As we considered the big impact this event had on our coaching clients and students who are serious about their business, we realized that the most valuable thing we could do for you our customers is publish my "Best Plugins For 2012" list for your blog.

Here it is! Grab a pen and paper, open up your dashboard and let's get moving!

My best suggestion to you as well is to follow this path when updating plugins.

#1- Be sure you are running on the latest version of WordPress, being WordPress 3.3.1

#2- DISABLE all other plug ins before adding anything new

#3- Disable your cache plugin

#4- Install the list below

#5- Reactivate Cache Plugin

#6- Only after successfully installing these would I go back and add anything else.

NOTE: If you are NOT currently running WordPress Version 3.3.1 please listen to THIS Mp3 recording from our Forever WP Community RIGHT NOW and make sure you upgrade. DOWNLOAD CALL NOW- http://arealchange.com/wp2class/WP3.3.1.mp3
