WordPress plugins are plug-and-play applications you can insert into your blog to perform a certain task automatically. Plugins can do almost anything you imagine from creating a simple contact form to managing an online photo gallery. Here’s the roundup of new WordPress plugins worth checking out.

Thorough documentation will instruct you on how to create a dynamic area anywhere on your website in minutes.
InComment
Do you ever wonder how people stumbled upon your website? InComment allows you to see which page attracted people to your site, in essence showing you the path they traveled to reach you.
