These plugins are available for you to use on your blog. Plugins modify or add functions to your blog, often by the addition of a menu option or widget.
Activate a plugin in the Plugins sub-panel of your admin menus. It’s a good idea to activate only the plugins you will actually use; de-activate plugins you decide not to use.
