    A plugin won’t help by itself. You’ll need to install a plugin then figure it out then make a lot of edits using that plugin’s features. And in my opinion, it’s just another layer of confusion. You can do anything a plugin would help you do just using the wordpress without a plugin.

    Awesome blog! Do you have any recommendations for
    aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m
    a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a
    free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that
    I’m totally confused .. Any suggestions? Appreciate it!

      WordPress is fine but use your own domain name and be sure you get the secure cert. (https)

      After you launch your site and build it run it through https://web.dev and fix any errors you can.
