You’ve set up your blog with WordPress and you’re pretty happy with how easy it is to add new posts, add images to those posts, and publish them to your site. But now what? You might think that it would be nice if you could notify your Twitter or Facebook followers when you make a new post on your blog. What about website security? Perhaps you’d like to start a podcast for your site. What do you do with all this spam and how do you make sure your site is backed up in case anything happens? There’s an answer to all these questions (and even more you didn’t ask): use plugins!
