WordPress CMS is fantastic as we all know but possibly the best thing about it is its extensibility through the use of plugins. You can download or buy a plugin to do almost anytyhing you can imagine, from showing slideshows to managing full featured newsletter functionality. Heres a few of my favorite non-default plugins.

FREE Plugins:

• Contact Form 7 – Pretty good form building with upload and captcha features.
• Exec-PHP – allows you to write and execute php code in widgets and content.
• Loudervoice – allows you to write reviews on your blog which are then picked up by Loudervoice.com.
• NextGen Gallery – create photo gallerys and flash slideshows with ease.
• Podpress – Full multimedia support and podcasting with a nice little player.
• TinyMCE Advanced – add extra buttons and functionality to the content editor such as tables.
• Subscribe to comments – let your commenters know when a post receives new comments.
• WorsPress.com Stats – keep track of your visitors and most popular posts.
• Comment Referrers – Tells you were commenters came from.
• Facebook Like Button – Add a Like button to your posts.
• Google Analyticator – Add Google analytics and track outbound links.
• Linkedin Share Button – Allow your visitors to share your content on Linkedin.

Commercial Plugins:

Here’s a few decent commercial WordPress plugins:

• Shopping Cart – Full e-commerce system for your site with Realex credit card processing module.
• Newsletter – Full newsletter system for wordpress al managed from the admin.
• Banner Ads – Display adverts on your blog with rotation and stats.

Remember to keep these plugins updated too once installed, you’ll see from admin which ones need updating.
