Top WordPress Plugins You May Not Have Heard Of
If you have a WordPress blog, or actually any blog that uses plugins, you probably already know how useful they are.
With just a bit of research you can find a plugin for almost anything you want to do.
Well, they still don't have a plugin that makes a decent cup of coffee! What are the top plugins? With the thousands of plugins available, picking a list of top plugins is nearly impossible.
People, especially bloggers, have their own opinions and preferences.
Then there is the matter of using themes and assorted plugins.
The themes may disagree with a plugin, two plugins may not work well together.
So any list of plugins is only a list of personal preference.
However, here are some great plugins that are not heard of, but are rather popular.
