Name: Videoplug Plus
Author: EdB
Description: This plugin is NOT something new. It is an upgrade of the 'official' videoplug plugin. What I did was got it to embed videos from 11 different sources and put in an admin panel that lets "the admin" say which sources are allowed or not on the toolbar. You also get to set a parameter that causes the videos to scale to match your skin.

Something not so easy is that lots of sources must use the "embed" code due to how that's the only way to get the video's width and height parameter.

Videos embedded with the real version of videoplug will still work - as long as you have that source enabled on your plugins settings page.

Please don't comment here as no one monitors this space. In the forums or on my blog works much better :)

Name: Auto Forum
Author: EdB
Description: Basically this plugin acts like a pinger to automagically create a phpbb2 forum post about your blog entry. The forum post will have the blogger's preferred name in the subject, and the permalinked title in the message. Pretty slick eh?

The hardest part will be figuring out the server path to your forums. After that the rest is fairly easy.

Enjoy!

Name: Killer Bees (aka blogger avatars)
Author: EdB
Description: I guess I could have called this "YAAP" because it is Yet Another Avatar Plugin, but hey what's in a name right?

This plugin is a knockoff of AstonishMe's AM Custom Profile plugin. What it does is allow your bloggers to upload an avatar and create a signature block. The admin has to allow "user directories" for it to work, then each post by the blogger will show their avatar and signature block.

Mostly good for multi-user blogs?

Name: TuringTest v246
Author: EdB
Description: About time I had TuringTest listed as being for v2.* eh? The same plugin exists here, but it says for v1.8 and v1.9.

This is a very simple "challenge and answer" where you get to ask your commenters (or message form users or registrants) a question they must answer correctly. If they don't you will be able to give them a hint and let them try again.

Name: Post To Myspace
Author: Jaromy Russo
Description: Have a Myspace blog? Have a b2evo blog? Wish you could somehow sync the two up without cutting and pasting?

Post To Myspace is a plugin that allows you to add a "Post To Myspace" link to your blog. This effectively allows you to copy/sync/duplicate your blog post on b2evo to Myspace using the "Post To Myspace" API provided by Myspace. It's not as automatic as importing an RSS feed, but currently it's the only way currently to import blogs into Myspace.

Additionally, you can allow readers to also post the content to their own Myspace blogs.

The plugin is implemented as a b2evo widget, which allows you to add it to any skin container via the Back Office control panel.

Name: ShareThis Widget
Author: Jaromy Russo
Description: ShareThisWidget is a plugin that allows you to add a ShareThis link to your blog. It is implemented as a b2evo widget, which allows you to add it to any skin container via the Back Office control panel.

This plugin is based on the original port of ShareThis, wriiten by Larry Nieves. The main differences are:

• Layout flexibility - You can add a ShareThis link anywhere to your blog skin using BackOffice widgets and skin containers
• ShareThis link is added to every entry (post) in your blog (cannot add on a per post basis). However, if you have multiple blogs you can choose which blogs show the link (again by adding or removing the widget). If you need to be able to selectively add the link on a per-post basis, then you should use Larry Nieves original ShareThis plugin (see link below in Credits section).
