Plugins are part of what makes WordPress great. Because it’s open source, WordPress allows for developers to create plugins to add extra functionality to a website.

But which plugins should you be using?

There are so many plugins out there, sometimes it can be helpful to look at lists of plugins that others use.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be posting a series of my recommendations for the best WordPress plugins in various categories:

• Design
• Social media integration
• Comments and visitor interaction
• SEO and marketing
• Administration

Hopefully they will inspire you to get exactly what you want in your site.

Enjoy!
