The other day Karen from Blazing Minds did a post on her Blogging Wire called Why I Enjoy Guest Posting on Blogs. It prompted me to write this long overdue guest post and I’m quite pleased that she offered a guest spot.
If you’re a new blogger just getting started you might not know what plugins are or how where to get started. For starters, read my post called So You Want To Be a Blogger before you dive in. Basically, using a plugin is a way to include additional functionality to your blog. Plugins help you customize your blog and give it some personality.
Since Blazing Minds is one of my favorite blogs, I thought that I would show you one of my favourite Wordpress plugins. Watch this video I created to see how to configure the plugin.
I hope you will add this WordPress plugin or you might want to make some tweaks if you have it installed already. If you want to see more plugin tutorials, please let me know in the comments and I’ll try my best to get it done.

This may sound dumb but I really just wanted to say hello to each of you. I often come by a blog and don’t have anything to say but feel bad because I know people go out of their way to comment on my blog. So Hi and nice job on the video and post
The reason I did this is because it happens often so I just wanted to say that I do visit blogs I just may not say anything at the moment

Plugins are so powerful little things, and I say little because they don’t take a lot of disk space but what they can do is impressive. Thank you for this tutorial and I hope to see more posts like this from you!

I recently installed sexy bookmarks myself and love that plugin. Prior to this I was using several other plugins with similar functions, but they didn’t seem to integrate just as well into my blog. I just didn’t like the look of them. I love sexy bookmarks!
Nice video as well. Thanks!
