Plugins are here!
Published October 10, 2006 by Lori
Plugins are additions to autiblogger/wordpress that let you do more things with your blog. There are several installed by default as soon as your blog is created. These are on all the time for everybody and include things like widgets, the admin bar, and the spam karma 2 spam blocker.
Starting today, there will be plugins that each user can choose to activate or deactivate. Plugins are activated deactivated by default. To activate plugins (and view a list of currently installed plugins), go the the ‘Plugins’ tab which now appears in your administration section.
The first plugin is the ‘Simple Tags’ plugin which allows you to easily add Technorati Tags to your posts. Technorati is a very popular blog search engine. To tag a word (or group of words) in your post, surround the word(s) with [ tag ] and [ /tag ]. Do not included the spaces in the [ tag ] tags! They appear in this post for display reasons only.
Example: [ tag ]words to be tagged[ /tag ]
The tagged words will be listed at the bottom of your post, and links will lead to a Technorati tag search to find other people who have used that same tag.
More plugins will be added over time and requests for plugins are now being accepted. During beta testing, plugins that will place a high demand on the server (such as video plugins) and certain other plugins will not be installed. It is possible that these plugins may be added at a later time.
