Frequently people asked me what plugins i use on my WordPress websites.
So i gather here on SilentBits the top best WordPress plugins.

I wasn’t aware of about 6 of these great WP-plugins, so thanks for this informative list!
Great list mate!
Very good plugin collection.
nice liat. thanks
Excellent post. Im going to try a few plugins.
Hey hows it going
Im looking to install some extra plugins for my blog, but thought id ask for advice first,…
I want a photo gallery for my site… The images which i upload to photobucket.com and feed the url of the image into the gallery plugin,
i want most recent image and random image to be displayed as thumbnails in the sidebar,,,
also, as an extra page i want photos, which would contain albums with details of the album… then also those albums would contain specific photos…
i dont want to upload all my fotos to my site, instead just to feed the url into it…
what do you recomend?
please email me back
lewis
Well i am not a expert in photos for WordPress.
For sidebar images you can use flickr and check out this plugin: http://www.fahlstad.se/2006/08.....-released/ for example.
Sorry but i don’t use photo galleries.
Nice list, some of them i use too, but the social bookmarks with icons seems out of age…
CoXis, can you give me some light on this subject?
I don’t see too much the point of using Ultimate Tag Warrior, I like the idea of using categories as tags much more, mainly because it’s already on the WP install. Of course, if you use categories also, well, you have to install some type of tagging plugin.
So, what are the main reasons for using UTW and not categories?
No, you got me wrong. The best way is to use categories and tagging system. It is all for Google and other search engines and it works
Great list of plugins, some which I’ve never heard of - going to check out those No Ping Wait and Spotmilk plugins now
Ah, the No Ping Wait site appears to be down =( Would anyone know another site where I could grab a copy? Thanks!
When i sit later to computer i email you this plugin
Now i need to get better after yesterday….
Thanks so much Peter
Stay well 
nice plugin…
Thanks for the list, I am going to implement some on my site.
Do add the networking plugin as well. Where you can easily link to all your profiles on the different networking websites, like LinkedIn, OpenBC, Ecademy, and many more. Real fun to know if you can look someone up on any of the platforms you are on.

Thanks for your comprehensive list of top plugins and including SpotMilk! We just recently we came across a relatively new contact form plugin: cforms which going forward will be a standard in our client projects, it’s a very universal and powerful contact form plugin!

WP commerce is a scam operation. Makes you pay for a cart that doesn’t work, just look at their forums
thanks for this list of top wordpress plugin.
any others social bookmark plugin?
I found a great plugin I use on my site: TreeMagic Cypress by AmbientWebs. http://ambientwebs.com/portfol.....c-cypress/ Basically it allows you to double-click any word on your site and get a drop-down list. From the list, you can select the definition for the word, search it on Google, or any other query that you can possibly think of.
Thx for info
Hi,
I just write a new plugin WP Widget Cache, which can cache the output of your blog widgets. I think it will significantly reduce your server usage, especially when Google is crawling your site.
Will you please have a try, and add it to this list. Thanks very much.
Here’s the plugin url:
http://wordpress.org/extend/pl.....get-cache/
Tnx for info about that and hope it work good, personally i don’t use widgets, old school guy.
