Part II – Magazine Style Themes
To continue our discussion of my favorite Wordpress plugins, today I’m going to tell you about some plugins that work well with a magazine style theme. What’s a magazine style theme? A theme where the home page is arranged differently from the interior pages of the site, in that it shows excerpts from many different “sections” of the site. Some examples that I’ve designed would be:
• The Business Image Journal
• Linwood Farms HOA
• Long Island Community Fellowship
These themes pull posts and other information from within the site to the home page as “teasers”, just as a magazine or news site will do. The following plugins help your Wordpress magazine theme to function more smoothly, and help you control the content more efficiently.

Part I – Engaging Your Visitors
I’ve blogged before about the “10 best” plugins for Wordpress. And I still stand behind the ones I chose in that post. Of course, we no longer need the Wordpress Automatic Upgrade (since that’s now built in to the newest versions of WP), and I have to admit, that I’d probably remove Event Calendar, and replace it with WP ListCal, but that’s only because I use this one much more often than a calendar these days-it puts events in a list rather than in a tabled calendar.
While my list in the other post was basically a “you really should have these plugins” type thing…this post is more of a “you may not need these right now, but I LOVE what they do” list.
As I create more and more custom Wordpress themes, I am challenged to find plugins that perform exceptional feats!
