Plugins….not necessary to blog with WordPress but it would be a dull Blogosphere without them.

If you’re just starting out with a plain WordPress Theme, then you’re going to want to Pimp that Bad Boy out. Don’t be caught with a naked Blog!

Here are is my Top 10 List of WordPress Plugins to Pimp Your Blog Out.

1. Akismet – Hands down the best WordPress Plugin around for stopping spam.
2. Aizatto’s Related Post – This plugin allows you to show a list of related post either after or before each of your post. This will increase the stickiness of your blog. A must have if you want people to drill down into the depths of your blog.
3. WordPress Contact Form with Spam Protection – I found this Plugin after I installed another version. Honestly, I’ve just been too lazy to change yet. I really like the pulldown subject menu this WordPress plugin has.
4. Google Sitemap Generator – If you care anything at all about Google finding all the pages of your blog and cacheing them, you need this Plugin!
5. Ultimate Tag Warrior – Another ‘Must Have’ to make your blog more user friendly. It can make a huge difference on how your readers interact with your blog. The easiest way to learn what all the Ultimate Tag Warrior Plugin can do for your blog is to visit the Lorelle on WordPress Blog and read the Ultimate Tag Warrior Plugin for Dummies guide.
6. Sociable – This Plugin allows your readers to submit your post to many of the Social Networking sites like Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit, etc.
7. FeedSmith – This Plugin allows you to track your RSS readers and use the services of FeedBurner.
8. EasyTube – If you want to play YouTube or Google video’s on your WordPress blog, this plugin will make it a breeze. Quick and simple, just like I like it.
9. No Ping Wait – If you have a large group of sites to ping each time you post and WordPress has hung up or disconnected, then this Plugin is for you. It separates the two function, Editing & Pinging so you not setting idle waiting for all the services to be pinged.
10. Title Tag 2.0 – This makes puttin those often forgotten but no less important titles at the top of your post.

Okay, there are your Top 10, enjoy!
