To a lot of people starting a new blog can seem like a gigantic task. And not that it isn’t, it is. You have to worry about hosting it, what theme your going to use, what content to post, signing up for the half-a-gazillion things you might or might not need, ads, and, those plugins. Well to make your life simpler I have compiled a list of the top 16 wordpress plugins.
I think these 16 are great for making your blog more functional, and user friendly, in a faster time. {No guarantees, individual results may vary.} So, without further ado, I give you the top 16 WP plugins. {By the way, did i mention these are all free?}
