Having now developed a few dozen websites using Wordpress as a back-end, I’ve come to find myself installing the same plugins over many of those installations.
Initially finding those plugins was often quite a challenge though. While I often sing the praises of Wordpress, the plugin area of their site is honestly an embarrassment to the platform, if only because there is no way to sort through plugins. Thus one of Wordpress’s biggest benefits – the massive community – becomes a huge problem due to the sheer number of plugins. Without a way to filter or sort, you’re left with a massive list of plugins, the vast majority of which haven’t been updated in years.
