So maybe you are just beginning steps in the "blogging arena". Or it's possible you've been doing this for a while and are simply looking for different, suggested plug-ins. At any rate, if you're a "wiz" or not, plug-ins are necessary to the format of your blog. What's even better, are plug-ins that are completely free. So let's start here, exactly what is a plug-in? A plug-in, by description, is a collection of software components that offers specific skills to a even bigger application. Quite frankly this, it's a function that improves a larger project- your blog is the larger mission.
Initially when I first started out blogging, I had not a clue what plug-ins were, what their purpose was, or exactly how they could make my blog superior. Now I know. I use these plugins on quite a few, if not all, of my blogs and sites (18+). They have proved helpful, and continue to work effectively for me and I didn't have to be a rocket scientist to figure them out (which was certainly nice). So here is my list:
1.) All In One SEO Pack by Automattic: Out-of-the-box SEO for your WordPress blog
2.) Bookmark Export by Timo Schlueter: Bookmark Export makes it possible to push your blogs status importing your blog-posts/pages into social bookmarking services
3.) Disqus Comment System by Disqus: The Disqus comment process swaps your WordPress comment system with your feedback published and powered by Disqus
4.) Facebook Comments by James Low: Replicates comments from your imported Facebook Notes back into your blog articles
5.) Keyword Strategy Internal Links by Keyword Strategy: Keyword Strategy link generator plugin
6.) Pinterest Badge by Arun: Adds Pinterest contact marker widget to your web site
7.) SEO Slugs by Andrei: Eliminates typical text like 'a', 'the', 'in' from blog post slugs to improve SEO
8.) Shareaholic by Shareaholic: Shareaholic adds a (X)HTML agreeable list of social bookmarking icons to each of your posts
9.) Ultimate Follow Me Plugin by Free Blog Factory: Tired of the complicated and bulky "follow me" plugins for WordPress? Showcase any or all of your Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, youtube, and buzz profiles with your personal choice of button design
10.) W3 Total Cache by Fredrick Townes: Significantly increase the speed and buyer experience of your website. Incorporate browser, page, and object and database caching as well as minify and content delivery network (CDN) to WordPress
If this is your very first time looking into plugins, or your not 100% what to do; before you begin writing a lot of content, it's recommended that you ensure that you can use these plugins using the theme you chose. So download the plugins first. When you're in your site's "backoffice", go to "plugins" to the left and choose "add new."
