2012 Free WordPress Plugins

Gene — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 22:18:28 +0000

In this article, I'm going to be sharing about some of the most commonly used plugins for many of the WordPress sites that I have built. In case you aren't familiar with plugins, it allows you to add extra functionalities to your WordPress website. The plugin directory has thousands of contributions but not all of them are useful for your site. In fact, some are poorly coded, others may contain malicious spyware and some are no longer updated. Determining which ones to use can be daunting at times and may require a lot of trial and error. Below is a short list of my favorite and most used free plugins.
