You can add a label to the display of the form and you can even upgrade the plugin to integrate it with other plugins.\r\n\r\n<b>Will CAPTCHA Work in more than just English?</b>\r\n\r\nThe CAPTCHA WordPress plugin can be translated into a number of different languages. Within the wp-config.php file of your WordPress site, you will have to change the language code. Instructions for this simple change are provided from the plugin page. Available languages include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Arabic</li>\r\n	<li>Bangla</li>\r\n	<li>Brazilian Portuguese</li>\r\n	<li>Bulgarian</li>\r\n	<li>Catalan</li>\r\n	<li>Chinese</li>\r\n	<li>Taiwan</li>\r\n	<li>Croatian</li>\r\n	<li>Czech</li>\r\n	<li>Danish</li>\r\n	<li>Dutch</li>\r\n	<li>Estonian</li>\r\n	<li>Greek</li>\r\n	<li>Farsi/Persian</li>\r\n	<li>Finnish</li>\r\n	<li>French</li>\r\n	<li>German</li>\r\n	<li>Hebrew</li>\r\n	<li>Hindi</li>\r\n	<li>Hungarian</li>\r\n	<li>Japanese</li>\r\n	<li>Indonesian</li>\r\n	<li>Italian</li>\r\n	<li>And Many More!</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nJust about any major language is supported by the plugin.

This is one of the most popular plugins for adding the CAPTCHA code to your forms for better security.\r\n\r\n<b>Will CAPTCHA Kill All Your Spam?</b>\r\n\r\nThe WordPress CAPTCHA plugin won\'t get rid of all spam. However, if you currently see a number of spam comments showing up on your WordPress blog posts, installing and using CAPTCHA will cut the number down to nearly zero.\r\n\r\nVery few spammers will take the time to fill out a CAPTCHA form and most of the software available won\'t fill this out at all. Usually, if you have CAPTCHA installed, the spammers will just skip over you. It\'s still possible for spammers to post comments, but it will take them longer and they won\'t be able to use automatic commenting programs.\r\n\r\nIf you use the CAPTCHA plugin for your WordPress site and you set comments to be approved manually, you won\'t have to worry about any spam comments lowering the quality of your website.

Need Websites?</b>\r\n\r\nThe real estate business is very much local, but also very competitive. Keeping up with all the competition means you have to use the latest technology. Real estate websites help customers find you and they help you take advantage of the massive daily searches happening online every day.\r\n\r\n<b>What Benefits do Real Estate Websites Provide?</b>\r\n\r\nA real estate website offers a number of possibilities and benefits. As an agent or a full-fledged company, you gain all types of leverage by having an online presence. Here are a few of the benefits you will gain.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Online Calling Card - So many people are making decisions online about everything from where to eat dinner to who they will trust with finding the perfect house for their family. You need to be a part of the online revolution or you may be missing out on potential customers and commissions.</li>\r\n	<li>Ability to List Houses - Your website can include a search function with all the homes you have listed for sale. This provides an easy-to-use tool for visitors to find the right home for their needs.</li>\r\n	<li>Trust and Credibility - A website helps provide your company with additional trust and credibility. Often, potential customers want to check you out online before hiring your services.</li>\r\n	<li>Massive Marketing Potential - The online market is huge and taking advantage of it is important. You can use a blog, SEO, Pay-Per-Click and a number of other online marketing methods to attract new business.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThese are just a few benefits gained by having a real estate website. It\'s nearly necessary in today\'s world and at the very least; you\'re missing out on huge marketing potential without a website.\r\n\r\n<b>How Can You get Your Own Real Estate Website?</b>\r\n\r\nGetting your real estate website is very easy. If you\'re an agent, you may want to register your name as a domain to use for your website. However, if you run a real estate company, you will want to get the company name as the domain name.\r\n\r\nOnce you\'ve registered your domain name, it will be time to build your real estate website. This is a task you can hire a professional to handle or you can take on yourself. It depends on what you want out of your website and the experience you have with web design.\r\n\r\nIf you can afford the expense of a professional designer, it\'s a great idea to hire one. This will save you time and ensure you get all the features you want out of your website. Some of the features to consider include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>A Blog</li>\r\n	<li>Home Listing Search</li>\r\n	<li>Community Profiles</li>\r\n	<li>A Responsive Design - Makes it viewable on Mobile Devices</li>\r\n	<li>Agent Profiles</li>\r\n	<li>And More!</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBuilding a professional looking website isn\'t the hardest thing in the world, but if you don\'t have the time, you may want to hire a professional. This is an important task because your website will represent your company. If it looks cheesy or poorly designed, your customers may think you don\'t sell very many homes or provide the type of service they desire.\r\n\r\n<b>Hosting is Vital to Your Success</b>\r\n\r\nBuilding a new real estate website starts with hosting. You need a trusted company that can give you everything necessary for your website. This includes the right hosting package, all the necessary scripts and plenty of additional features.\r\n\r\nOf course, you will also need the best possible support. At ITX Design, we provide three types of hosting and the best support in the business. You can start for as little as $4.95 per month and gain access to all the top features for building your website.\r\n\r\nYour real estate website is a necessity for your business. If you want to increase your bottom-line, a website is one of the most cost effective ways to do it. This is a great way to find new customers and build your local reputation.\r\n\r\nWith the right combination of a website, search engine optimization and other online marketing methods, you can attract many new clients. However, if you don\'t have a solid hosting foundation, your real estate website won\'t matter because it will load slowly and may experience high amounts of downtime.\r\n\r\nDon\'t trust your new real estate website to the wrong hosting company.

