John, I would also add the Google Sitemap Generator plugin as a top priority if you're wanting to be found and indexed by Google ...

Also, I wrote a post called The First Five Essential Things I Do in a WordPress Blog Installation here.

Hi John,
I use and recommend Dagon Design's . It's very customizable and has a few handy applications.

John Jantsch · 2 years ago

Matt, I do like the looks of that one.

Anyone have any favorites for desktop blog posting client for Mac? I've been playing with ScribeFire

Alex King's "Popularity Contest" plugin is a great way to inform blog readers of your most popular blog posts. (It is found on the same page as your link to the Share This plugin.)

You can tweak the settings so that "popularity" is based on just page views, or comments, or trackbacks, or incoming links or however you'd like it to calculate. It has a default setting, so you can just go with that if you don't want to think about it.

I also second the Google Sitemap generator plugin suggestion.

And finally, if you want to keep a "sticky" introduction post that is always at the top of your blog for new readers, then I recommend the WP-Sticky plugin.

I also agree about not going overboard. There are so many awesome plugins that it's easy to want to use them all, and hard to resist!

Welcome to Wordpress!

How about Subscribe to Comments (by e-mail) for thos readers who "don't get" feeds.

John Jantsch · 2 years ago

Adam,

Yes, I agree - I do have that feature already functioning on the lest sidebar but I do need to do some tweaking to get the sidebars in better shape from a user standpoint.

I was going to recommend What would Seth Godin do - but I see you already have that one ;0)

I believe you also use the one that makes your comments stand out as the authors - which I can't for the life of me get to work!

I might check out some of the others in this list now though.

I use the following plugins: Akismet, All in One SEO Pack, FeedBurner FeedSmith, Google Analytics, Google XML Sitemaps, Popularity Contest, Quick Stats, Simple Tags, Smart Update Pinger, Tagalize It, and Wordpress Automatic Upgrade.

So far I don't notice that I am missing any features that I wish I had, but I am always browsing the new plugin releases to see what looks helpful.
