This page lists my top pick plugins for websites of particular types. There are also plugins here that you can install on your website to save yourself time in installing these other plugins. Check off the ones you want, click a button, and they are all installed and activated, saving time compared to searching for them one by one.
NOTE
If you have the book One-Hour Author Website, don’t use this plugin — there’s a better tool for you, described in the book, which installs plugins and also configures them and creates pages and menu items, to let you hit the ground running.
