Posted by David Hobson | Posted in Blogging Tips | Posted on 07-11-2008
The main reasons why Wordpress is such a popular blogging script are :
- Frequent Updates to the script
- New features are added in every release
- Amazing wordpress plugins developed every day
- Lots of cool wordpress themes
- Secure blogging platform
Yes, I am very much fond of wordpress plugins and frequently browse the wordpress plugins list for new and updated plugins. I would like to share with you some of my favorite top wordpress plugins :
- Akismet Spam - A must and first plugin to fight wordpress comment spam.
- All in One SEO Pack - A all in one tool to make your blog SEO friendly
- Wordpress database backup - There are not many reliable hosts. So to avoid hosting plugins, keep backup of your databases.
- Google Sitemap Creator - Another good tool to make your blog indexed properly on google and get traffic.
- AdSense Deluxe - One of the top plugin to monetize your blog with Adsense, easily manage adsense on your blog.
- Exec-php - A must plugin to enable php features in your sidebar or posts. No need to edit wordpress theme files now.
- WP-Super-Cache - Make your blog fast, a great caching plugin. Avoids load on your host too.
- Subscribe to comments - Let your blog commentators know about reply to their comments.
- Sociable - Easily or automatically inserts social bookmarking icons to your posts.
There are lots many to be added in this list but these are my Top 10 favorites. What are yours ?

This is a great list of wordpress plugins. I use most of them on my blogs, especially All-In-One SEO. I like this list and have included it on my blog about blogging tips. Thank you
one of my favorites is http://www.smackfoo.com/plugins/sig2feed/ which adds a signature to your RSS feeds. I added this after some spammers started publishing my RSS feeds without giving any credit.

I use almost, all of them. Once i saw a plugin from which you can post to a page, but now i am not able to find it again. It will be great yo let me know if you came across something like that.

I used to use the EXEC-Pho plugin, but I find it easier to just create custom themes for individual pages. Thats one of the best native features of wordpress.
Those are really awesome plug-ins but I’m no longer using All-In-One. In fact, it has already been replaced by its successor, Platinum SEO and packed with more goodies.
Oh yes, that’s one of my fav, apart from Commentluv.

Another great item for Wordpress is Market — which turns Wordpress into an online store. It allows you to sell products on your WP site.
It comes with a backend Product Manager plugin which helps you easily add, edit, and modify product information using the Wordpress administration area.
There’s also on online demo you can play with and try out.
