Having plugins in your blog is like setting up linking switches to the main electricity supply in your apartment. You can run wires around the house so that electricity can be supplied to different parts of the room, but you still need to connect a switch to turn it on and off. It is an indispensable electrical gadget.
Basically, when you set up a wordpress blog like this one, you have to include the necessary elements not only to help your readers to find ways around your website, you also need tools to help you manage your website better. We are reminded that the internet is a gigantic and enormous web, information arrives and gets send off in every way possible and it amazes us how a simple click of a button will result in exactly the kind of information we have been looking for. I shall explain about the wordpress plugins that I have used in a series of posts.
SOCIALABLE PLUGIN
If there is a purpose to life, it is definitely to meet and get to know what other people do around the world. How we do that sometimes require us to travel through time and places to meet these people. Yet there are so many social hangouts that it is impossible for us to be present in many places at any one time. So to spread the word of our message, we need to use social buttons. These allow readers to send your post to the social place of their choice. The one I am using for this blog gives me the option to choose where I want my posts to be if readers where to send them.
Sociable which you can choose to download for free at Yoast.com
If you browse to the end of this post, you will notice a number of coloured (faded) buttons. They will lead you to bookmark or send this post to readers related to the buttons you choose. So if you want to bookmark them in your google account, look for the google button and click on it. If you are interested to send it to twitter, you find the icon ‘t’, click on it and follow the instructions given. Easy and quick.
You do not need to have a website like this one to make a social bookmark. You do, however, need to have an account at the social site to which you want to send the social site.
