WordPress Plugins

What is a WordPress Plugin?

A WP plugin is some code that you add to your website to add more functions to your website. There is a huge selection of them available, many are free, and some cost money. Don’t be alarmed, I know just the mention of “code” is enough to send you running.



Never fear, using plugins is a very simple process, just a few clicks and you are ready to go. Awhile ago, I wrote about seven “must have” plugins . You can read all about how to install them there. You will probably find others you want to use as time goes on, the process is the same.
I have had questions about how to add a set of icons for social media to your website. By that I mean the buttons for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and lots more.  The good news is that there are quite a few plugins that provide an easy solution. One of my personal favorites is “Social Profiles widget”. All you have to do is go into the add new plugins and search for it.
