In order to gain some very useful functionality within his theme, the following plugins have also been bundled into the zip file. Of course, this will please some and upset others. To be honest, I do not think that including plugins with a theme is a problem, but if you do not like the idea, then I guess this theme is not for you. For those who do not mind using plugins, simply follow the installation instructions for their inclusion on your site.
In total 9 plugins have been bundled into the zip file:
Four are required:
1. Contact Form 7 v2.0.6
2. Search Unleashed 1.0.5
3. Twitter for WordPress 1.9.7
4. WP-Cumulus 1.22
And the remaining five are highly recommended.
