After getting hacked, I moved the host and started over. I only transfered my posts to not loose a few years of content. In the process I had to go out and decide which plugins to reinstall.<\/p>\n

It turns out it’s about 10 of them:<\/p>\n

  11. (bonus one) –\u00a0Lijit Search<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0Search Powered Web Applications for Publishers (I’m not using it at the moment as I have to modify my new theme a bit to add support for Lijit). It’s supposed to hijack my search, but as you can see, that part of their\u00a0functionality\u00a0doesn’t work for some reason with this theme.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    • Some of plugins like Easy Tube, flickrRSS are more of a legacy thing as they’re required by my older blog posts and my theme.<\/li>\n
    • Google Analytics is there because it’s much easier to use a plugin then to always hack the footer of WP theme.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      Is there a plugin that you find invaluable and you think I should try?<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
