It is a rare day when one of my newsfeeds doesn’t have some ‘top 10 WordPress plug-in’ postings. Amd much of the time I pass them by. But this one from Computerworld caught my eye, and the Dagon Design Form Mailer plugin will actually help me meet a request from a client. So if something makes me money I guess it is pretty worthwhile. And speaking of money remember that when you use plug-ins, even ‘free ones’, for commercial/paid projects you owe a contribution back to the plug-in developer. Many developer sites offer some type of optional, contribution-type payment. While writing a basic plug-in isn’t too difficult, it does take quite a bit of extra effort to package it and make it flexible enough for public use. A little kick-back is more than fair.
10 free WordPress plug-ins make blogging better
A content management system (CMS) is a common way to organize data and tools, and WordPress is one of the most popular CMSs. One reason for WordPress’s ubiquity is the availability of over 4,000 plug-ins, offering Webmasters seemingly endless ways to expand and customize their blogs.
