</h3>
this plugin has been one of the key components of my spam defence and has singlehandedly eliminated trackback spam. what this plugin does is generate a unique trackback url that must be used within 15 minutes. if a site attempts to leave a trackback without a proper key it is rejected. you can see the trackback generation in place under my posts.

</h3>
i originally started blogging on the blogware platform and i eventually moved to wordpress. what this plugin has allowed me to do is to change the permalinks of all my old posts (around 5 are still in my top 10 for traffic, so this was very important) to something more user-friendly.

<li><a href="http://www.semiologic.com/software/dofollow/" title="visit plugin homepage">dofollow</a> v2.0 by <a href="http://www.semiologic.com" title="visit author homepage">denis de bernardy</a></li>
</h3>
a new addition to the family. i think that blogging is about sharing and participating, and that adding 'nofollow' by default to wp comments is a mistake. this plugin fixes this mistake and allows other site owners to get credit for their contributions to my site.

<li><a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/help/wordpress_quickstart" title="visit plugin homepage">feedburner feedsmith</a> v2.2 by <a href="http://www.feedburner.com" title="visit author homepage">feedburner inc.</a></li>
</h3>
a vital plugin which allows me to use the great feed tools available from feedburner. it also ensures that all readers pick up the feedburner feed, and not the blog's default feed.

</h3>
i hate blogs that have huge category lists. i don't see the point as no reader in their right mind is going to scroll a category list that has more than 15 entries, and long lists aren't very user-friendly. what this plugin allows me to do is to hide my second-level categories, which only become visible if a top level category is clicked upon.

</h3>
i think that about 90% of my browsing is originated by my feedreader, and i believe that providing a full feed is better than providing a partial feed. this plugin fixes the problem with wordpress where articles are truncated in feeds if you use the 'more' command.

this plugin has become important to me of late as it allows me to track and reward my guest authors for their work. every team member has a unique category template for their editorial column, and as long as they remember to add this category to their posts, i can track their earnings.

a much improved tagging plugin than utw, which used to be the king. easier to use, and more importantly, not a resource hog. also has some cool features like being able to add tags to feeds and meta tags.

the best anti-spam plugin, which provides full control. akismet is ok, but the inability to correct false positives makes it a no-go for me.</ol>
