The following is a list of plugins that I use on either my drawing , writing blogs, or blogs I have set up for other people.

Efficient Related Posts
This inserts at the end of your post, links to other posts on your site that are similar in content to the current one. Its not to bad at all, I would like a bit more customisation options but, out of all the ones I have tried, this seems to be the best.
Google XML Sitemaps
This plugin generates a XML sitemap and submits it to search engines. It has a wide range of options and does exactly what it says on the side of the tin. Handy to use in conjunction with google webmaster tools.
SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam
I only have this activated on my drawing site at the moment as that has been hit a few times by spam comment attacks. Again, It does what it says on the side of the tin, I have not had any spam comments since.
Redirection
This allows you to set up 301 redirects on your site with ease, most recommended if you are planning to move from blogger to wordpress on the same domain.
Syntax Highlighter
Allows you to post code snippets within your blog. Handles a wide arrange of programming languages and seems to work well.
Easy Contact
Allows you, very easily to set up a contact form on either a page or post on a wordpress blog. A good few options of customisation
A Better Tag Cloud
Does exactly what it says. Offers a better tag cloud than the default one installed and offers a wide range of options.
Best thing about all of the above, is they will cost you nowt.
The blog behind 5YLAC.com and thedeadadventurersclub.com
May also contain the odd ramble, the odd review and whatever else I feel like throwing up here. If you are a grammar w*nker, then this site is not for you.

Even more Crap Left Over From Blogger to WordPress
Following on from more crap left over ... I am still getting a fair chunk of traffic from google cached pages of my site, which I imagine is annoying for the visitor, as all they will get is a list of broken links.
The Image on the left shows the top ten landing pages for November. Anything with a .html does not exist anymore.
After much searching around, I am trying out the google URL removal tool. Which you can find in Google webmaster tools under crawler access on a non obvious tab.
As a test, I am trying out both a URL and an entire directory. According to the help I also need to update my robots file as well. All in all my experience of google webmaster tools has been highly confusing and I am left currently at the moment with a pending status in the hands of google.
I guess its now a case of watch this space...
