    What about people who are Chrome lovers and WordPress lovers?

    Or Chrome lovers and WordPress users?

    ;)

  2. Good Post! I personally use Jetpack a very great plugin!

  3. Love it! really like the idea of “Delectable” I manually add to a resource section links now, this could be a great way to auto add them!

  4. Nice compilations. Remote Press might be my favorite.

  5. I’m a Chrome and WP lover. These plugins are so great. Thanks Sarah.

  6. Great compilation.
    I really love ScribeFire. Writing WordPress Posts without being logged in saves a lot of worktime.
    But there are some other plugins, which sound very useful.
    Thanks for that.

  10. Some new extensions that I had not found before. Will be giving Blog Security a look over for sure! Thanks for the list.

  11. Thanks for this extensive list. I have noted a few of the links down and will have a look at them. I’m particularly interested in ‘Blog Security’ as that is always a problem with WP sites. One needs to ensure that your blog/website is secure from hackers. I can remember that my blog was hacked once and it was a nightmare to correct, I do not want to repeat that again.
