6 Amazing Word Press Plugins

I have received a few requests on where to download some of the plugins I use on this Blog via Word Press. Instead of keep replying to each request I thought it would be better to add them into a Blog Post for everyone’s benifit. Here are my top 6 Word Press plugins I use on this Blog…

Related Posts
This plugin automatically matches previous posts you have written that are related to your current post using keywords to find other relevant posts. This plugin is cool as it allows your visitors to browse other content you have written on the same related subject.

Add to
This plugin makes it easy for visitors to add your content to social media sites. You can either set the add to links on the home page, post page or both.

Adsense Delux
This is a cool plugin that a) allows you to add Adsense into your blog posts and b) keeps track of how many times adsense is displayed on each page. If you run adsense, you’ll probably be aware that you can only run the adverts 3 times per page, so this plugin keeps track and only displays the ads a maximum of 3 times!

Akismet
Probably the most used Word Press plugin. Akismet is the best spam filter to prevent spammers commenting on your blog.

Buy me a beer
This is the most recent plugin I installed. It allows you to configure your paypal address so visitors can buy you a beer (or a coffee) using the direct link. So far I have received 2 beers and 1 pitcher! This works far better than just asking for a donation.

Plain Text Paste
You may have noticed a month or so ago my blogs posts were not formatted properly. The sentences and paragraphs were in a mess. This is was due to copy and pasting my posts from Microsoft word into my Word Press admin. Microsoft Word add’s some nasty code that Word Press can not read properly, therefore I need a plugin that could delete the nasty code and sort the posts out as I had written them into word. This plugin does exactly that!
