Here’s a list of the Wordpress plugins I use on this Hobo SEO Blog. Some plugins are permanent, some are being tested. Some are heavily modified, too. 1 or 2 although installed are not active yet.

Wordpress plugins add functionality to the core wordpress CMS we create, design and develop web sites with, if you don’t know.

There are 35 plugins used: 29 active plugins and 6 inactive plugins.
