By Stewart M. Russell

WordPress has gone a long way towards making web page design and owning a blog something that anyone can do. It is easy for anyone who operates a website to install, and has many dozens of useful plugins available to expand it's functionality.

You should take a look at the SEO all-in-one pack, a plugin for WordPress. It provides sections for post title, description, and keywords, which allow you to get faster, better exposure to internet users by getting your blog posts listed correctly with major search engines, such as Google and Yahoo.

If you want your blog spot to get discovered quickly, it might be a great idea to use a WordPress plugin such as Bookmarkify. On the surface, it is a simple addition which adds only one thing to your blog posts: the ability for reader to recommend the post to others via popular social media bookmark sites, such as Technorati and StumbleUpon.

Have you ever seen a blog site that used a tag cloud? That's usually a list a keywords located in the sidebar, and lists the keywords used for each post, as well as those used for the entire website, with special emphasis on the keywords that are used the most often. At first, this utility may not seem very useful, but your readers will find it a fantastic to follow up on items of interest.

Admin Meta Links is an excellent plugin designed to help site editors and administrators edit and verify posts and web pages alike. Simply click the link on the sidebar, and you can instantly go from viewing mode to edit mode, making it possible to quickly proofread and test new items added to your website.

Take a look at this website I accidentally wandered onto last week. It will help you get the most from your blog spot. By understanding what is being done with the latest plugins, you can get a great idea of how the blogosphere is evolving, and participate in making it all happen.

WordPress has revolutionized the way people create and maintain a website, making it easier for bloggers to blog, and for webmasters to set up exciting new web pages. In addition to the beauty of WordPress itself is the large community of plugin designer who develop the tools they most want to have available.
