Best wordpress plugins and themes
The best wordpress plugins and themes are really what is best for you and your site but will need a few of the basics to get your blog optimized for the search engines:
- xml sitemap of some kind. There are a few out there.
- Spam filter – Akismet usually comes with wordpress.
- Related posts – keeps people reading about related topics
- sociable – to add social bookmark symbols to your posts so that people can book mark them.
- twitter to update your twitter feed automatically
The best word press themes I think are the ones with two columns and the smaller one on the left hand side which is the old website standard. Why? Because it creates more focus on the content and the ads if you want people to click on ads or buy products. The busy 3 column templates are usually too much information and people miss the most important things. It also makes you think about what is most important.
I am actually still trying to find some nice two columns with the small column on the left.
