I really ought to start keeping a list of WordPress plugins that should be installed as standard on every client blog I help set up and configure. At the moment, it’s a bit haphazard, with me searching for plugins that fill these roles: a plugin for social media (bookmarking/ sharing a post), for SEO (adding meta data) and one to work with Google Analytics (if the site is using that).
I think one reason I haven’t done this to date is that I had not settled on my “favourite” plugins for each of these roles. However, I’ve been happy with All in One SEO Pack and that’s pretty much a default choice for me. On the last blog I worked with someone on (though I had limited input on the design itself – I’m working on the Social Media side), I’m trying out Ultimate Google Analytics and Social Bookmarks.
