Question Wordpress Blog Plug-ins?

I want to set up a new blog using Wordpress ( I have one on blogger already).

I have installed Wordpress using fantastico in cPanel which was easy enough
but am mystified by all the plug-ins.

Can anyone tell me which ones I need for sure or are the best ones to use?

Have searched previous posts but can't find the answer to this particular question.

Thanks

Sandy

Hey Sandy,

Another WordPress user.... GREAT!! You're gonna love it. In my opinion the must-haves are....

All-in-One SEO Pack - It allows you to create separate <title> for your meta title tag. The WordPress default is the title that's in your post is the same title in your <title> tag.

It's nice to be able to differentiate them because I try to use keyword-focused titles for the <title> tag (for search engines) but I often want my blog title to have something more catchy for RSS readers, BlogRush, etc.

Google XML Sitemaps - creates a sitemap on-the-fly after every post and submits them to the appropriate engines.

Custom Query String - When you search categories and archives on WordPress, the default is to only show one post. I hated that. If you use this plugin, you can specify how many results are returned when someone clicks on a category in your archives, search by date, etc.

Those are my faves. Others feel free to chime in with yours.
