Syntax Highlighter

也就是Google Syntax Highlighter for WordPress。 一款帮助开发者/coder 发表代码片段更加简单和漂亮的插件。完全基于javascript。这个我没试用过。wefunction.com 使用的就是这款插件，你可以看看效果页面。非常强，支持以 Plain Text 方式浏览代码，支持快速剪切和打印。首推这款。

Highlight Source Pro

强大，灵活，Xhtml 兼容的代码高亮插件。很上面的Syntac Highlighter 正好相反，它是一款服务器端的代码高亮插件，没有Javascript。

iG Syntax Hiliter

非常强大的代码语法高亮插件，支持多种代码语言，包括as, asp, c, cpp, csharp, css, delphi, html, java, js, mysql, perl, php, python, ruby, smarty, sql, vb, vbnet, xml, code。同时包含详细的后台设置项，比如以Plain Text方式看代码, 显示代码语言名称，是否高亮留言列表中的代码，是否显示行数等。

不过它使用的是[tag]代码部份[/tag] 这样的方法渲染代码，比如 [php]代码片段[/php]，考虑日后可能发生的更改和兼容问题的话，似乎不太适合。当然，你也可以不用考虑那么多。

WordPress Code Highlight

这是比较早的一款WordPress 代码高亮插件了。使用简单，功能也相对贫乏一些。适合要求不多的用户。

Cool Code

这是国人根据 Chroder.com 的 WordPress Code Highlight 插件修改而成的WordPress代码高亮插件。但 CoolCode 插件在它基础上修改了很多的内容。支持10多种语言代码，详情看作者的发布页。

WP-CODEBOX

WP-CODEBOX 代码高亮插件也是国人开发的，支持多种语言、代码下载、复制到剪贴板、代码框收放及后台默认属性设置。相对Cool Code，它的好处是使用标准的<code></code>标签。不过，这个插件似乎是对WordPress Code Highlight 修改而来的，主要就是支持了CODE 标签以及美化了一下样式。

WP-Syntax

WP – Syntax 以< pre lang=”php”> 代码内容 < /pre >这种形式来实现代码高亮，即保留了标准的HTML标签，又实现了美化效果。可以说是兼容性最好。

These 10 WordPress plugins add features that will help you to engage your user base.

Highlight Your Best Content

1. Featured Content Gallery – If you’re not an expert in programming or design, Featured Content Gallery makes it easy to highlight images, posts, or pages anywhere on your site. It comes with a sleek and contemporary design that is fully customizable through the WordPress dashboard, so that you can integrate your highlighted content seamlessly with the rest of your site.

2. Popularity Contest – Your users will want to know what’s popular and interesting to their peers in the community and the Popularity Contest Plugin can help. It keeps track of the most popular posts and pages on your site and acts as a leaderboard that directs users to the most active content in your community. You can customize the point values assigned to user actions on the site, such as comments or views, and display the results easily in a widgetized-sidebar.

Facilitate User Engagement

3. Viper’s Video Quicktags – Including video in your community is easy using Viper’s Video Quicktags. Just enter the URL of the video in the prompt box and see a preview of the video right on your screen. Then specify the dimensions and other customizations you’d like to add and see your final product before saving it into your post. Supported video sites include YouTube (), Google Video (), Vimeo () and others.

4. WPtouch – Part of keeping the community vibrant means letting your users take it with them. You can go mobile with your community using WPtouch and avoid building a mobile website or the costs of developing an iPhone application. You can control the mobile user interface by allowing the browser to automatically route users to the interface of your choosing — your site or the WPtouch interface, which looks similar to an iPhone app. You can also show or hide post excerpts and customize the icons and general appearance of your mobile site.

5. Disqus Comment System – Nothing stops a potential commenter in their tracks faster than having to set up a user ID and password in order to leave a message on your site. At the same time, most of us would like some sort of authentication process we can use to identify and correspond with other users as we develop our communities. The Disqus Comment System allows users to engage with your site using their Twitter (), Disqus (), Facebook (), OpenID or selected other accounts. This prevents users from having to set up new accounts while allowing for authentication. Bonus: the Reactions feature allows you to include the social component of user feedback into your comments.

6. Customize Your Community – Customize Your Community (CYC) provides some useful options for those building communities in WordPress. It allows you to re-brand the WordPress pages for registration, logging in/out, and lost passwords, as well as the user profile pages. In addition to giving your community a standardized look and feel, CYC helps with a long-standing navigational issue in WordPress: it automatically directs “subscribers” to their profiles and bypasses the WP backend entirely.

Measure on the Fly

7. Clicky () – While Google Analytics provides you with a long-term perspective on your site metrics, Clicky gives you instantaneous feedback. The dashboard includes traditional site metrics, but also offers cool features, like “Spy”, which pinpoints the location of current visitors on a map. It’s an easy way to get a snapshot of your site’s current activity and, in conjunction with Google Analytics (), gives you a comprehensive overview of your site’s activity.

Improve User Navigation

Breadcrumb NavXT, the successor to Breadcrumb Navigation XT, improves your site’s navigation by building this kind of virtual breadcrumb trail for your users to follow. This way, users will know where they’re located on your site. This plugin may require customization, depending on your theme; check out the Advanced Options section of the plugin’s homepage for additional instructions.

Monetize It!

9. Advertising Manager – If you were previously using the Adsense Manager plugin, you’ve probably noticed that it hasn’t been updated in a while. That’s because it has been succeeded by Advertising Manager, which is recommended unless you are using WordPress version 2.5 or earlier. The renamed version supports a broader group of ad networks in addition to Google AdSense, such as Adify, AdBrite, and several others. It also imports your AdSense Manager settings, for users of the previous plugin.

10. WP125 – Do you prefer a more hands-on management style for your advertising? WP125 allows you to do everything from arranging the ad display so that it fits your site design to setting timelines for ads (they can be removed automatically or manually at expiration). It also provides a placeholder for empty ad space, which you can switch to your own customized version.
