The TechVivo blog has compiled a list of plugins for WordPress blogs.

I am already using about a quarter of them, such as the FeedBurner FeedSmith, Google XML Sitemaps Generator, and WordPress.com Stats plugin, and there are others I used and have since deactivated.

My favorite thing about lists like these is the discovery of plugins I haven’t heard about, yet.

The biggest problem I have day to day is spam, so I am most interested in Simple Trackback Validation and WP-Spam Free look interesting.

I’m currently running Akismet, Bad Behavior, and Disqus but spam comments and trackbacks are out of control.

I think I’ll probably grab WordPress Database Backup, too.
