Alex King's 404 Notified plugin would send RSS updates every time there was a 404 error, but it doesn't look like it's still supported or works with WordPress 2.3+ About the 404 thing, you might want to check out AskApache Google 404.

Even though I explain in the post why I didn't do that, I will try and get to that today. Thanks for your interest in the plugins. Again, I recommend all of them. @ everyone: I had a few requests to make the urls clickable. Even though I explain in the post why I didn’t do that, I will try and get to that today.

Now I get it. It saves your readers going to broken or dead links. I thought it told you the 404 errors on your own pages that would be more up my alley! Still, this is a good plugin.

SEO Pack is cool for keywords in the header but the native tag system and excerpt works just as well. I do run it though. Broken link checker ... I can imagine usefulness but perhaps you could enlighten us. Possibly to create .htaccess 301 redirects? I will check that one out. Enforce www is included in WP native 2.7. You just make the blog domain in preferences with the www and it does all that automatically. Self pings is an excellent choice. Revision control is news to my ears. What does it do? Thanks for your comment. @Joel: Great ones mostly. SEO Pack is cool for keywords in the header but the native tag system and excerpt works just as well. I do run it though.

It is excellent spam relief though. supercache scares me for some reason. I like the page to reflect my current changes. I mentions Google sitemaps in the post. perhaps yours is a better incarnation? Let us know if so. Thanks for the comment Justin. @Dragon Blogger: I left out Akismet because it comes standard. It is excellent spam relief though. supercache scares me for some reason.