This can help with new blog post ideas and with the direction of your blog as well as your SEO strategy.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>Better Security &amp; Performance</h5>\r\nSome of the best WordPress plugins won\'t change the way your site looks or share blog posts. However, they are still very important. Some plugins will help to better secure your website and blog from hackers and viruses. Other plugins will help to speed up the load times of your website, which also provides SEO benefits.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]\r\n<h5>Basic Functions</h5>\r\nWordPress can do many things, but some of the basic functions need a little tweaking for specific projects. With the right WordPress plugins, you can change simple tasks, such as which pages show up in your main menu and what goes in your sidebar. These functions can be customized to fit your specific needs with some of the basic plugins.[/one_quarter_last][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>No Coding Necessary</h5>\r\nMaybe the most beneficial part of using WordPress and the top WordPress plugins is anybody can do it. You won\'t need to do any coding with the help of the plugins. They are easy to install and they will do just what you need without any HTML coding or any other type of coding.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>Massive SEO Benefits</h5>\r\nJust a couple of SEO plugins can provide massive benefits.

Some of these plugins will even give you an SEO score to help make sure each post or page fits perfectly with your overall strategy.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>Share Related Posts</h5>\r\nHave you ever found a blog post with related posts listed below and wondered how they do it? If you were to do this by hand, it would take quite a bit of time. However, with the use of the right plugins, you can create a list of related posts or display them with an image, without doing anything more than installing and setting up the plugin.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]\r\n<h5>Cost of Upgrades</h5>\r\nThese free plugins allow you to quickly and easily add functionality to your WordPress website that could easily cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to implement on your own.

This can help with new blog post ideas and with the direction of your blog as well as your SEO strategy.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>Better Security &amp; Performance</h5>\r\nSome of the best WordPress plugins won\'t change the way your site looks or share blog posts. However, they are still very important. Some plugins will help to better secure your website and blog from hackers and viruses. Other plugins will help to speed up the load times of your website, which also provides SEO benefits.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]\r\n<h5>Basic Functions</h5>\r\nWordPress can do many things, but some of the basic functions need a little tweaking for specific projects. With the right WordPress plugins, you can change simple tasks, such as which pages show up in your main menu and what goes in your sidebar. These functions can be customized to fit your specific needs with some of the basic plugins.[/one_quarter_last][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>No Coding Necessary</h5>\r\nMaybe the most beneficial part of using WordPress and the top WordPress plugins is anybody can do it. You won\'t need to do any coding with the help of the plugins. They are easy to install and they will do just what you need without any HTML coding or any other type of coding.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>Massive SEO Benefits</h5>\r\nJust a couple of SEO plugins can provide massive benefits.

