I'm new to blogging, so I'd like to see what some of the more seasoned veterans like to use.

Off the top of my head I like those.

I have a few I love, all my blogs have them:

PopStats - Great stats package, accessible directly from the Dashboard.

Simple Tags - Technorati tags, great for SEO and traffic.

Google Sitemaps - quick and easy sitemap, you can customize this thing to death if you like

Adhesive (I can't find the link) - great way to make one of your posts sticky. Very easy to stick them and unstick them, and no template edits required.

There are a bunch more, these ones I really have a hard time living without.

I'm guessing the sticky is just the same as a vbulletin sticky?

# Akismet - this one helps to fight SPAM
# Chitika MiniMalls – this one helps to integrate Chitika affiliate code anywhere in the posts.
# StatTraq - your blog statistics
# Most popular - most popular posts featured
# SimpleTags
# Social Bookmark Link Creator
# AdSense DeLuxe

Yes, it puts your designated posts at the top, regardless of dates. Works well if you are having a contest, need to make an announcement or just have a welcome post you like to keep on top.

Cool.

I just installed WPVideo to my Nokia blog so I can post youtube videos without it conflicting with the layout. YouTube has a lot of content that's easy to comment on, and best of all its video.

I have just downloaded a cool plugin called by Alex King called Popularity Contest. Basically it tells you which of your post are most popular.

I like SpamKharma and Google Sitemaps plug.

Basically, I like any plug that makes my job easier.

I currently only have the SEO mod installed, but I love it. mysite.com/title-of-post.

/\Can't you do that just by the normal admin options?

i have put in almost all the stuff from www lesterchan DOT net/blogs/ . i really like his stuff.

on top of that i have spoiled myself by paying some freelancer to program a couple extensions like the dynamic menu. this is kind of unique for a wordpress blog and i am proud about it

I have so many. The widget sidebar is a must have for me, with open text widgets, so I can expand it at anytime.

I have the netflix widget which shows what movies I have at home right now, perfect for my site.

I have SEO title tag but I am not sure if it works, does anyone know how I can check to see if it works.

Popstats is cool for quick stats viewing.

These are my top three:

Adsense Deluxe
Google Sitemap
SEO Title Tags

Feedpress
