Top 10 Wordpress Plugins I Recommend

January 14th, 2010 by admin Leave a reply »

Some of you asked what Wordpress plugins I use or recommend. This is the list on ones I use or have used on this site. I do have many other sites I run, and I use different plugins on them. It really depends on what I need to accomplish on that site and which plugins have new releases when Wordpress upgrades their system to a newer version.
