Ever wanted to see a group of plugins with similar functionality go at it in a head to head battle? BattleOfThePlugins.com does exactly that except the visitors decide with their votes as to which one is the best. The plugin with the most votes is considered the champion of their respective category. You can probably guess what the problem is. The best plugin is not decided on functionality, code quality, compatibility, etc. Instead, it’s decided upon by votes which in my opinion, makes the site and the winners useless for anyone who may be looking to find out which SEO or site analytics plugin is the best. However, what the site does is show the community who has the most popularity when it comes to plugins and especially, plugin authors. So, a little bit of fun can be had in a site like this but for anyone seriously looking for the best, this site won’t help you find it.
Plugin Battles – Really Just A Popularity Contest
PremiumThemes.net Club Membership Winners
Last week, thanks to the help of BHavesh, I was able to offer readers of WPTavern a pretty cool deal. Five PremiumThemes.net club memberships. The only thing you had to do was tell me how you would use WPTavern.com if it were in your hands. The post received a number of comments and in fact, a couple of ideas mentioned I’m going to try and aim towards.
Each comment was given a number. Since there were 38 unique comments, the numbers range from 1-38. The winners are as follows:
- RGregory
- Jon Shaw
- Benjamin
- Brian – CodeClearly
- Marlon Burrows
I will be emailing Bhavesh the email address you folks used when submitting a comment and he should be in touch with you regarding your club membership within the next few days. Thanks again for your ideas and a special thanks to PremiumThemes.net for not only offering up a cool prize package but for embracing the GPL as well.
To the winners, feel free to contact me to show me how you’ve put the membership to good use.

Now it’s time to open the voting booth to allow you to choose who you think has the craziest upgrading story. The poll is open for a week which is when the winner will be chosen.
