Hopefully this blog will help you fellow minecraftians out there in the process of adding some awesome and sometimes helpful bukkit plugins!
If you need to know how to create a server to run these plugins, please go here
If you already know how to install plugins but don't know how to configure the server.properties; go here

1. Download the plugin of your choice from here
Note: If it's a ZIP file, then you must extract it first, so that you have the .JAR.
Note: Do NOT extract the .JAR file.
2. Run the server once. Allow it to fully load, then bring it to a clean stop, so it can generate the plugin properties. If you want to change any plugin properties, do it now.
Note: To bring the server to a CLEAN stop, just input "stop" into the Minecraft server console (without quotes).
3. All Done. Just start the server up again. Your server now has the plugin installed.
Note: Make sure to check your log and console for errors created from you newly installed plugin.
