Plugins are a simple tool that allows us to improve our blog without knowing PHP . Anyone who has worked with CMS WordPress will know its usefulness. If you have a blog installed using this tool (if you do not know how to do it, you can follow these steps), the next part will install the appropriate plugins to make it work.
In this article we will give you a list of seven useful plugins that can improve your blog in terms of SEO and other features. Some are easy to set up and others not so much, but to install only need to go to the left side of the screen on your dashboard, squeeze in "plugins", "add new" and find the one that most interests you.
Plugins for WordPress: the best tools for your blog
Installing plugins is one of the first things we should do when creating a blog. In some templates they can come some installed by default , but it always pays to check what is installed and choose what works best for us. Keep in mind that too many plugins active at the same time is not good and can slow down the page. Here are some things we recommend:
1. Google Analytics for WordPress. This plugin allows you to easily place your Analytics tracking code. You will not need to dive into the code and copy it in the wrong place. As soon as we have it installed it starts to work.
2. WordPress SEO by Yoast. Files that are downloaded WordPress not adapted to SEO by default. With this plugin we will have a tab on the page where we write the entry to compose the snippet we want, set the keyword and check that the SEO information is optimal. There may be minor issues, but it works best.
3. Google XML Sitemaps. Every blog should have a site map for Google to detect and index all pages. This plugin generates the XML files automatically and easily.
4. Shareaholic. It is one of the most popular and complete plugins on social networks. Allows appear buttons social media at the end of each article and many other features. They can be disabled on certain pages, such as the main one, for example, if you like.
5. CodeStylling Localization. This is one of my favorites. It allows manually translate any WordPress theme . Once installed, we can generate a .mo file in Spanish and we will see a screen with all the words that appear in the code. At his side we can add the translation. The only disadvantage is that, for some themes, it may not detect them.
6. Spam Free WordPress. Like Akismet, it is a system for controlling multiple spam comments coming blogs. A very useful tool to carry out this work.
7. Mailpress. It is a sophisticated system of creating e-mails, allowing us readers subscribe to blog updates and receive in your email, but also creating custom newsletters . It may be somewhat complicated, but it is the most appropriate for this purpose.
