Geno,

We use most of the 5 plug-ins– great article! I’d mention one thing, however — and that is if you get digged, your plug-ins will kill your performance. Too many database calls and your server, no matter how beefy, goes down to its knees. You gotta be able to handle 7,000 hits a second and usually it’s not possible with plugins.

But if it’s just a personal blog and you don’t care for social media spiky traffic, then no worries.

You're welcome, and thank you, Josh. I personally like your plugin better (more Web 2.0-looking, and and I don't mind frequent updates at all). Will definitely let you know if I have any thoughts on how it can be improved further.

Hey there!

Wow, thanks for listing us as a “Must Have” plugin! It’s definitely appreciated, even though there seem to be some out there who might disagree with you… haha

Thanks again, and let us know if there’s anything we can do to make it better!
