And here is the first pass (there have been beta passes that are unpublished) at my essential wordpress plugin features and the ONE plugin per feature that I recommend. BOLD are REQUIRED! Italics are Amazing but not essential.
- Spam Killer - reCaptcha
- Commenting System - Disqus Comment System
- Delicious for WP - cause if you're trying to do it all without Delicious you're working too hard
- Google Sitemaps - Google XML Sitemaps
- Google Analytics addon - Google Analyticator
- All In One SEO Pack - free and good enough
- Lifestream (twitter, rss, blogs, etc.. syndicate yourself back to yourself and to everyone else)
- Quanticast Quantifier - cause you can't depend 100% on Google for everything
- OpenID Integration - You gotta get with the program on this one
- Traffic and Online User Info - WassUP (this one will blow your mind)
- Who's Online - a simple variant of wassup, but useful as well
- 404 Redirects - Smart 404
- A Simple LinkedIN Badge
- Caching Wordpress for Speed - WP Super Cache
- Really Simple Sitemap - gathers all your post titles and links to one page (awesome)
- Tag Suggest Thing - another mindblower and must have
- Badges and link/fav/forward this tool - Sociable
- New User Introductions - New User Email
- MP3 Player Integration -1-Bit Audio Player (it can't get any simpler than this)
- Backup Wordpress - the name says it all, good scheduling abilities
- Feed Statistics - if you don't use Feedburner or IceRocket or other tool
Still under review
Google Adsense and Adwords Integration
Self-driven advertising tools
Wish-it worked better cause I liked it a lot
