I am starting to move a few of my sites across to Wordpress and was wondering what everyone thought were the best plugins to use?

Currently i am using:

Google Analyticator
Google XML Sitemaps
Spam Free
Wp-Dofollow
All in One SEO Pack

Is there anything else i should add or remove?

    It might depend on the purposes of your website but here are a few that I tend to include on a lot of my blogs:

    Commentluv
    Contact Form 7 (Gravity Forms is really popular too)
    Subscribe to Comments
    WP DB Backup
    GrowMap Anti-Spambot (loosely involved in this one personally)

    Another one that I am almost always use is exec-php so I have the ability to execute PHP code in widgets.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks,
    Derek

        In general, W3 Super Cache is a must-have, especially for larger websites. It will improve your load times by a good amount.
