What plugins do you always add to your wordpress blogs?

I have a few I always add, but I would like to see what you guys like to have integrated into your blog.

Here are the ones I currently have installed on my personal blog.

After The Deadline
Akismet
All in One SEO Pack
DBC Backup
FD Feedburner Plugin
Google XML Sitemaps
KB Linker <-- Very cool, check it out
Smart Youtube
Social Media Page
StatPress <--- I use this a lot
Twitter Widget Pro
W3 Total Cache
WP-EMail
WP-Optimize
WPtouch iPhone Theme <-- I love this when it works

I'm always removing some stuff and trying other plugins out.

 

What plugins do you always add to your blogs?

Contact Form 7 - I really like this one it's really versatile, can make more than one form etc.

Askimet gets activated right after install of course.

Subscribe to Comments - Emails a commenter when there are new comments.

CommentLuv - Automatically links commenter last blog post based on URL entered. It's good but I have to figure out how to disable no follow.

Subscribe2 - Email subscriptions to new posts I'd really like to use feedburner and do away with this (as they do post to email) but I'm syndicated a couple of places and don't want to be bothered.

All In One SEO Pack - Awesome SEO options.

XML Sitemaps - Self explanatory

WP DB Backup - Emails me a DB every morning

WP-Optimize : Cleans up revisions and optimizes the DB on demand.

Use the plugins only if you really required. avoid using the plugins which are not required. remove all the plugins which are not used, as it will slow down the performance of your site. just deactivating the plugins will not help. if you don't use it delete the plugin from your plugins directory.

 

here is one I found yesterday that is pure gold
SEO SearchTerms Tagging 2

 

All in one SEO
XML sitemap
Youtube embed
WP Chache
Easy Privacy Policy

 

Akismet, the Google sitemap, and TweetThis.

Anything else is just fun.

Aye, thanks for the links Brandon!

Do you know if the Sociable plugin is compatible with the latest version of WP?

 

All in One SEO Pack is the plugin I download right after installing the wordpress onto my domain. It is hands down a must.

 

Akismet
Genesis Framework
(most of the time) Gravity Forms.

That is it for ALWAYS used mods.

 

Akismet, wp super cache, contact form 7. I have ditched many 'theme related' plugins, since I know how to code my themes to have more features I need.
