WordPress Must Haves?

Not just shameless promotion of the fact I've finally started a blog, but I wondered if any users of wordpress could recommend any must have plugins?

akismet - spam protection

I've subscribed to the blog now

Here are a few plugins to get you started - I think I have 14 running at the moment but some of them might be less useful than others.

And this one is handy if you want to use feedburner to keep an eye on stats for your feed

Cheers Phil & Fraser,

had already activated Akismet, and have added / will add Fraser's recommendations.

Anyone else? Does anyone have a secure plugin for tracking referrer urls?

Possibly the BDP Referral Tracker, though I've not tried it myself.
But for all your WordPress plugin needs, go to wp-plugins.net. There are hundreds to browse amongst.

Cheers!

I'm never going to get any work done next week, too busy playing with WordPress!

[Fraser]

hehe - that's my problem sometimes. I end up too busy tweaking the site, adding new plugins etc that I don't have any time to actually post
