The term plugin is often used when talking about wordpress content management system.  However, this does not mean that plugins are exclusive to wordpress websites as there are other content management systems that use plugins including Joomla.  If you are unfamiliar with plugins this short article will give you some insight into plugins. 

There are thousands of plugins for adding functionalities to a website.  There is a directory plugin, for example, for building business listings websites.  There is also a recipe plugin for developing a food recipe website that provides information about food menu and how to prepare different dishes.  In fact, the list of plugins is endless and the problem faced by website owners is not whether they can find enough plugins to develop a website but how many plugins they can install on the website.

Every plugin comes with an installation guide.  This informs the user about how to install the plugin and configure the settings.  Some of the installation guides also tend to contain troubleshooting information for resolving conflicts.  All of these are designed to ensure that a plugin is up and running with little effort.

Plugins are very useful both to website owners and plugin developers.  It allows website owners to build sophisticated websites without having coding knowledge.  It also provides revenue for developers of premium plugins.

The only people that tend to lose out from these benefits of plugins are web designers.  With numerous plugins available for “do it yourself (DIY)” service the vast majority of people tend to be less inclined to hire a professional web designer to build a website for them.  Thus, web designs must learn how to develop plugins or change to a different profession.

Like everything else plugins have some drawbacks which users must be aware of when installing plugins.  Plugins can provide opportunities for hackers to gain total control of a website and wreak havoc on it.  Therefore, protect your website by installing the most updated version of plugin.

Is it possible to control activities within these networks? Having legislat
