Wordpress Blogging plugin

Im about to compile a list of essential plugin for wordpress installation, do you guys have any in mind that is a must while we install the wordpress? If yes, please let me know so that I can include in the list. Thanks

 

- Akismet
- All in One SEO Pack
- Contact Form 7
- FollowMe
- Google XML Sitemaps
- SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam
- Sociable
- WordPress.com Stats
- WordPress Related Posts
- WordTwit

This is what I currently use

 

+ Whydowork Adsense Plugin
+ Maxblogpress Ping Optimizer
+ exec-php (php in widgets,posts,and pages)

 

I recommend every WP bloggers to use KB linker plugin. It helps in increasing the Internal Linking of a blog. I have already written about that plugin recently in my blog.

 

They've been caught too many times using it as a censorship tool.

Works great on wp and is completely free where after a while you have to pay for Akismet. It's also completely Open Source while Akismet isn't.

Re: Akismet commerical usage: http://akismet.com/commercial/

And google'ing for 'akismet censorship' should find lots on the topic.

 

I use Section Tabs also for nice graphics and tabbed contents. If you didnt understand that, you can check my sidebar as sample on my site http://www.mygadgetplanet.com

 

oooo nice!
