Plugins are the most important element of making your blog a great success.BUT,the plugins must be the suitable one as unsuitable will always find you a lot of troubles.I am going discuss what is a good plugins,how you find it and how you can use it to create fabulous result for your Wordpress blog.
What Is A Good Plugin?
RULE#1-A Good Plugin Never Mess Up Your Wordpress Database
Some “unique” plugins like(um..I won’t tell you,find it yourself as I will be sued) have “special powers” to make your Wordpress database go corrupted.Besides,some crap will make your blog to load slower than the tortise.I have found and tried using plugins that sucks.The best way to get quality is to follow this set of instructions:
- Go to www.wordpress.org/extend/plugins
- Click on the popular tags on the left sidebar
- You will see a “What other people are saying” link and check on them.(More links means it is more preferable)
RULE#2-The plugins is not shareware or other things else.
It is really not advisable to use paid plugins as it is not worth it.Besides that,Wordpress is an open source project under the GPL license and so all the plugins should be made open source too.Brian Gardner is a good role model as he changed his excellent themes to open source.

Akismet
This is one of the plugin that comes preinstalled with wordpress.What it really does is checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if are they really spam.But you will need to register with Wordpress.com(be careful-I said wordpress.com) to receive an api key to make it alive.
