my top 10 wordpress plugins

These are the 10 plug-ins for WordPress that I use the most and the ones I would recommend to anyone (we’re nearly at the 50+ WP sites mark on our server):

1. Google Sitemap Generator – an absolutely must have for any site.
2. Sociable – in our opinion the most useful social plug-in has email to etc as well.
3. Audio Player – nice and simple mp3 only player
4. Contact Form 7 – I’ve tried a few, but found this to be the most reliable and simple
5. All in one SEO pack – what it say on the tin really, another WP must have
6. Google News Sitemap – essential IF you publish at least every day.
7. Ultimate Google Analytics – what use is anything if you can’t track it?
8. Twitter for WordPress -the simplest to install and leave, limited functionality
9. YARPP (Recommended content) – encourage people t explore your site
10. Shopp – I’ve tried lots of e-comm plugins and never recommended any to a client. (A bargain at $55 too)

Hope you like these too. Please feel free to add your favourites in the comments.
