    There are hundreds of WordPress plugins availible, and opinions vary on which are the “best” to use, or the “most important.”

    The “top five” seem to be:
    1) A good anti-comment-spam plugin (or editing your .htaccess to blog at the source)
    2) A “related posts” plugin (shows posts that are theoretically related (by keyword) to the current post)
    3) A “top posts” or “latest posts” plugin.
    4) The RunPHP plugin (http://www.nosq.com/2004/10/runphp-wordpress-plugin/ ) (allowing you to execute PHP code in your posts and pages).
    5) The Subscribe to Comments plugin (http://txfx.net/search/subscribe%20to%20comments%202 ), allow people to receive e-mail notification when comments are replied to.

    The Wordpress Codex contains many plugins, and links to outside plugin lists. Additionally a search on yahoo for “wordpress plugin” will merit a lot of results.

    Ultimately, it’s your blog, feel free to use what you prefer.
