———————————————————————-
If you don’t have a [tag]Wordpress[/tag] blog you can get one here: http://www.wordpress.com or http://www.wordpress.org. You can host a Wordpress blog on wordpress.com for free or you can download the software free at www.wordpress.org.
Plugins in brief:
A [tag]plugin[/tag] is software code that is “pre-coded” for you so that you don’t have to know programming or to make programming much, much easier. Most of the plugins I use, for Wordpress, require no programming experience at all and can make your website easier to use, more interactive, visually stunning and way cool.
Many of these plugins will work with other blog software if you can acquire the correct versions.
If the don’t make one for your blog software you probably will be able to find similar ones if you search around.
You may see most of these plugins in action on my website: http://www.mustech.net.
The list:
Sidebar Widgets- A must have! Makes plugins even easier! Required by some of the other plugins listed here.

wp-notable- Allows you to add [tag]social bookmarks[/tag] to your blog.

TIP: Wordpress widgets will not work with every Wordpress theme. You must have a “widget enabled” theme for them to work properly.
