10 Must Have WordPress Plugins
by Karan Goel
In this article, you’ll find 10 excellent WordPress plugins intended to reduce and simplify tasks associated with blogging so that you can spend more time creating content, and less time with site administration.
Lets start :

It happens alot of times when I hit Publish button instead of clicking Save Draft. These are called accidental clicks, to stop such clicks completely here is a WordPress plugin called Are You Sure. After installing this plugin when you will click Publish or Update Post button, a Window will pop up asking for whether you wish to publish the current content or not

Search Meter automatically records what people are searching for and shows the results for last couple of days, weeks or month. It also tells you about unsuccessful searches. With this plugin you will be able to find out, what people are searching on your site and you can write on those topics more

With this plugin you will be able to safely test drive any theme on your blog as administrator, while visitors will still see the default one.

This plugin adds a message to your blog telling visitors that your blog is down for maintenance. You can easily change the default message by going to plugin’s option

Live Blogroll will make your Blogroll livelier. It will show a number of recent posts for each link in your Blogroll using Ajax.

This plugin adds a checkbox, if you uncheck it, the page will not appear in any listings of pages.

WP-DB-Backup allows you easily to backup your core WordPress database tables. You may also backup other tables in the same database.
This plugin allows you to notify your readers on their Instant Messaging (AIM, MSN, GTalk, ICQ…), Email or SMS when you publish new posts. It also adds a widget to your blog to allow your users to choose on which channel they want to be notified.

Very cool website, glad I came across it from Twitter! I like those plugins, the one I didn’t know about that I’ll start using is exclude pages– I’ve been doing it manually. This would be a nice work around. Thanks!
