   There are more; a whole lot more and it is up to you to pick and choose which one meets your blogging needs, but I would recommend doing the following:

•  Upgrad your WordPress version (and the plugins) regularly,
•  Back up your Data Base  if the plugin requires it (no kidding here, you will thank me later),
•  Stick with which version of WordPress is compatible up to or experment at your own risk!
• And if any plugin gives you errors on your pages;  try a similar one OR you  live Without it!

  Keep on Blogging!
