Naomi – this is a great compilation. Thanks for posting all this.

I’ve played around with all kinds of widgets and in the end am never sure whether I’m doing the right thing or now. Even for what should be simple twitter-related plugins, there are so many widgets which do similar things, yet don’t always work as expected.

On the page describing the Great Real Estate plugin, it mentions quite a few other things that should be installed with it too. Do you also recommend these?

I’d be interested in leveraging this or other things like it in order to put up property pictures. I’d like to figure out how to do a good investor website (e.g. selling properties, but because I own them, or are marketing them, not because I am the listing agent for it) but somehow a lot of the realtor-targeted WP themes have a different flavor than what I”m going for. Do you have experience with other plugins similar to great real estate, and can you provide some comparison?

Thanks in Advance!

I forgot to add that the Disqus commenting system is an awesome addition that allows to have a better flow of comments on your blog. I finally was able to get Yet Another Related Post Plugin to work on my blog! Yay!

Hi Jeremiah! I love the Contact Form plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-contact-form/ as well! I hear you about certain plugins not working well with your theme. Chart of the Day works well with my theme but Yet Another Related Post doesn’t. I will have to check to see if the updated version has made any difference.

Naomi,

Great post. I would also recommend, “Yet Another Related Post.” and a contact form. I presently use most of these. Tried the Chart of the day, but can’t get it to work with my theme.
