I use a lot of various Wordpress plugins on my dozen or so blogs. Yet there are only a few that I really consider “must have” plugins, which I use on pretty much every blog I run. Here are my “must have” Wordpress plugins:

1. WWW-Redirect - I originally used this plugin to direct the non-WWW versions of my blogs to the WWW version, but it caused problems in most cases with comments and a form plugin I was using (not to mention login problems). So for a while, I disabled it. Later, I reset the plugin, but pointing everything instead to my non-WWW versions, and it worked like a charm. It’s now on my “must-have” list for each of my blogs.

2. Simple Tags - Sure, you can use a more complicated tagging plugin, but frankly I prefer this option. It’s as easy as adding a list of keywords to the end of a post to get my Technorati tags, which is really all I care about. It’s installed on all of my blogs, although I don’t use it for all of them very actively.

3. Add Meta Tags - This was my first “must have” Wordpress plugin for my blogs. Not only can you add custom meta tags for the home page, but also for your category pages and posts. For some of my blogs, I let the plugin use its default system for choosing custom tags for posts, and on other blogs I write my meta description and keywords for each post or article.
