Plugins increase the functionality of your GW Blogs website by adding features that are not available “out of the box” with WordPress.
For example, to include a form, event calendar, or a slider, you must find and enable the currently available plugin(s) that support that functionality.
Available Plugins
A listing of available plugins on GW Blogs can be found on the Plugins & Widgets page.
