Some of you might know me from my other blog, Elliott Back dot COM, but for those of you who don’t, I’m just another blogger who writes plugins for WP when he’s bored. Unfortunately, the ones on my main blog are either (a) out of date or (b) not maintained. They’re also impossible to find, since they’re not categorized into their own little group.

That’s where WP Plugins (this site) comes in. We’re a place to aggregate, test, and maintain all the Wordpress plugins you love.

As I migrate and upgrade each of my old plugins, they will inherit a unique site url, so they’re always in the same place. No more version 0, 1, 2, 3 in five different posts with an emergency patch on the sixth. One plugin, one location.

To get you guys started, here’s a brand-new treat: WP Pingdom. Pingdom watches your site by periodically downloading a page and recording how long it took to access, whether the page is up, etc. Most people use it for downtime, so we wrote a Widget that will let you display your up/down time live on your blog. Check it out, it’s in our sidebar!
