John and Marcus, you guys have a fantastic show. Unlike any other. I have a running list of plugins I need to try, all of which I learned about from your show. You really do save tons of time by highlighting plugins that I might have never known about. I also appreciate how you briefly cover the latest wordpress news in the beginning as well. Keep up the good work! If I could put in one request, it would be for you to add a page on your website that lists the top 10 or 15 plugins by category. Because as time goes on, the plugin recommendations you make often get lost in the pile. But if you had an ongoing ‘Best plugins by category page’, it would help a lot, since it is harder to go back through the archives and find recommendations from way back. But other than that, fantastic job! Thanks for all of your work!

First of all I’d like to say that you guys are awesome and I’ve been listening to your podcast for more than a year now. For me, I don’t listen to get plugin recommendations, but instead I listen so that I can get ideas on what plugins we over at Gambit can create in the future, and also what cool stuff other people have created.

CBX Dropbox File Chooser lets you insert your media directly from Dropbox. Just install the plugin, activate, setup the API key and you’re all set. Just go to post edit screen, click the Dropbox button and you can insert a file from Dropbox directly into the WordPress post editor. The chooser button appears right next to the “add media” button within the WordPress TinyMCE editor.
Publishing Checklist is a developer tool for adding pre-flight editorial checklists to WordPress posts. Each time a user saves a post, Publishing Checklist validates that post type’s list of tasks to make sure the content is ready for release. Tasks are validated with callbacks you supply when creating task templates.Rating: 5 out of 5Digest Notifications

With this plugin you get a daily or weekly digest of your website’s activity. The digest includes New Core Updates, New comments that need to be moderated, new user sign-ups and Password resets by users. Everything is included in one clear email report.Rating: 5 out of 5
