Every web guru will tell you that having a list of your best posts readily available for new visitors is important to attracting new readers. Unfortunately, creating and updating that list can be very time consuming. Best Foot Forward is a WordPress plugin that I wrote to take some of the grunt work out of creating those lists and get you back to writing.

With the Best Foot Forward widget, you simply tag your top posts with a specific keyword (like “favorite-september-08″ or whatever you prefer) and then tell the plugin to show all posts tagged with your keyword. When you want to add a post to the list, you simply add your keyword to the post’s tags. This means you can create “best of” lists on the fly without wasting time creating and formatting lists of links.

WordPress 2.6.X now saves multiple revisions of posts, and Best Foot Forward was updated to version 1.2 to stop those revisions from showing up in your sidebar.
