Add Custom HTML button
This plugin is about the most handy thing I have added to my Joomla installs in a while. It is very useful to place some code I add to every article, now with the press of a button. Many thanks for this great plugin.

MetaMod
It really is as good as everyone says. It is hard for me to think about Joomla now without MetaMod Pro installed. Support is everything you could ever ask for and much more. Thanks Stephen.

Scrolling Share Button
This is a really nice plugin, updated every few days by the developer as he adds new features and fixes.

I had been using a small row of social bookmark buttons at the end of articles for over a year, and I am fairly certain that they had never been used, not even one time. I know when I see a line of bookmarks at the bottom of a page, my eyes slide right over them.

The Scrolling Share Button has multiple effects, and is highly configurable for many sites and functions. After installing it using the tweetmeme and facebook share buttons only, the numbers started to take off. Fantastic solution for the site.

Thanks Eddie84!

SEO Canonicalisation Plugin
Wonderfully simple and straight-forward. No more messing with htaccess. Hooray for Sam! :)
ReReplacer
I had filed ReReplacer in the back of my mind for a time when I needed it - then was at my wits end for a couple of weeks until I remembered. Fixed my "little problem" in about two minutes.

If there is no other way, ReReplacer is the ultimate way to get rid of generated code that is making your life miserable. Don't make the mistake I did. Download and install it today, for when you need tomorrow.

Thank you, Peter!

Core Design Ajax Pagebreak plugin
Its increase in performance is remarkable.

But it has another benefit. If you are able to use the Joomla native SEF URL setting and Apache mod_rewrite, your already pretty friendly URL is never broken by the ?start=1 etc. You have a fully SEF URL without a SEF rewriting extension: yoursite.com/category/no-extra-stuff-added. This does not change when you go through the pages.

Note, when you hit your browser back key, it will take you to your category landing page, rather than the previous page. Page control previous/next/number still function as usual. This works for me personally as an end user.

Thanks for writing this great plugin with an unexpected bonus!

obShortcuts
It is interesting how the extensions I value the most tend to be relatively small and very specific. This backend extension is so practical and useful. It saves me time and motion, and those are both in short supply for me. Thanks for this excellent addition.

Works so easily and displays so nicely! This adds such a professional look when you absolutely must use a PDF on a site. Thanks so much for having a solution to my problem.

Editor Switcher
Not every extension has to be gigantic to make a gigantic difference. This plugin does just that; I switch back and forth between two editors everyday as each has functionality the other lacks. Now, I just choose from a drop-down box while editing and article, and I am into the other editor! In the course of a week, this saves me time, the one resource I have very little of. Thanks so much for this time saving plugin.

Smart Blog
After investing a large amount of time and money with another solution, I discovered Smart Blog and my problems were over! :)

As others have noted, there are always features we would like added, but...I was able to customize the component and module to get it exactly the way I wanted in about an hour. And more importantly, it is a native 1.5 Joomla component, not a port, which means even if you have just an average working knowledge of Joomla,
you are in familiar territory.

Setting permissions for who can and cannot blog and controlling pagination are important features that need to be added to Smart Blog (again as others have noted), but I was able to work around the permissions issue by some simple tweaks and other practical access functions with only a small amount of effort. Pagination control for the landing page is still a bit of problem for me.

I am greatly looking forward to the next version, as Aneesh has been listening carefully to the many suggestions users have made on the support forum.
