My Best WordPress Plugins

Wordpress is the best blogging platform because it's simple and elegant. Currently the most active project with high community participation in themes and plugins development. Today I'm listing the plugins I use for my Wordpress. I'll just copy their descriptions and provide the link to their corresponding Wordpress' Extend page. This post also helps me update my plugins easier. My free server hosting this blog imposes time limits, thus I cannot benefit from the easy plugin update process.

AddThis Social Bookmarking Widget

Help your visitor promote your site! The AddThis Social Bookmarking Widget allows any visitor to bookmark your site easily with many popular services. Sign up for an AddThis.com account to see how your visitors are sharing your content--which services they're using for sharing, which content is shared the most, and more. It's all free--even the pretty charts and graphs.

Akismet

Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not.

All in One SEO Pack

Out-of-the-box SEO for your Wordpress blog.

Contact Form 7

Just another contact form plugin. Simple but flexible.

FeedBurner FeedSmith

This plugin detects all ways to access your original WordPress feeds and redirects them to your FeedBurner feed so you can track every possible subscriber.

Google Analyticator

Adds the necessary JavaScript code to enable Google's Analytics. After enabling this plugin visit the settings pageand enter your Google Analytics' UID and enable logging.

This plugin will generate a special XML sitemap which will help search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.com to better index your blog.

List category posts

List Category Posts allows you to list posts from a category into a post/page using the catlist shortcode. This shortcode accepts a category name or id, the order in which you want the posts to display, and the number of posts to display.

Really Simple CAPTCHA

Really Simple CAPTCHA is a CAPTCHA module intended to be called from other plugins. It is originally created for my Contact Form 7 plugin.

This plugin allows you to add all the appropriate robots meta tags to your pages and feeds, disable unused archives and nofollow unnecessary links.

A functionally and SEO-enhanced pager for WordPress.

Smart 404

Rescue your viewers from site errors! When content cannot be found, Smart 404 will use the current URL to attempt to find matching content, and redirect to it automatically. Smart 404 also supplies template tags which provide a list of suggestions, for use on a 404.php template page if matching content can't be immediately discovered.
