Hello, I am not a pro in Blogging just been blogging a few months. Just wanted to know which are the must have Wordpress plugins. Also I heard of some Feed Exchange Wordpress plugin wherein the feeds of the participating blogs are shared. Can you tell me the name? Thank you.
I'm not sure about the Feed Exchange plugin but here's a list of plugins I use: Akismet All in One SEO Pack Angsuman's Permanent Redirect Comment Timeout Dagon Design Sitemap Generator Dofollow Exec-PHP Facebook Dashboard Widget Fancy Archives Feedburner Feed Replacement Fold Page List Google XML Sitemaps Maintenance Mode Simple Trackback Validation Sociable Taragana's Del.icio.us mp3 Player Plugin Viper's Video Quicktags WordPress Database Backup WP-ContactForm
