After you install WordPress, your blog is ready to go. Before getting started, you need to add a few plugins to give your blog more functionality. The plugins can do a variety of things for your blog like: increasing SEO, adding site navigation links,  and adding social media elements.  

·        Cystats – use this plugin to study your analytics. It will show you how many people visit your blog per day, keywords used to find your blog, and the most popular posts on your blog. Definitely a keeper!

·        Date Exclusion SEO – use this to remove the dates from your blog. This is important if you want your blog to be evergreen. Evergreen means it is relevant regardless of the year.  So if someone visits your site in five years, they will see the content (because of no date present) as valuable and not discount it because the date says 2011.

·        Google XML Sitemap – Creates a helpful map for visitors who want to see what content is on your site.

These are just a few of the plugins that are absolutely a must when setting up your blog.
