Posts I need to write
This post could also be called “I am a WP Plugin whore”! 
Ok, so what happened is I have a whole bunch of posts I want to put-up, that I am either too lazy or too disorganized to complete. So I am hoping that by putting the list up on the blog, I will be guilted into doing them.
I wanted to make sure this list stayed on top of the blog, which would mean having a “sticky” post. WP doesn’t support that out of the box (which is kinda weird), so I remembered reading about Adhesive, so I decided it was time to add this plugin. So I google for the Adhesive site, and start scrolling down the page looking for the plugin installer. Then I see Geo and I’m like “hmm’ and then I see Comments-Quick Tag and I think “interesting” and before you know it, a quick 1 plugin install has turned into a 3 plugin pig-out.
I just know I am going to pay for this gluttony when it comes to migrating to WP 2.5 
Anyway, here is the list of posts I am going to add to the site (The titles are draft)
- Hacking the Windows Desktop (Mild to Hardcore)
- An Xplanet Screensaver
- paste special icons for ms office
- CoTN vs Star Wars:Empire at War
- impressions of ogame/swcombine (Read the article here)
- review garden of beasts
- being “realtime”
- firefox vs maxthon – the plugin wars
- konfabulator / yahoo widgets catching on
- hdd-health
Let’s hope I now make some progress on this list.
PS – 2006-05-15: I have obviously been making very little progress on this list and I just think that having this post sitting on top is spoiling the look of the blog (Yes, I can hear your cries of “Quitter” just fine 
). But I will be adding this list to my Backpackit page and that sits on my desktop thanks to a Yahoo Widget, so I’d say I’m still reminding myself about this list)

Thanks for the tip aquazero! I’m not too happy with the bland-looking list I have right now (the table that the PluginsUsed plugin generates really messes the site) and ViperBond’s plugin looks pretty good.
On the other hand, looking at ViperBond’s list has made me add 5 plugins to my plugin wishlist.
Let me say it again.. I am a WP-plugin wh***

Looks like a nice set of plugins “to be posted”
I’m excited to read them once they are finished!

I’ve been trying to get ‘email this post’ plugin working on our blog, Sounding the Trumpet, but when I activate the plugin and click on the link to email this post it gives me errors. Is there something I have to configure after or before I activate the plugin?

Hi Gerbil!
I assume that you are getting a 404 (page not found) error?
The plugin starts to work only after the blog’s permalink structure is updated. You can do this by going into Options>Permalink Options and clicking on Update Permalink Structure.
Please also ensure that in your Email options (Email>Email Options), you have the Email method set to PHP.
Hope this helps! Otherwise drop me a PM on the weblogs forums and I’ll try and help out as much as I can

A plugin whore….nice. I feel that way sometime, especially when I upgrade and the plugins don’t work and it sets me back to square one. Good luck with all the log entries…

Hi Bevin!
Yes, I worry about the day when I have to upgrade as well. It’s also a pain to have to hack your theme for a new plugin and then ensure the styling doesn’t break, not to mention that hacking your theme for that shiny new plugin typically means you can’t switch themes when you feel like it.
And I have finally got around to actually working on that list – here’s the first article!. Thanks for all your best wishes – I think that really helped in guilting me along
