We could all sign up on Poker Stars.net (play money)... Nothing like playing with play money.. heh! I do enjoy Poker though - my favourite is Texas Hold 'em and still play in a $5 buy in a house poker league with friends every few weeks. I got a Poker table as a present last Christmas - I'm a bit of a poker nut I'm afraid... :) Thanks Chris – I agree!

So we'll call it an honourable #16. I didn't include them in the "must have" list because I know that those on wp.com can't install plugins on their blogs in the way we can on our hosted wp. And I've no idea what the deal is on blogger. I think you can blog without plugins (just) but you are limited with what you are able to do to extend your blog. Being able to extend my blog functionality beyond the basics is one reason I moved to hosting and I'm constantly amazed at the array of plugins being developed. It's easy to become a "Plugin Junkie" though! I've been planning to do a post on the plugins I am using on Like It Is... one of these days :). Glad you like the Top Commenators - I think it's a nice way to show case people who do comment often :) Rirath – A few plugins certainly can’t hurt. in fact I’d say they are quite important.

That Top Commenter list, though so simple, is also very effective. Looking through the list once more… perhaps an honerable #16:

Mmmmm... Sigh, I'm hooked on this place now. Am I the only one thinking Chris, Brit, and myself need to get some sort of blogging poker night going? :) Yes… your praise feeds my hunger… Mmmmm…

It's credit to all of you, but it felt good putting it together. I realize that I read blogs that follow all of these. And a Blogging Law isn't a bad idea either :) Thanks Chris and Jannette!
