Now that I got your attention, let’s jump right in!
Ok seriously, let’s talk about Opinions. EVERY self-hosting WordPress user has an Opinion on the BEST Plugin’s, right? If you’re a WordPress user, I bet you stumble upon at least ONE blog a day that is sharing their idea of the BEST WordPress Plugin and what YOU should use, right?
Guess what?!
What works for them, may not work for you.
Everyone thinks they know best.
Whether it be the best brand of make up, I prefer Covergirl.
The best brand of tampons of maxi-pads, I prefer Kotex and Always.
Or the best dog bones, I prefer Jones Natural Chews.
However, I’m not going to PUSH my opinions on you. I will SHARE what I like or use and it’s totally up to you if you TRY it or USE it.
With that said, I want to SHARE with you, my favorite WP plugins.
CommentLuv
Who doesn’t LOVE CommentLuv! There is a FREE version (this is what I use) and a PREMIUM version. The plugin can be downloaded via the official CommentLuv site or via your WordPress Dashboard.
I LOVE this feature! Why? Because when someone comments on one of my blog posts and leaves their blog post link using my CommentLuv plugin, 150% rest assure, I will definitely be making a visit to the Commenters blog via that link!
If there isn’t a CommentLuv link, then I have to refer to other means to visit their blog, however by having that little bitty link, it’s enticing people, just not the blog post Author, but even other Commenters to visit YOUR blog via that link.
Growmap Anti Spam Bot Plugin
Do you know when you visit someone’s blog and you see that little empty box that says “Confirm You Are Not A Spammer” or something similar.
YES! THIS IS THE PLUGIN!
I can not stress to you enough how much I LOVE this Plugin and how much SPAM comments is has saved me from getting.
Growmap Anti Spam Bot Plugin is an awesome tool imo that I’ll never giveup!
Jet Pack and Jet Pack Extras By Barry Carylon
Jet Pack is a given on my WordPress blogs. There are so many plugins that you can activate within Jet Pack AND it’s by WordPress itself! There are so many FEATURES, I suggest you check the plugin page itself to view them all. My favorites: WordPress.com Stats; Notifications; Publicize; Subscriptions; Likes; Sharing along with Jet Pack Extras By Barry Carylon; Contact Form; Shortcode Embeds; and Mobile Theme.
All I might add, are highly effective for ME. You may remember my previous post about Jet Pack Extras By Barry Carylon, Get The Recognition You Deserve via @YOURNAME, so I won’t address that one again.
These are just a few of my favorites that I use daily and/or when absolutely necessary. This is always one of my first installments to my series on WordPress Plugin’s. Stay tuned cause there’s more to come!
You can also read my previous installments:
- Get The Recognition You Deserve via @YOURNAME
- Disable and Protect What’s Yours (however, I no longer use this one because I love using Right-Click to SHARE my posts)
Now I turn it over to you.
Do you use any of the above plugin’s and if so, how do you like them?
If you’re not using any of the above yet use a similar, care to share it with us?
Lastly, if you’re not using any of the above and decide to TRY it on your blog, please come back and share with us how you LIKED or didn’t LIKE the plugin.
