Revision Diet – if you are like me then this plugin is essential! I will write a post and save it, read it and then save it, read it again and so on. If I am not careful then I might have dozens of versions of each post, which rapidly fill my database. This post just gets rid of all of those extra versions of the post that you don’t need.
WordPress.com Popular Posts – I do not like only linking to recent posts on my side navigation, I prefer to link to the most popular posts. These are posts that people are reading over other posts and therefore, are more likely to be interesting to other readers.
WordPress.com Stats – needed in order to run WordPress.com Popular Posts, but it also collects a lot of important visitors data and displays in real time. Even though you use Google Analytics, it is a good idea to have a second tracking tool for when the visitors stats look funny (plus, it might exclude your own views!).

WP Captcha Free – Akismet is magnificent, but it still leaves you having to check that the spam comments are spam and the real comments are real. Well this plugin all but cut out comment spam on my websites by timestamping the form when it is first collected. Spammers keep submitting with the old timestamp and their comments are deleted. Genuine traffic get a new timestamp when they open the page and their comments get through.
