Plug-ins of the week

In Weekly Assignments on 25 November 2008 at 9:44 pm

Under dynamic web’s complusion, I have this week installed not one, not two, but three plug-in to my website.

I found them all through wordpress.org, but some had their own external sites as well. The first is a shadowbox flickr photo album made by tantannoodle. Wish I was making that up, but I’m not. I liked the simplicity of its thumbnail display (although I’d like to increase the white space between the thumbs), which I hope to emulate manually with thumbnails of my videos, only those will link to…

YouTube videos embedded with Viper’s Video Quicktags. This makes the look of the videos a little more customizable, but mainly makes them simpler to embed behind the scenes.

And finally, for no good reason other than to reflect my pervasive lack of a stable address, I used a contact form called cformsII, which seems to have been developed by a chef. Here, too, I liked that the contact form could take on the very clean, minimalistic look that I want to pervade my site.
