In the Booming Business of Blogging Experiment, I’ll be using WordPress to publish this blog. WordPress is very easy-to-use with great functionality straight out of the box. But, with a very active WordPress community, there are many ways to improve and add features to WordPress with the installation of plugins. To help others find their way through the maze of hundreds of plugins I’ve created a list of absolutely essential WordPress plugins for beginners.

At times it does seem to be a never ending cycle of making changes to the stylesheet or theme pages, installing plugins, bit more tweaking of page layout, install more plugins, have an aha moment before modifying stylesheet again. It’s a pretty steep learning curve but it is really exciting. The more you learn the more you want to learn. I think I’m slowly getting addicted to blogging.
