WordPress Plugins

I’ve been researching about the most useful plugins for wordpress to date.  There are quite a handful out there based on the popular blog sites I’ve visited. Here is a recommended list of plugins for wordpress beginners:

• WP-Super Cache – caches your wordpress pages super fast
• WP Spam Free – protects your blog from spam
• All in One SEO – Package for optimizing your content for search engines
• Ultimate Google Analytics – Google Analytics for your blog
• Google Sitemap generator – just like the name implies…
• Contact Form 7 – generate a contact form
• Really Simple Captcha – protect your forms with captcha validations
• Akismet – same with WP Spam Free, protects your comments against spammers
