Thanks for commenting and glad it worked as we said it would. If you like the new "Favorites" function, but would like to have the ability to install multiple plugins at once (as Sarah said in her article on that new function), then you need to check out <a href="http://pluginbot.com/" title="PluginBot WordPress Plugin" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">PluginBot</a>. <a href="http://wpmu.org/problem-solved-install-and-activate-multiple-plugins-at-once/" title="Article on WordPress PluginBot" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Here's an article we published</a> a few weeks back on that and it works very well. It takes the "favorite" function to a much more usable solution if you install a lot of plugins and want to do it with just a few clicks. Sarah and I both agree that the favorites function needs the ability to install multiple plugins without having to go back to the search screen. Goodday Angelopc.

It's sweet! Quick and easy and does exactly what you said it would! Also made it a "favorite" at WordPress.org (for use with Favorite Plugins - another one of your best suggested plugins).

It looks like it the plugin is set to display below the post. The ability to either place it above post, bottom of page, or in a widget would be nice. Also, the ability to customize the error being reported. One error report that would be very useful is if a Video Embed is no longer playing. This is a common problem for sites that embed YouTube videos into their posts.

But, I like it equally as well. One of the things that it does is something that has already been suggested to the author of this plugin - the ability to tell "what type" of error or suggestion, plus some additional information if you want to add it. These types of plugins would be very helpful to someone writing in a language that is not their native language so that native speakers could help them state things correctly. When I worked for a French company, I learned very quickly that just because it translates to "goat skin milkbag" doesn't necessarily mean that is what it really is. (BTW, the French word I'm mentioning is actually "bladder" or "membrane" in English. An author's willingness to accept this type of input makes them "approachable" by their readers and can create a very friendly atmosphere on their website. I also like the idea to turn it ON/OFF on a per page/post basis. I would probably set it up as a "Default" for the entire website and then the ability to reverse that with a checkbox on any page/post rather than a shortcode that you had to insert every time. But, either way would work great. Thanks for commenting and sharing that article; I certainly wasn’t aware of Edit Huddle. But, I like it equally as well.

The ability to use it only on some specific pages/posts would be great (for example with a shortcode). Sorry for my limited English. Another similar plugin/service is this one:
