So after almost a year now of using WordPress I thought it was time to write up a list of my favorite WordPress plugins that are also used on this site. I have used many free ones, and recently have purchased others, but I think I have landed on the list I will continue to use for some time moving forward. Many thanks to those that have made suggestions. There was of course the massive amounts of trial and error that also went into this for sure. So below is my top list of plugins and I hope you find them useful as well. This is just the basic list I did not want to get all boring with describing them all. You can pull them up and read for yourself, but the names are also pretty self explanatory. This is just meant to be short and sweet. Maybe I will add some reviews, but the fact I use them and are telling you I use them is endorsement enough I think.
