Other Stuff WordPress is great, it makes it easy for anyone to put up Web pages; which after all is what a blog on the Web is.
A problem with WordPress is that, by default it doesn’t do much more than that, that is, be a simple, boring Web page. The default theme and settings are what used to be called “serviceable” but they are hardly attracted or compelling.
A great thing about WordPress is that you can really customize it with one of the thousands of plug-ins available.
I feel like I’ve went through all of the plug-ins even as I know that isn’t true but I have found 17 that I use in all my blog, at least I am using them now; I’m always on the lookout for new or better ones.
So if you’re ready to pimp your blog then read on because this time I am going to go through 9 really sweet (and free) plug-ins that will help turn your plain vanilla, white toast blog into something to strut about; I’ll do the remaining ones next time.
