WordPress is the best CMS till date and will always be on top. Our love for wordpress increases daily as we continue to find the hidden secrets of it. I decided to post awesome Free WordPress Plugins which we are using on Appointy Blog.

For our blog, we wanted plug-ins which can achieve the following:
1. Can update social networks as soon as we post them.
2. Can track people.
3. Can help our readers to re post them on their social network profiles.
4. Can help our readers to comment and get updates as soon as someone else posts a new comment.
5. Can block spam.
6. Can make it mobile friendly.
7. Which allows us to schedule appointments with our clients.

Here is the list of Plug-ins (in alphabetical order) which helped us to achieve our target.

1. Appointy Plugin – We are a customer centric company and helps each client to get the most out of Appointy. We use our own product to schedule appointments with clients and does a one on one screen sharing session with them.
