17 WordPress Footer or Header Bar Plugins that you can use

Seen that Digg Bar on Digg website. Well I have been trying or rather say thinking of adding a bar of that sort on this Blog. But I have not been able to get what I really need actually. All of these bars give you certain good functionality but they all have their own pros and cons. I am not going to go into too much of depth for each one of them. I will leave that part for you to decide which one to use. For me none of them worked. I think I would have to develop one of my own plugin. I have been thinking of getting rid of these social bookmarking icons for the first and then think about adding some more features of the plug-ins listed below.

Here is the list of Plug-ins that I could find on the web.

  1. The WordPress Bar
  2. WP-Super Bar
  3. WP External Links Bar
  4. Wibiya Bar
  5. Meebo Bar
  6. Apture
  7. Quick Navigation Panel
  8. Hello Bar
  9. ViperBar
  10. Attention Bar
  11. Easy Heads Up Bar
  12. Notification Toolbar
  13. Quick Notice Bar
  14. FooBar (Premium)
  15. Attention Grabber (Premium)
  16. WP Top Bar
  17. Social Toolbar

Do let me know about any other plugin which serves the same purpose, if you stumple upon one.

Update 1 : Found more; Apture and Quick Navigation panel. Added to the list.

Update 2 : Added Hello Bar in the list on 11 May 2011. I removed the images so that you go and check out and each and every plugin and decide what suits best for you

Update 3 : Added Viperbar which lets bloggers have an email subscription form in the bar. It supports feedburner, awber and many more services.

Update 4 : Found another great post and added some more paid and free header footer bar plugins.

Update 5 : Thanks for the comment DD. I have added another Toolbar, Social Toolbar.
