So you’ve written some WordPress plugins and now you want to let your readers know about them?
The WP Download Counts plugin lets you do just that. It adds a sidebar widget which retrieves a list of your plugins and displays them along with the current download count (updated every 15 mins) and a link to each plugin’s listing in the WordPress Plugin Directory.
Features include:
<ul>
<li>Minimal configuration required – just a title and your WordPress username </li>
<li>Plugins listed in order of the most-downloaded first.</li>
<li>Plugin information cached for 15 minutes to minimize overhead</li>
</ul>
