Okay, so this is my first “listing” post ever, so don’t get your hopes up too high.  Most (if not all) of these are being used on this blog site.  I emboldened any that I thought should ALWAYS be installed on any Wordpress blog site.

Note: Actually, I have to cross some of these out since some of them have some pretty awful markup… great functionality, if they worked correctly.

1. I need a good recommendation on a solid contact form.
2. Addthis Social Bookmarking Widget
   1. This has one error if you’re running xhtml strict 1.1 and that is “border=none”.  Easy enough to remove.
3. Admiyn Juitter Wordpress Plugin
   • Had some validation issues and caused some conflicts for me.
     
4. All In One SEO Pack
5. Apture
   • Had some validation issues and caused some conflicts for me.
     
6. AskApache Crazy Cache
7. AskApache Google 404
8. DISQUS Comment System
9. External Links
10. Google Analytics OR Ultimate Google Analytics
    • Google Analytics sets up the code right before the ending body tag as Google suggests, but Ultimage Google Analytics has a lot more features for what it’s worth.
