I was looking for something that would limit characters in the CP.

Step forward MD Character Count. Can’t believe nobody mentioned this on the forums when I asked.

@Ryan: How about a top 10 LG addons post – You have over 20 to choose from!

@Paul, thanks for that nomination – I wrote the list to be a helpful resource, and I’m glad that it has been.

@Leevi, I thought about expanding my post to include more than 10 extensions (on account of you having written so many good ones), but decided my post would be too unwieldy.

I wanted to include NSM Publish Plus, but felt it wouldn’t get a fair shake unless I tried it out first (it costs more than a cup of coffee ).

Other honorable mentions of Leevi’s are the LG Addon Updater and the 3 extensions that allow Moxiecode’s TinyMCE and image/file managers to interface with EE.

Ryan Masuga originally wrote the add sitename extension. It says so in the docs so full credit goes to him.

I rewrote it and added some features that I needed way back in the day including variable replacements and server time.

There’s over 20 other ExpressionEngine extensions / plugins / modules on my site so don’t forget to check them out!

Great little list – some I had not come across and I have been using EE as long as you!

Gypsy is the one I will try first – I love using custom fields but not being able to cherry pick what each weblog needs has made for some complicated IA on some sites I have built.

Agree with Chris about Leevi’s Add Sitename extension – Visual logos are much better than a name – this is especially important when using Multiple Site Manager!
