I’ve recently installed two new plugins that DI readers might find useful. I certainly do.
A) DI now has an enhanced search function. It looks exactly like the previous search box (see arrow immediately below), but it will now search for more than the text of posts. It will also search for comment text, comment authors, categories and tags. 
The plug-in that allows this expanded search is called “Search Everything.”
B) If you’d like to receive email notifications when future comments are approved regarding a particular post, you can do that by checking a little box beneath the field where you leave your own comment (though there is also an option to follow comments even if you don’t wish to leave a comment). The WordPress plugin that allows this magic is called Subscribe to Comments Reloaded.
These are two examples of why I really appreciate the WordPress blogging platform. There is a huge community of people who develop plugins. This site runs with the help of 31 active plugins, and it has become a rather simple process to add or customize most of these plugins.
