Just an update…I have since started using Joost’s “Sociable” plugin – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sociable/ – rather than the aforementioned “AddThis Social Bookmarking Widget”.

@Rich Ramos:

I haven’t taken the time to review any WordPress Plugins yet, but I intend too someday. I use about 56+ of them. It’s completely necessary because if you change your theme, you’re screwed.

I learned this the hardway after heavily modifying themes and then wanted to change to something else… :(

Here are my thoughts on Firefox plugins for HTML development. I think these are helpful even for WordPress development. Still a website, ya know?

Thanks for sharing! :)
