Webhosting provided by HostRocket
I use many webhosting companies in my line of work. And none are better than HostRocket. I have had many occasions to request the help of the technical team, from setting up site certificates to upgrading my PHP version to figuring out where I screwed something up. In all cases their response is on target, solved the issues, and quick. I have not had the same positive experience with other hosts. Use HostRocket for your next hosting need — you will not be disappointed.

Auto-Hyperlink, Scott Reilly, aka coffee2code, http://coffee2code.com/
- This plugin seeks to address certain shortcomings with WordPress’s default auto-hyperlinking function. This tweaks the pattern matching expressions to prevent inappropriate adjacent characters from becoming part of the link (such as a trailing period when a link ends a sentence, links that are parenthesized or braced, comma-separated, etc) and it prevents invalid text from becoming a mailto: link (i.e. smart@ss) or for invalid URIs (i.e. http://blah) from becoming links.
