Chapter 10- Plugins Posted on 2016-08-18 by Caroline Bokman

So many plugins, and I may never know everything every one of them can do, but breaking them down into categories helps, so when I'm looking in a category, I have many options to chose from, and as I play around with them that way, I will learn what they each can do/ how to use them.
