Five Wordpress plugins you can’t live without

One of the greatest things about Wordpress (apart from the fact that its free) is the incredible community support and extensibility that is available. There are plugins for virtually any task you can imagine and here are a list of plugins that form the basis of many websites I produce using the Wordpress platform.

1. All In One SEO Plugin - Gives you access to pagetitle, meta keywords and meta description for posts and pages. Invaluable!

2. Wordpress Backup - Handy backup facility that lets you backup your mysql database tables.

3. Wordpress Dashboard - Gets rid of that bloated Wordpress dashboard that takes ages to load. I love this one!

4. Recent Posts - A flexible plugin which a comprehensive lists of options for displaying recent posts on your wordpress blog.

5. Google SiteMaps - Takes all the hassle out of creating a Google sitemap. Its reliable and even pings Google for you.
