Welcome to Wordpress Lisa...it's the single most powerfull blogging platform you can have in terms of content management flexibility and web2.0 hooks.

Adsense Deluxe
http://www.acmetech.com/blog/adsense-deluxe/
Lets you put adsense on your site with "tags" instead of adsence code--Put the tag inside a table and you have wrap-around adsense on your site

Spam Protection
http://akismet.com/
This is what Wordpress.com uses

All in one SEO
http://wp.uberdose.com/2007/03/24/all-in-one-seo-pack/
This thing is worth money. You can change the title in the metas to what ever you want and retain the title of each post. Play with it and you will see

Auto hyperlink URLs
http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/...yperlink-urls/
The URL is automatically linked when you use it in a post--just like Website Babble Forum

Google sitemaps
http://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects...aps-generator/
Nuff said...BTW every time the blog is updated the plugin pings Google.

Subscribe to rss widget
http://www.semiologic.com/software/w.../subscribe-me/
There are others but I like this one

Bookmark Me
http://www.semiologic.com/software/widgets/bookmark-me/
There are others but I like this one

Ultimate Tag Warrior
http://www.neato.co.nz/ultimate-tag-warrior/
I don't think it works with WP 2.3 as they have their own tagging system--this is MUCH better

Full text feed
http://cavemonkey50.com/code/full-feed/
If you use the "Read More" option your feeds get cut off...this fixes that.

Wordpress Stats
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/
Stats...not as good as the stuff the host gives you but good for a quick look

Smart update pinger
http://daven.se/usefulstuff/wordpress-plugins.html
Pings as many sites as you put in 2 to 200! WP defaults to ping every time you edit. This pings every time you Publish only Here is a ping list I use

http://api.feedster.com/ping
