Plugins are cool bits of programming scripts that add additional functionality to your blog. They offer new addition to your blog which either enhance already available features or add new features to your site.
Plugins extend the functionality of WordPress. The majority of WordPress users don’t require Plugins, or only require a few, such as Plugins dealing with comment spam or customized post listings. Other users enjoy the varied options Plugins provide such as frequently updated weather reports, post word counts, rating systems, and more. Since the choice in Plugins is vast, and chosen based upon the needs of the user, they are not incorporated into the core of WordPress.
WordPress Plugins are designed by volunteers and are free to the public. Plugins listed in the sources below have usually been thoroughly tested and considered “safe”. But remember, Plugins are the responsibility of the author and the user, and they are typically works-in-progress as WordPress grows and expands.
If you want to develop your own plugins, there is a comprehensive list of resources at Plugin Resources.
