The Lowdown;

Well off the bat I dislike sites that won’t let me create an account with my own email and force me to only use social media. Well one day i believe they will regret that decision.

It is pretty decent on what you can do if you find a list on list.ly you like you can simply add it with a little short code to your site all in all not too bad.

The Lowdown:

This plugin allows you to craete a grid display pretty simply just start choosing your filters from the categories and on down the line until you get what your after. The base plugin offer 3 options for display grid, a colapsable list and a scrollable list. If you opt for the premium version or the extra options there are a few more ways to display. Once you create your display get the short code and display anywhere your short code will work. One problem I did find was that it does not support custom post types.

The Lowdown:

This is a simple yet effective plugin for WordPress beginners. It does one thing and that is to help you find some basic plugins essential for good functionality. While many of the plugins they have chosen to list and promote would not be my first choice they are however still good plugs and will work well for the beginner when setting up their site.

WP Documenter

Instant switching between user accounts in WordPress. This one helps to save a bit of time when switching between different users, for whatever reason. It is much easier than having to log in and out all the time.
