After I released <a href="http://ariejan.net/2006/11/21/iariejan-wordpress-theme-10/">iAriejan</a> I got some questions about what plugins I run on Ariejan.net. So, upon your request, here is the full listing.

I've included links to all the sites where you can download the plugins.

Note that <a href="http://ariejan.net/2006/11/21/iariejan-wordpress-theme-10/">iAriejan</a> comes bundeled with WP Wetfloor and AJAX Comments.

<ul>
        <li><a href="http://www.mikesmullin.com/2006/06/05/ajax-comments-20/">AJAX Comments</a>
This plugin allows the instant posting of plugins with a nice and sexy AJAX effect. Very Web 2.0ish.</li>

	<li><a href="http://akismet.com/">Askimet</a><br />
Allows the screening of comments for SPAM. This is great in combination with the AJAX Comments!</li>

	<li><a href="http://mightyhitter.com/main-page/plugins/mightyadsense/">Mighty Adsense</a><br />
Places Google Ads on my blog (without editing the theme) in order to cover my hosting expenses.</li>

	<li><a href="http://maxpower.ca/">Adsense Target</a><br />
AdSense Target marks the important stuff so Google Ads match even better with the content on Ariejan.net. This is called Ad Targetting and supported by Google. Invisible to you, but still very nice!</li>

	<li><a href="http://blog.finke.ws/?p=11">FeedBurner Widget</a><br />
Allows me to publish my RSS feed through FeedBurner. This is great for the management of the feed and usage (not user!) tracking.</li>

	<li><a href="http://boakes.org/analytics">Google Analytics</a><br />
This plugin makes use of Google Analytics' ability of tracking visitors on your site. This way I can see how people visiting Ariejan.net interact with my site and which parts need improvement.</li>

        <li><a href="http://blog.igeek.info/wp-plugins/igsyntax-hiliter/">iG:Syntax Hiliter</a><br />
This plugin allows me to easily post different kinds of code like Ruby, PHP and C#. It will show the code properly formatted, syntax highlighting is included and it will allow you to copy it all as plain text! Want a <a href="http://ariejan.net/2006/11/21/svn-how-to-release-software-properly/">demonstration</a>?</li>

	<li><a href="http://svn.wp-plugins.org/widgets/trunk">Sidebar Widgets</a><br />
Actually, I don't use widgets right now. I use a static sidebar. I plan on using it some time. I have it installed for the FeedBurner widget to do its work.</li>

	<li><a href="http://www.siuyee.com/projects/wp-wetfloor/">WP Wetfloor</a><br />
This is a brilliant plugin. It uses Javascript to create reflections of images. It uses the current background colour as a basis and is fully configurable by adding a few CSS classes. Of course, this degrades very nicely on non-javascript clients. You'll just have to miss the eye-candy.</li>

</ul>

Well that's all there is. If you can think of any plugin that I should use (but am currently not using), feel free to drop a comment.

Edit: I completely forgot to mention <a href="http://www.mikesmullin.com/2006/06/05/ajax-comments-20/">AJAX Comments</a>. It has been added to the list.
