DJ Image Slider
I was looking for a vertical image slider and I found this from a forum post. I do not recall seeing it in the extensions library.

But what a great extension. Very easy to handle and very easy on the eyes.
Thank you.

Google Site Verification
Either it is broken. I am an idiot. Google changed how they do business.

All are possible but the end result is a waste of time. No documentation is a big hurt on any component. Especially when there is a problem.

Go to http://www.google.com/webmasters

Add site
From 'Alternate methods check' 'Add a meta tag to your site's home page'. You will see string like this
bqOIVM_zb7knpvdNWKn875BSqgkfUJI3s

Put 'GcEtFHfjF3bqOIVM_zb7knpvdNWKn875BSqgkfUJI3s' to your Google Site Verification plugin

Hope this will help

Easy Frontend SEO
For original idea and actual functionality, I give this 5 stars. I would like to know why the display is off. If anyone has any ideas... It displays to the left and on top when I am logged in. Not like in the video.
Otherwise, great plugin. I now have control without going nuts trying to make changes.

Core Design Captcha plugin
Though it looks promising, after installing the first plugin and discovering the need for a second, things were OK. Then, the first plugin would not recognize that the second was now installed and enabled. I'm sure the solution is a simple one that the designer will give us (here) but this does no one any good when we are trying to set this up. And I am certain that the average Joomla user will be lost. Give this extension some time before jumping in unless you have the time and patience to deal with surprises.

LinkBuilder
Great Idea. Just remember to refresh before you do the C&P test. Meta data option may give odd results but it works perfectly.

Presentation Slider Slim
One of the few truly "out of the box" mods I have seen lately. Very easy. And it was perfect for what I need it to do. Funny, I did not know I needed it until I saw it. Works awesomely in JA_Purity_ii mega menu. Nice effect.

Perfect!

Smart Former
I like the drop and drag feature. This makes many other similar apps look bad. This is a very useful and well built extension. Thank you.
I do wish the form could be placed like a regular module. Or simply the HTML code so that it could be placed in a custom mod. I am trying to put a simple contact form in a mega menu as a mod.
I also like the CSS right there when you are creating an object. Nice touch.

FishEye Menu Camp26
Great looking flash menu. Very easy right out of the box and also easy to configure and customize. This should be core feature. It will also work as a limited photo gallery with linkable images.
Nice.

Template Toolbar
My hat is definitely off to you. Nice use of ingenuity. Rarely do simple things such as this make one smile.

I like the automated function in this extension that sends an updated e-mail of my scheduled events to all user. I do have a wish though, I wish I could eliminate the events that have already taken place from the mailer. The extension will not drop old events from the mailer. This makes for an ever-increasing newsletter. I have configured J-Events as thorough;y as I am able, but the newsletter does not have such functionality. Even using the start date, which would need to be updated each week anyway, the older events continue to appear. If this were not so, this would be an overall excellent extension. As it is, it is very good.

JEvents
After reading some of the reviewers who have had problems, I would offer some advice...set up any new component "as is out of the box" before messing around with the parameters. Too often we envision what a component "should do" for us rather than what it is designed to do. Get it working first and then slowly make changes if necessary.
This component is an example of the excellent work done by hundreds of hard working people from every nation. And it shines as an example of how to get things done. Great work!

Ozio Gallery
I saw a demo of this a while ago. I have not seen anything even close since.
Very easy to install and once you get past the upload of photos (actually very easy once you read the short tutorial).
What EYE CANDY! this thing is.

Thank you OZIO.

BIGSHOT Google Analytics
I almost doubted myself. I was literally wondering to myself if ANYTHING I have done so far could possibly be this easy. Nice.
Download, install, C&P code from Google, Have a cup o'joe.
Thanks Bigshot.
Xmap
This is an excellent extension. It installs and does it's job in the simplest and easiest task I have yet seen in Joomla. Then, copy the link in preferences to Google etc.I hope to see more user friendly documentation in the future.

I am not the sharpest tool so I has the link wrong and the files in the wrong folder and the wrong extension on the pdf.
Use images/stories/pdf/...your bits.pdf and you can not go wrong. Unless you rename the pdf files and forget the .pdf.
This is a beautifully simple plugin. It's we humans who need some help.
fck editor, toggle "source" button and use .. in html and you are good to go.

JCE
Please don't be offended, but the reputation that was JCE Editor may be now suffering from over extending and trying way too hard. Sometimes a major scale back is needed to get back to basics. This is a great editor. It's very capable but some of the issues are better suited for the experienced user. We newbies just have sites to build and maintain. The issues can stop this show cold. Think simple.
