Been looking forward to this, thank you so much for the list. Time for me to get bust as several I do not utilize.

Great list! I use a lot of these too, however, there's a few on your list that I am definitely going to check out...
If you don't mind, I have a couple to recommend. Akismet for filtering out the spam - I know, that's a no-brainer, but it wasn't on the list! I also like to use either Socialable or AddThis to make it easy for visitors to bookmark my posts. Another favorite of mine is WP Polls. I found that only a small percentage of visitors will post comments, but there is a much greater number who will participate in polls.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Keep up the good work here. You can bet I'll be checking back - I need all the help I can get with my BANS sites!
If you have WordPress, you already have Akismet. It's included. ;)
Great compilation. My sales have increased big time since I switched to the Wordpress style store format. Wordpress is a breeze to use. I have just purchased the PHP eBay plugin as well and am starting to use it.
Great list Soggy! Thanks and I will be downloading some of them soon. I was curious if you have an Adsense plugin that you use? Getting Adsense on my blog in the desired locations seems to be an issue for me. Thanks!
