Top Five Wordpress Plugins

Wordpress has become the best blogging software and will continue to reign as the best. With the popularity of Wordpress, I am surprised to find the unpopularity of certain plugins being used.

If you manage a Wordpress blog, I would strongly consider my list of the top five plugins to use:

An excellent automated or manual backup solution for your Wordpress database. A classic.

Akismet

Can someone say SPAM? Yes, we all hate it and Akismet is the best Spam protection you can get for handling comments on your blog. Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they are spam or not, also checks the trackbacks for spam.
