What is a plugin?
By Mike | December 31, 2006
If you use Word Press for your blogging platform a plugin is a script you can add to increase the functionality of your blog. One of the things I really like about Word Press is the number of plugins that are available.
You can find plugins to create your site map, add Technorati tags, input audio or video, control comment spam and literally hundreds of other things.
Because Word Press is open source anyone can add things to supplement the base platform. The vast majority of plugins are open source and won’t cost you anything. I do recommend that if you find a plugin you really like please donate to the author. Most have a donate button on their site. The vast majority also support their work quite well.
You can spend lots of time searching out and finding plugins to do almost anything you want. The best place to start your search is at the Word Press Pugin Data Base. After that a quick search of Google will show you hundreds more.
