-**Textpattern** has a bit more of a DIY-feel that Wordpress, not just in that it feels less slick and corporate, but that it feels easier to hack at it! A thing I'm really starting to appreciate is the ability to add //forms//, which are just chunks of HTML you can insert where you want, including passing in whatever attributes you setup.

-Browsing their [[software:Github]] issue tracker probably was the deciding factor in trying this particular CMS, because they had recently moved to stop including any third-party links. So nothing to block in my ad-blocker :3 No JQuery, no Google/AJAX, no FontAwesome---

 ===== Plug-ins =====
 Plug-ins I'm using, or just curious about.
-  * [[github>drmonkeyninja/arc_youtube]] - Youtube embeds.\\ I ended up wanting my videos included within the ''<figure>'' element, so I've my own in //form// form ;3 (see above)
+First part of plug-in name denotes author.
-  * [[https://stefdawson.com/sw/plugins/smd_tags|smd_tags]] - Textpattern has a weird two-category-per-post limitation, but this (and some other) plugins are a good workround. This was easier to setup that [[https://www.rainskit.com/reference/497/trutags-usage-instructions|tru_tags]], so I've stuck with it.

+  * **[[https://plugins.textpattern.com/plugins/smd_textile_bar|smd_textile_bar]]** - Adds a bar above the writing area so you can easily add bits of [[Textile]] markup. Can configure to use whatever snippets you want.
+  * **[[https://plugins.textpattern.com/plugins/etc_pagination|etc_pagination]]** - Better UI for finding pages.
 ==== Adding ====
 An interesting thing about Textpattern plug-ins is that to install them you just copy a bunch of plain text into a field in the GUI.
+==== See Also ====
+  * https://plugins.textpattern.com/ - Official plug-in repo. Small.
+  * https://textpattern.org/plugins - Old plug-in repo. Much larger.
