Feedburner Feedsmith
Your WordPress blog comes with two feeds, one for your content and one for you comments. People very rarely subscribe to the comments so we can ignore this one. What the Feedburner Feedsmith plugin does is automatically converts your wordpress feed into the Feedburner feed to maximize control and syndication of your content through feedburner.

Google Analytics Plugin
There are tons of different types of analytic software out there but most use Google Anayltics. This plugin will allow you to integrate the Google javascript snippet throughout the pages of your site automatically.

Automatic Google Sitemap Generator
This handy tool automatically rewrites your sitemap as many times a day as you need it to. You can also specify priority of content and how often that content should be checked for updates. It will automatically write and add the sitemap.xml and sitemap.xml.gz zipped file to your root directory.

Head META Description pluging
Head Meta Description provides an automatic meta description tag for your blog, inserting a dynamic description depending on the query-type (i.e. page you’re on). Very useful tool as WordPress doesn’t do this automatically.

Optimal Title Plugin
This allows you to move your blogs name to the back of the title instead of having it written first.

Redirection Plugin
Instead of having to deal with .htaccess markup, you can simply install this plugin and you can manage all your redirects from within WordPress

Robots META Plugin
This plugin will allow you the edit your robots.txt file from within WordPress. Also has some additional functionality with allow/deny options.

ShareThis Plugin
This one isn’t necessary but it helps from an SEM standpoint. This pluging allows you or your readers to easily post your content to bookmarking or social news sites. You can add or subtract sites at will. Also allows your readers to email your posts.

“Typical suggestions will include names, technical terms or obscure language that may not be familiar to some readers. Only words confirmed by the author will be linked to definitions, assuring full editorial control.”

I can see how this would be beneficial in some way. If I ever come across a term I don’t recognize I’ll often navigate away from the page to Google the term or go to Dictionary.com. However, the obvious benefactor here is Answers.com. Not so long ago Answers.com acquired Dictionary.com. After this Google significantly dropped Answers.com in the index. This new maneuver by Answers.com and WordPress kind of hits Google in its soft underbelly. Google loves blogs and content. Combine blogging with a widget like AnswerLinks and you have a winning combination. I’m not sure how many self hosted WordPress users are going to use a feature like this but those who host on WordPress will be at least likely to try it out. Smart move Answers Corp! Let’s see if it works out for you.

Add this code, you should be able to see where it belongs:

, 'sphinn' => array(
'name' => 'Sphinn'
, 'url' => 'http://sphinn.com/submit.php?url={url}&title={title}'
)

click ‘Update File’.

Now, right click the Sphinn graphic displayed here and save the file to your desktop. Upload this file to your Share This Word Press Plugins folder at:

You’re done! You can now bookmark to Sphinn with your Share This WordPress plugin!