If you were to do this by hand, it would take quite a bit of time. However, with the use of the right plugins, you can create a list of related posts or display them with an image, without doing anything more than installing and setting up the plugin.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]\r\n<h5>Cost of Upgrades</h5>\r\nThese free plugins allow you to quickly and easily add functionality to your WordPress website that could easily cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to implement on your own.

This can be very helpful if you plan to schedule blog posts or if you want to save a little bit of time, and can help drive lots of targeted traffic to your website.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>Tracking and Analytics</h5>\r\nWith the right plugins, you can see who has been visiting your website, where they are coming from, how much time they spend on each page and a whole lot more. This can help with new blog post ideas and with the direction of your blog as well as your SEO strategy.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>Better Security &amp; Performance</h5>\r\nSome of the best WordPress plugins won\'t change the way your site looks or share blog posts. However, they are still very important. Some plugins will help to better secure your website and blog from hackers and viruses. Other plugins will help to speed up the load times of your website, which also provides SEO benefits.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]\r\n<h5>Basic Functions</h5>\r\nWordPress can do many things, but some of the basic functions need a little tweaking for specific projects. With the right WordPress plugins, you can change simple tasks, such as which pages show up in your main menu and what goes in your sidebar. These functions can be customized to fit your specific needs with some of the basic plugins.[/one_quarter_last][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>No Coding Necessary</h5>\r\nMaybe the most beneficial part of using WordPress and the top WordPress plugins is anybody can do it. You won\'t need to do any coding with the help of the plugins. They are easy to install and they will do just what you need without any HTML coding or any other type of coding.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>Massive SEO Benefits</h5>\r\nJust a couple of SEO plugins can provide massive benefits. You can automatically generate your sitemap and make sure the right tags, descriptions and titles are displayed for the search engines. Some of these plugins will even give you an SEO score to help make sure each post or page fits perfectly with your overall strategy.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>Share Related Posts</h5>\r\nHave you ever found a blog post with related posts listed below and wondered how they do it? If you were to do this by hand, it would take quite a bit of time. However, with the use of the right plugins, you can create a list of related posts or display them with an image, without doing anything more than installing and setting up the plugin.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]\r\n<h5>Cost of Upgrades</h5>\r\nThese free plugins allow you to quickly and easily add functionality to your WordPress website that could easily cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to implement on your own. In addition, the developers maintain the code and keep it secure, further reducing your costs.[/one_quarter_last]\r\n\r\n</div>\r\nAll of these benefits and many more, come from the top 25 WordPress plugins.

