Wordpress plugins are just that easy
Plugins are useful - and easy to install in Wordpress. I’m sure that many bloggers have several plugins installed - and I do too. I’ll give a short and concise list of what plugins I have and why they are useful.
Akismet
Definitely the staple plugin for all Wordpress bloggers - this anti-spam plugin just stops spam dead in it’s tracks. If I couldn’t live without one plugin, it would be Akismet.
Dofollow
I’ve talked about the dofollow plugin earlier - it’s a very good plugin that basically forces my agenda on my blog - I think that links should be counted by Google - as long as they’re not spam.
This is a great plugin! I don’t like to hotlink my images, so I just hot link them, run hot-linked image cacher, and then boom! My images are now locally hosted.
This automatically updates my Facebook profile and feed with a thing saying “Edward has posted a new blog entry” - linking to my blog on here. This helps me get a few extra visits.
“Yet Another Related Posts Plugin”
Interesting name, right? I think that having a “related posts” section really helps increase pageviews on a blog - and I wanted a good related posts plugin. Unfortunately, the plugins that I found were either too complex, or didn’t have enough customizability. I found the perfect match with YARPP.
