Even though I’ve only been apart of the WP community for a short time now, I have absolutely fallen in love with the plugins. So far I have installed 10 and counting. For those of you who are still using Blogger, this post won’t be of much use, but if you ever do decide to make the switch, these 5 plugins are a must-have (at least for me that is).

1.

2. TweetMeme Retweet Button – Adds a retweet button to your posts so that your visitors can retweet your posts to their twitter friends.

   This is what it looks like on my blog:

   

   Wow, someone actually retweeted my post.  I’m so excited, this is my first retweet, (can you tell)?  Woohoo! (Continue Reading)
