  1. Good move! Word­Press is a pleasure.

    Some plu­g­ins that you might find use­ful:
    * Spam Karma 2 (absolutely incred­i­ble) — http://​unknown​ge​nius​.com/​b​l​o​g​/​w​o​r​d​p​r​e​s​s​/​s​p​a​m​-​k​a​r​ma/
    * Audio Player (slick way to include audio on the site) — http://​www​.1pix​elout​.net/​c​o​d​e​/​a​u​d​i​o​-​p​l​a​y​e​r​-​w​o​r​d​p​r​e​s​s​-​p​l​u​g​in/
    * Live (for the stat addicted, it shows the ip of some­one on your blog while they are there, whether or not they are on the site or rss, if they are leave­ing a com­ment etc) — http://​www​.head​zoo​.com/​l​ive
    * Flickr Photo Gallery (adds a tab on the upload box that allows you to eas­ily paste sev­eral size pic­tures from your Flickr account) — http://​www​.tan​tan​noo​dles​.com/​t​o​o​l​k​i​t​/​p​h​o​t​o​-​a​l​b​um/
    * Sub­scribe to com­ments (gives your read­ers the abil­ity to request an email when some­one replies to a par­tic­u­lar com­ment thread) — http://​txfx​.net/​c​o​d​e​/​w​o​r​d​p​r​e​s​s​/​s​u​b​s​c​r​i​b​e​-​t​o​-​c​o​m​m​e​n​ts/
    * Time Zone (auto­mates day­light sav­ings time adjust­ments so that the times on your posts are always cor­rect) — http://​kimmo​.suomi​nen​.com/​s​w​/​t​i​m​e​z​o​ne/

  2. I had used Word­Press way back when on an inter­nal web server at work and thought it was great. It replaced a Mov­able Type instal­la­tion that crashed when the Berke­ley DB got cor­rupted. I switched it to MySQL after that but the whole expe­ri­ence left a bad taste so I changed to Word­Press and never regret­ted it.

    I’m still tin­ker­ing with things so thanks for the list of plugins.
