When you start a blog (or even when you’ve been blogging for awhile!), there are a sea of options for making your blog do things. WordPress plugins, like apps for your blog, are what we use.
Whether you want your blog to be found by search engines or to make your content more shareable, the best WordPress plugins have these three things in common:
They do what they say they do, and they’re easy to use.
They’re lightweight – meaning they don’t take up lots of resources on your servers and slow down your website.
They “play nice” with other plugins…so they’re less likely to cause a conflict and mess things up on your blog.
