Muse's Success

I’m making this topic as a place to share WordPress plugins that we feel would be useful to other web fiction authors.

Web Fiction Table of Contents Sidebar Widget

Please post other plugins that you feel that web fiction authors would be benefit from.

I use two plugins, mainly.
Enhanced Recent Posts which is basically the same as your table of contents sidebar, except a little more general.

And List Category Posts which I’ve found extremely useful to use for actual table of contents pages. I just didn’t like how Wordpress viewed category pages by default, and this helped a lot. Plus, you can organize in what order they show up.
here‘s an example of it in use. You can also configure the options with how the list shows up. Display the date of publication, modifcation, author, etc., etc. In short, very useful.

Wow, that TOC thing is GREAT!

I just got hold of   Custom post limits  which allows you to show, say, one or two chapters on your initial page, but more on searches, archives, etc.

Handy for feeds and includes elsewhere.  And for keeping a tidy front page while allowing unfettered browing around.

Figured I’d put this here in case there are lurkers:
I also use Menubar which is pretty much a must have for navigation on pages, and a plugin Chris actually enlightened me to: Organize Series. I use it on chapters of my story so I have simple previous and next buttons. They also have ‘category pages’ which are similar to the ones List Category Posts can produce, but I like the control I have over List Category Posts. Still, Organize Series has its (very nice) own place.

Here are the ones that I use:
Better Comments Comment responses from the dashboard
KB Advanced RSS Ability to tweak the RSS display
Progpress Progress meters
Last Post Modified Shows modification date
and Samarsin PHP widget, that seems to be missing a site at the moment.