This can be very helpful if you plan to schedule blog posts or if you want to save a little bit of time, and can help drive lots of targeted traffic to your website.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>Tracking and Analytics</h5>\r\nWith the right plugins, you can see who has been visiting your website, where they are coming from, how much time they spend on each page and a whole lot more. This can help with new blog post ideas and with the direction of your blog as well as your SEO strategy.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>Better Security &amp; Performance</h5>\r\nSome of the best WordPress plugins won\'t change the way your site looks or share blog posts. However, they are still very important. Some plugins will help to better secure your website and blog from hackers and viruses. Other plugins will help to speed up the load times of your website, which also provides SEO benefits.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]\r\n<h5>Basic Functions</h5>\r\nWordPress can do many things, but some of the basic functions need a little tweaking for specific projects. With the right WordPress plugins, you can change simple tasks, such as which pages show up in your main menu and what goes in your sidebar. These functions can be customized to fit your specific needs with some of the basic plugins.[/one_quarter_last][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>No Coding Necessary</h5>\r\nMaybe the most beneficial part of using WordPress and the top WordPress plugins is anybody can do it. You won\'t need to do any coding with the help of the plugins. They are easy to install and they will do just what you need without any HTML coding or any other type of coding.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>Massive SEO Benefits</h5>\r\nJust a couple of SEO plugins can provide massive benefits. You can automatically generate your sitemap and make sure the right tags, descriptions and titles are displayed for the search engines. Some of these plugins will even give you an SEO score to help make sure each post or page fits perfectly with your overall strategy.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]\r\n<h5>Share Related Posts</h5>\r\nHave you ever found a blog post with related posts listed below and wondered how they do it? If you were to do this by hand, it would take quite a bit of time. However, with the use of the right plugins, you can create a list of related posts or display them with an image, without doing anything more than installing and setting up the plugin.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]\r\n<h5>Cost of Upgrades</h5>\r\nThese free plugins allow you to quickly and easily add functionality to your WordPress website that could easily cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to implement on your own. In addition, the developers maintain the code and keep it secure, further reducing your costs.[/one_quarter_last]\r\n\r\n</div>\r\nAll of these benefits and many more, come from the top 25 WordPress plugins.

Some automate sharing, while others provide security benefits. Top benefits from WordPress plugins include:</p>\r\n[one_quarter]<h4>Automation</h4>\r\nSome of the best plugins will automate the process of sharing your blog posts with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and many other social networks and profiles. This can be very helpful if you plan to schedule blog posts or if you want to save a little bit of time, and can help drive lots of targeted traffic to your website.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]<h4>Tracking and Analytics</h4>\r\nWith the right plugins, you can see who has been visiting your website, where they are coming from, how much time they spend on each page and a whole lot more. This can help with new blog post ideas and with the direction of your blog as well as your SEO strategy.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]<h4>Heightened Security and Performances</h4>\r\nSome of the best WordPress plugins won\'t change the way your site looks or share blog posts. However, they are still very important. Some plugins will help to better secure your website and blog from hackers and viruses. Other plugins will help to speed up the load times of your website, which also provides SEO benefits.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]<h4>Basic Functions</h4>\r\nWordPress can do many things, but some of the basic functions need a little tweaking for specific projects. With the right WordPress plugins, you can change simple tasks, such as which pages show up in your main menu and what goes in your sidebar. These functions can be customized to fit your specific needs with some of the basic plugins.[/one_quarter_last][one_quarter]<h4>No Coding Necessary</h4>\r\nMaybe the most beneficial part of using WordPress and the top WordPress plugins is anybody can do it. You won\'t need to do any coding with the help of the plugins. They are easy to install and they will do just what you need without any HTML coding or any other type of coding.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]<h4>Massive SEO Benefits</h4>\r\nJust a couple of SEO plugins can provide massive benefits. You can automatically generate your sitemap and make sure the right tags, descriptions and titles are displayed for the search engines. Some of these plugins will even give you an SEO score to help make sure each post or page fits perfectly with your overall strategy.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]<h4>Share Related Posts</h4>\r\nHave you ever found a blog post with related posts listed below and wondered how they do it? If you were to do this by hand, it would take quite a bit of time. However, with the use of the right plugins, you can create a list of related posts or display them with an image, without doing anything more than installing and setting up the plugin.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]<h4>Cost of Upgrades</h4>\r\nThese free plugins allow you to quickly and easily add functionality to your WordPress website that could easily cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to implement on your own.  In addition, the developers maintain the code and keep it secure, further reducing your costs.[/one_quarter_last]</div>\r\n\r\nAll of these benefits and many more, come from the top 25 WordPress plugins.

