I can&#8217;t get enough of them. And since I spend rather a lot of time testing and reviewing plugins, I find it rather difficult to curb my addiction at times.<\/p>\n<p>You may not know that as well as writing for the likes of WPMU and other sites, I have my own blog. Often, when I write up a review for a plugin, I first found it when looking for ways to achieve something with <a title=\"Leaving Work Behind\" href=\"http:\/\/www.leavingworkbehind.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Leaving Work Behind<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping the number of plugins I have running on my site to a manageable number is an ongoing battle. I regularly go through the list of what I have installed and try to make an objective decision as to whether or not I really <em>need<\/em>\u00a0them all. Having just done this, I thought it would be a nice opportunity to share the plugins I have running on my blog with you.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<h2>The List<\/h2>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\ntable.tableizer-table {border: 1px solid #CCC;
