Good list, and I already use many (but not all) of them.

To this list I would definitely add WPtouch. There’s no good reason why every WordPress-powered site doesn’t provide a mobile-version, and WPtouch makes it easy. Here’s the details: http://www.jeffhester.net/2010/11/29/mobile-support-for-wordpress/

Do you use a plugin for mobile devices? Or have you written the theme yourself? It works great on my phone!

Nice list – autoptimize is great for cleaning up code as well.

Thank you for the great list. Have you tried the Ultimate SEO plugin? I just switched to it from the all in one plugin because it’s even more complete.
And askimet is great, but not free for big or commercial blogs. In that case I use the reCaptcha plugin.

Very valuable list.

One question – How do you rate All-in-one-SEO in comparison to headspace. Some people swear by each but no one has been able to give me a solid answer which one is superior. What is everyone’s thoughts on these 2 plugins?

This is a valuable feature especially for people who are not very confident coding a navigation from scratch. I have not personally used this method so could not comment on its flexibility but I am sure the user will have a lot of control over the look and functionality.

Great list. What about AddToAny, DandyID, WordPress.com Stats & WP-Stats-Dashboard?

I’m researching plugins for creating a new blog and this is a great post thanks!

On the Feedstats plugin vs Feedburner, if you want to monetize your feed with Adsense then I think you need to use Feedburner since the plugin doesn’t give you that (AFAIK).

I’ve also decided to go with Platinum SEO instead of All in one as if you do a google search for reviews of comparisons of both, Platinum shows up as the first item (great SEO!), and there are some extra features in Platinum.

I always love looking through these sort of lists and use them to see how well my skills measure up to other designers. There are a few on this list I hadn’t heard of before, so will be keen to check them out.

One thing I didn’t see here (and apologies if I skipped over someone’s comments), is any reference to protecting your content/publications on the net. I have just signed up for MYOWS and see there is a WordPress plugin:

I think WP super cache is too old and slow, you should replace it with WP hyper cache or V3 total cache :)

WordPress Easy Post Types plugin was released yesterday. Complex WordPress 3.0 sites made easy. The Easy Post Types plugin extends WordPress and provides a GUI interface that combines and leverages the power of custom post types, custom taxonomies, and meta tags. Publishers don’t have to hack code to take advantage of the new powerful features of WP 3.0. Easy Post Types is distributed under the GNU General Public License. http://www.wpeasyposttypes.com

Features

• Ready to Use. Use standard WordPress query rules to quickly list content in your page templates, no need for any custom PHP coding.
• Pre-Packaged. Create custom content types on the fly through the WordPress backend.
• Themable. Available out of the box with the base theme or quickly override using your own.
• Robust. Add unlimited fields to your content types.
• Extensible. Many out of the box field types available, or create your own through the plugin API.
• Customizable. Fields can be ordered in the template to allow better input workflow for the user.
• Pluggable. Simply create a field and it’s plugged into your content type automatically.
• Simple. One single call to display any field in an output.
• Advanced Users. Access to the plugin object for advanced users at the post level.

WP Super Cache is ok…but Quick Cache is WAY better. It will auto cache based on your sitemap (google XML sitemap pluggin). It is really easy and very slick! Check it out.
