 * I just posted a guide for people starting up on WordPress.org and learning how
   to use plugins. It includes my reviews of a few very basic plugins that I have
   used on my site. If you’re interested in learning about how to use plugins on
   your wordpress.org site, please take a look! This is my first Guidespot.com submission
   and I want to make sure I’m providing information in a relevant and easy-to-understand
   way.

 * Please leave feedback in Guidespot comments on that guide. Thanks!

 * Thanks. I like the style (writing style and purpose) of the guide.
 * To me the plugins you selected aren’t the ones I would start with, necessarily.
   They’re fine I guess. I think many new users would be more interested in plugins
   that actually show something on their blog. For example something that pulls 
   in the Weather, or something that displays Popular Posts, Most Commented, Related
   Posts, that sort of thing.
 * So anyway, your own site is [http://shesgotbaggage.net](http://shesgotbaggage.net)
   right?
 * Again, nice work and thanks for taking the time to post.
