Wordpress Plugins Every Blogger Should Be Using
Almost everyone with a blog is using Wordpress, and if not they should be. It is by far the easiest software to install and everything needed to enhance it can be found on the Internet for free. There are thousands of different Wordpress Plugins out there and figuring out what ones to add is no easy task. For the most part wordpress plugins take less then five minutes to install and can enhance the wordpress theme right away. Below is a list that I have compiled of the best wordpress plugins, I will update it each time I add a new one to the blog. I had trouble finding the top wordpress plugins right away, so I figured why not blog about it so others will not have to waste the time that I did to find them. Be sure to leave me a comment if I am missing a plugin that you think is very useful.

Adsense Deluxe
This plugin makes it a snap to add Adsense, YPN, or any other publisher to your blogposts. I found it to be the easiest. Just insert the (“<!–adsense–>”) tag in your desired location and it will put the preconfigured ad unit in that spot. No messing with the large code anymore, save valuable time with this plugin.

Those plugins look great, too bad I’m using Nucleus CMS. I don’t think the Live Comment Preview is necessary, as there isn’t any formatting for comments - just plain text. Other than that, everything seems to be essential, nice post.

Wordpress SEO PLUG IN by Wordsfinder
WordsFinder, a small agency based in London UK, has launched a great SEO plug in that takes care of meta data, x rays web copy, suggests tags and boosts your blog traffic intelligently and for free. By auto-tagging your blog, readers would be able to dive straight into post deeply buried within your site allowing you to generate more page impressions. For example, if you have got a fashion blog using automatically generated tags, you are able to link all your Armani posts to each others in no time.
So far, UTW plug-in users had to manage tags manually. Bloggers had to add appropriate tags to every single post. What if you have got thousands of posts? Would you rather assign tags manually or automatically? Have you got that kind of spare time on your hands?
Wordpress 2.3 ( the latest version of the popular blogging platform ) now includes tagging support by default, without any plug in. WordFinder plug in has been build on this new functionality, it automatically generate keywords and tags for the page and for the meta data. Optionally on the “write and edit post” page, when bloggers click on tags, they get added to the category list.
Not happy with Wordsfinder suggestions? You can add, remove, manipulate any keyword or tag. On the option page, bloggers would be able to limit the amount of tags retrieved by wordsfinder. Leaving them 100% in control.
