I currently have the Sugar Slider and it is awesome! It is easy to install and easy to setup. Nice list of plugins here…
I am concentrating more on the back-end and its versatility and these themes have given me a more efficient and effective perception of putting on more plug-ins.. ^_^
I found this page searching for wordpress plugins for a design I’m working on. I knew of Flipbook but thought it was for joomla so I was amped to see it for wp – it will be perfect for the design I’m working on. I didn’t realize these were also the best selling wp plugins – I’m not surprised!
