Kevin Muldoon at Blogging Tips has spotted 3 WP plugins that are new to me; one fills a clear need; another may extend WordPress functionality in entirely new directions. Check out his post, 3 New Interesting WordPress Plugins.

Restricted Site Access apparently permits login/password restriction of all or parts of a blog. Assuming there aren’t any security holes – and that server security is adequate – this means there’s no reason that WordPress can’t be used as an online collaboration tool. Litigation, political campaigns, any project with members distributed either in time or space or both could be served by WordPress, merely by giving every team member author or editor rights.

WT Co-authors makes it possible for a post to have more than one author. (On my main blog, Popular Logistics, we’ve created a user “TheEditors” which we’ve used a few times, but which I thought was a clunky workaround, especially since we do collaborate, and because our group of writers/contributors is gradualy growing.

Thanks to Kevin Muldoon, also of Blog Themes Club for finding these; I’m curious as to how he found them. I wouldn’t have thought they existed, so it’s hard for me to think how I’d have found them in the course of the plugin searches I’ve done.
