website
for
users.
It
also
comes
with
the
optional
Intense
Debate
Top

Commentators
sidebar
widget
to
display
your
top
commentators,
great
to

encourage
commenting
(however,
the
Disqus

a
lot
more

comprehensive).



Disqus
Commenting
System

http://disqus.com


Replaces
your
comment
template
with
the
more
advanced
Disqus
comment
system.

Disqus
is
also
the
only
system
to
support
Facebook
Connect
out
of
the
box.
I’ve

contacted
IntenseDebate
directly
and
they
told
me
there
is
no
current
plan
to

support
Facebook
Connect.
Disqus
also
features
RSS,
Gravatars,
threaded
comments,

comment
karma,
and
lets
you
easily
see
comments
made
by
the
same
user
on
other

sites.
I
prefer
Disqus
as
it
offers
Facebook
Connect
support
out‐of‐the‐box
that
could

help
you
tap
into
the
Facebook
community.
Disqus
also
features
top
commentators,

recent
comments
widgets.
Also,
with
Disqus
you
can
enable
video
comments
with

seesmic.

I
was
able
to
contact
the
author
who
also
told
me

Stumble
Upon
support
is
on
its
way
as
well.

You

add
e‐mail

It
also
supports
TwitThis,
but
the
plugin
can
be
made
easier
by

shortening
service)
and
automatically
logging
the

into

with
the

and

already

WP‐SpamFree

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp‐spamfree/


An
extremely
powerful
anti‐spam
plugin
for
WordPress
that
virtually
eliminates

comment
spam,
including
trackback
and
pingback
spam.
I
find
the
plug‐in
works

surprisingly
well
by
eliminating
all
automated
spam.
It
does
somewhat
use
a
bit
of

bandwidth
sometimes.



WP
Super
Cache

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp‐super‐cache/


This
plugin
generates
static
html
files
from
your
dynamic
WordPress
blog.
After
a

html
file
is
generated
your
webserver
will
serve
that
file
instead
of
processing
the

comparatively
heavier
and
more
expensive
WordPress
PHP
scripts.
Some
people

have
complained
about
compatibility
problems
with
other
plugins,
so
exercise
some

caution
here
and
follow
the
instructions
carefully.
However,
the
plugin
is
very
good

and
can
save
you
a
significan
amount
of
bandwidth.

XML
Sitemaps

http://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects/wordpress‐plugins/google‐xml‐sitemaps‐

especially
for
people

who
want

but
also
want

comments
to
be
sent
to
