Just Begining 2 [End]

This post is the continue from the first one. After configuring the option I installed some additional plugins. Here the listed plugin that I think more useful to be used in first after intalling wordpress, check it out!

1. Akismet (default plugin)

Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. You need an API key to use it. You can review the spam it catches under “Comments”. To show off your Akismet stats just put <?php akismet_counter(); ?> in your template.

If you’re a wordpress.com user you can get the API key for free :D take your API key on your WordPress.com profile.

2. Platinum SEO Pack

Complete SEO solution for your WordPress blog.

This plugin to help you costumize the SEO for your blog, usually I prefer to use the most popular one called All In One SEO Pack, but for this new blog I prefer and use the Platinum SEO Pack as it has a few more options, I just want to explore the feature of this plugin that many people say AIOSP don’t have.

3. Google XML Sitemaps

This plugin will generate a special XML sitemap which will help search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.com to better index your blog.

Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site. More detail on sitemaps.org

4. WP-PageNavi

Adds a more advanced paging navigation to your WordPress blog

This plugin will help us to paginate our blog easily. :)

5. WP Prevent author impersonation

Prevent author impersonation in WordPress comments, base on http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/prevent-author-impersonation-in-wordpress-comments/.

This modification to WordPress prevents unregistered comment authors from using the names or email addresses of the registered authors on your site.

IMHO that’s all the plugins that most important to be used for your first wordpress intalling. For the next additional plugin why don’t you check it on WordPress Plugins directory. ;)

One more optional plugins that I found from maseko is LikeButton.me, and should be there’s one plugin that work fine for it called JP-Facebook (Adds a Facebook ‘Like’ button to any page on your blog).
