I’m coming out of the plugin closet!
Here are some plugins I use to make my site run super good, and help me blog better.
As a blogger, I appreciate when other successful bloggers shares his or her tricks to make blogging a success for them. That’s why I’m sharing my list with you. I have nothing to loose, but everything to give!
The list is rather large, but they each have a unique function, and I use them all.

Stuff I’ve never seen before…love it. Thank you!
You’re welcome sir!
Interesting, some of these I use (Akismet and Zemanta), some I have a different plugin that does a similar job (RefTagger [I use the ESV plugin and Tippy but this means I'm restricted to the ESV translation], All in one SEO pack [My theme has built-in SEO optimization]), and some I am going to investigate to see if they could be useful to me. Thanks for sharing, like you say, it is nice to learn what others have found useful.
No problem!
I’ve thought about using the ESV plugin before.
Thanks for stopping by!
Very informative! Appreciate it.
