WordPress 2.7 has so many improvements than some plugins that was used before this version has became irrelevant. The 2 most notable ones that use to be very popular before WordPress 2.7 are the Threaded Comments and the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin.
The most impressive or should I say advantageous factor in using WordPress as your blogging platform as compared to others, is the enormous amount of plugins available. Every single plugin is unique in it’s own way though many have similar functions. Of course some are really top calss that every blogger should use and some are really lame and writen just for adding mor fun to your blogging experience. One really good example of a fun type plugin is the “Hello Dolly” plugin that comes in default with every WordPress Installation.

The downside is of course, all html formatting like links and images are automaically excluded when using post excerpts. While the exclusion of the html formattings are not a bg loss, as your readers will click on the “continue” link to finish reading what you have posted, the loss of images within those short excerpts makes your homepage very dull and boring.
