First Five plugins To Install After Installing WordPress

WordPress blogging platform in increasingly becoming the most popular blogging platform nowadays.It is not uncommon seeing newbie bloggers starting their blogging career under the WordPress platform.This increased trend in the usage of  of WordPress may probably be due to its flexibility and many other advantages which is off the shore of this post.But the big question is ,is installing WordPress just enough?,or better put ,is installing WordPress just what you need to get you started and going?The answer to me is no,so in addition to your already installed WordPress,there is equally the need to need to spice up your WordPress with plugins and also protect them from potential hackers.

There exist a huge collection of plugins in the WordPress directory to protect and to spice up your WordPress blog.If you just found yourself installing WordPress or you had rather prefer to make an amend to your already existing plugins,here are my preferred top five plugins for a cool blogging experience.

Better WP Security

It is recommended that you take active measures to secure your blog  immediately after the installation .This is to prevent against possible attack from hacker which are on rampage.There are lots of them on the net.A quick search on Google will give you tons of these security plugins.Even though there are so many SEO  plugin available,my favorite and favorite WP security plugin is Login lockdown plugin.This plugin tends to limit the number of possible login by a way of locking out users if  login with wrong details is too many times.
In addition to that,another active measure you can take to secure your WordPress blog is to remove the default  admin account.This you can do by creating another account with admin privileges.

Back up plugin

You probably may have read about the importance of backing up and how to back up your WordPress or even blogger blog.No matter how much you try to protect your WordPress blog ,it may some day be hacked someday.The second possible active step you can take to to secure you WordPress blog and to save your days of labor is to always make backups of your WordPress files and data base.WP-Db Manager is  a super good plugin in for your WordPress backup

Google xml Sitemap

Sitemap is one is the basic seo tip that is often neglected by many bloggers.One of the many benefits of  a sitemap is for easy navigation for both humans and spider bot,thus increasing your search engine visibility ,ease of crawling and a corresponding  increased traffic to your blog.A well recommended site map plugin is a Google xml Sitemap This plugin will generate a special XML sitemap which will help search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo and Ask.com to better index your blog.

Anti Spam Plugin

One of the problem i encountered when i first moved my blog from blogger to WordPress was that of spam comments awaiting my approval.You would know you are in for a big mess if under  24 hours you get nothing less than 300 non relevant comments  awaiting your approval.
After trying out several anti spam plugins,i finally settled for Askimet ,No SpamNX and Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin.Though these plugins  did not stop spamming completely,but was  reduced to the bearest minimum.

Mobil Plugin

Its been reported more than half the number of mobile phone users access the internet with their mobile devices.As a blogger you wont want to leave your potential blog reader out of circle.To effectively mobilize and optimize  your WordPress blog for you mobile readers,the mobile plugin directories  is full of plugins that can serve that purpose.I highly recommend the mobile press and the verve mobile plugin.
The Verve Mobile wordpress plugin automatically detects if the visitor is using a standard mobile phone or a smart phone and loads a compatible wordpress mobile theme for each. This plugin is one of the first to differentiate between a standard mobile phone and a smart phone

I hope you love these plugins.These are only my recommended plugins.So feel free to add your most preferred plugins below