This can help with new blog post ideas and with the direction of your blog as well as your SEO strategy.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]<h4>Heightened Security and Performances</h4>\r\nSome of the best WordPress plugins won\'t change the way your site looks or share blog posts. However, they are still very important. Some plugins will help to better secure your website and blog from hackers and viruses. Other plugins will help to speed up the load times of your website, which also provides SEO benefits.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]<h4>Basic Functions</h4>\r\nWordPress can do many things, but some of the basic functions need a little tweaking for specific projects. With the right WordPress plugins, you can change simple tasks, such as which pages show up in your main menu and what goes in your sidebar. These functions can be customized to fit your specific needs with some of the basic plugins.[/one_quarter_last][one_quarter]<h4>No Coding Necessary</h4>\r\nMaybe the most beneficial part of using WordPress and the top WordPress plugins is anybody can do it.

Some of these plugins will even give you an SEO score to help make sure each post or page fits perfectly with your overall strategy.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]<h4>Share Related Posts</h4>\r\nHave you ever found a blog post with related posts listed below and wondered how they do it? If you were to do this by hand, it would take quite a bit of time. However, with the use of the right plugins, you can create a list of related posts or display them with an image, without doing anything more than installing and setting up the plugin.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]<h4>Cost of Upgrades</h4>\r\nThese free plugins allow you to quickly and easily add functionality to your WordPress website that could easily cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to implement on your own.

This can help with new blog post ideas and with the direction of your blog as well as your SEO strategy.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]<h4>Heightened Security and Performances</h4>\r\nSome of the best WordPress plugins won\'t change the way your site looks or share blog posts. However, they are still very important. Some plugins will help to better secure your website and blog from hackers and viruses. Other plugins will help to speed up the load times of your website, which also provides SEO benefits.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]<h4>Basic Functions</h4>\r\nWordPress can do many things, but some of the basic functions need a little tweaking for specific projects. With the right WordPress plugins, you can change simple tasks, such as which pages show up in your main menu and what goes in your sidebar. These functions can be customized to fit your specific needs with some of the basic plugins.[/one_quarter_last][one_quarter]<h4>No Coding Necessary</h4>\r\nMaybe the most beneficial part of using WordPress and the top WordPress plugins is anybody can do it. You won\'t need to do any coding with the help of the plugins. They are easy to install and they will do just what you need without any HTML coding or any other type of coding.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]<h4>Massive SEO Benefits</h4>\r\nJust a couple of SEO plugins can provide massive benefits. You can automatically generate your sitemap and make sure the right tags, descriptions and titles are displayed for the search engines. Some of these plugins will even give you an SEO score to help make sure each post or page fits perfectly with your overall strategy.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]<h4>Share Related Posts</h4>\r\nHave you ever found a blog post with related posts listed below and wondered how they do it? If you were to do this by hand, it would take quite a bit of time. However, with the use of the right plugins, you can create a list of related posts or display them with an image, without doing anything more than installing and setting up the plugin.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]<h4>Cost of Upgrades</h4>\r\nThese free plugins allow you to quickly and easily add functionality to your WordPress website that could easily cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to implement on your own.

This can help with new blog post ideas and with the direction of your blog as well as your SEO strategy.[/one_quarter][one_quarter]<h4>Heightened Security and Performances</h4>\r\nSome of the best WordPress plugins won\'t change the way your site looks or share blog posts. However, they are still very important. Some plugins will help to better secure your website and blog from hackers and viruses. Other plugins will help to speed up the load times of your website, which also provides SEO benefits.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]<h4>Basic Functions</h4>\r\nWordPress can do many things, but some of the basic functions need a little tweaking for specific projects.

These functions can be customized to fit your specific needs with some of the basic plugins.[/one_quarter_last][one_quarter]<h4>No Coding Necessary</h4>\r\nMaybe the most beneficial part of using WordPress and the top WordPress plugins is anybody can do it.

If you were to do this by hand, it would take quite a bit of time. However, with the use of the right plugins, you can create a list of related posts or display them with an image, without doing anything more than installing and setting up the plugin.[/one_quarter][one_quarter_last]<h4>Cost of Upgrades</h4>\r\nThese free plugins allow you to quickly and easily add functionality to your WordPress website that could easily cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to implement on your own.
