At the last count I think I have something like 40 different plugins installed and running on this site…. here are some of my favourites…

1. The Wibiya Toolbar

We posted about this back in July - Wibiya toolbar on WordPress. This has got to be my favourite plugin….  not only because it can bring together so many things like Facebook and Twitter, but you can also use it on other CMS’s like Joomla and Ning.

You’ll have to go over to www.wibiya.com to create, customise and manage your very own Wibiya Toolbar. Here’s our video looking at what we’ve set-up…

2. LinkWithin

We brifely mentioned this back in June when looking at Related Posts Plugins. To be honest this is one of the first plugins I’d suggest installing to anyone! Just looking at our referral pages we know you like using it too!

To set yourself up with either a 3, 4 or 5 thumbnail plugin head over to www.linkwithin.com

8. WPtouch

The WPtouch iPhone Theme automatically transforms your WordPress blog into an iPhone application-style theme, when viewed from an iPhone, iPod touch, Android, Opera Mini, Palm Pre and BlackBerry Storm mobile devices.

9. Twitter Button
Tweet

For me even if you’re not on Twitter every site should have some sort of social sharing buttons. I like to keep things nice and simple so the official Twitter button works for me.

Feel free to Tweet this by the way!

10. Stream Video Player

There are quite a few video streaming plugins but I quite like this one. Stream Video Player is easy to use with a tag generator in the editor, support for viewing on the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, support for YouTube and Pseudo-Streaming so you can randomly seek any place of your videos without having to load the entire video before.
