My favorite WordPress plugins

These are my personal “must install” plugins that I use on virtually every single WordPress site I set up.

This plugin allows you to add breadcrumbs on your posts and pages. Example: Home > WordPress 2.9 Tutorials

Adding breadcrumbs is good for two reasons:

They allow your users to easily navigate your site
They allow search engines to determine the structure of your site more easily

This is my utmost favorite contact form plugin for WordPress. Multiple forms, multiple recipients, completely customizable. I seldom ever use another form.

3. HeadSpace 2

I used to use the All in One SEO Pack plugin but recently switched to HeadSpace after having conflict issues with it and other plugins. HeadSpace, in my opinion, is so much easier to use! I love the mass editing feature, allowing you to make general edits to categories, posts etc all at once. Makes optimizing meta tags super easy.
