I think it’s just a mat­ter of time before every blog­ger shares their opin­ion on the “Best Word­press Plu­g­ins Ever” and for me that time has come! I cur­rently have 28 installed plu­g­ins and 24 of those are active. Don’t worry, I won’t be list­ing all 28 with some crazy syn­op­sis of how that par­tic­u­lar plu­gin will sky­rocket your blog traf­fic or triple your back­links overnight… I just want to share with you some that I think are worth a look. In fact, let’s say 6, keep it short and sweet.

1. Com­mentLuv — Visit Plu­gin Site

I am all for any plu­gin that encour­ages vis­i­tors to com­ment on your posts. It’s been com­mon prac­tice for some time now that blog­gers surf the web in search of like minded blog­gers and use the power of a com­ment to hope­fully drive a lit­tle traf­fic back to their site, this awe­some lit­tle plu­gin does your com­men­ta­tors one bet­ter. After log­ging a com­ment, not only is their infor­ma­tion and com­ment vis­able, so is a cap­tion of that com­men­tors most recent blog post­ing! Check it out, leave me a com­ment… I dare you.

2. flick­rRSS — Visit Plu­gin Site

No explaina­tion needed, see it in action on the right side of this page. Isn’t my daugh­ter a cutie?!

3. WP Fol­lowMe — Visit Plu­gin Site

What would the world be with­out Twit­ter? Another one that really needs no expla­na­tion. You can also see this one in action on the right side of your browser. The badge is 100% flash and com­pletely cus­tomiz­able in regards to col­ors and birdie pictures!

4. Google Ana­lyt­i­ca­tor — Visit Plu­gin Site

If you’re any­thing like me you check your Ana­lyt­ics account twice a day, right after break­fast and right before bed­time. Well now you can get a quick snap­shot right on your Word­Press Dash­board! A cus­tomiz­able graph of traf­fic trends, list­ing of top refer­rers, more vis­ited pages, count of new vis­i­tors vs. total vis­i­tors and so much more! If you use Google Ana­lyt­ics, you need to check out Google Analyticator.

5. NoFol­low Free — Visit Plu­gin Site

Call me crazy, but I am a sup­porter of the “fol­low move­ment”. This lit­tle trin­ket removes the nofol­low tags from your blogs com­ments and once again rewards your com­men­ta­tors by allow­ing search engines to do what they were designed to do.

6. wp-Typography — Visit Plu­gin Site

For all you crazy type fanat­ics, this plu­gin helps beau­tify the type in your blog. Don’t you love my pretty lit­tle & (amper­sand) and how my “quo­ta­tion marks” are nicely curved. This plu­gin does so much more, fol­low the link above to learn more!

Thats All

Did I leave out your favorite? I tell you what, kill two birds with one stone… leave me a com­ment (in turn try­ing out Com­mentLuv) and tell me about your favorite plu­gin (in turn telling me about your favorite plugin).
