WordPress Plugin Collection Collection
WordPress plugins. You gotta love ’em.
No, I mean it–you have to love them. I’m not going to let you leave until you do. Sorry, I know it sounds strict, but this how we learn. Now go sit in the corner until you love WordPress plugins.
I’m just joking–of course I know you love WP plugins as much as I do. You’re frickin’ plugin crazy! Why else would you be reading this blog post, right?
You and I are going to be revelling in our mutual adoration for plugins a lot here this year. And we’re also going to be checking out a lot of them…and a lot of compilations of them.
While I will talk about individual plugins in time, there’s nothing quite as juicy (and deliciously distracting) as a nice fat compilation that’s been put together by someone with real knowledge and love for the plugins he or she is highlighting. The 7 sweet compilations featured here are just a glancing swipe at the vast universe of plugin compilations that I spoke of in my ode to plugin people–but they are a glancing swipe that could easily take over your month, or wildly advance your site, or both. Hopefully both.
