This week I taught a workshop in FL for PLAN on WordPress. I was asked what Plugins I use/recommend so I thought I should share a list. I went through all of my sites and grabbed the link from the plugins page that said ‘Visit Plugin Site,’ but I recommend searching the WordPress Plugins database for these and installing them from there.
Depending on the type of site I use all of the following on my WordPress sites:
- Akismet: http://akismet.com
