"There are lots of posts dedicated to showing you wordpress plugins that enhance your post functionality and add features but not many that focus on helping you clean and maintain a secure and orderly backend. I’ll include a few you may have seen before but also a few new ones to help keep things running smoothly.

(cue dramatic voice over guy)
In a world where blogging has become mainstream now more than ever these are the two plugins you need … if you download only two plugins all year make sure it’s these two …

OK maybe that was a bit overly dramatic but really these two EVERYONE should be using...."

Nice post, thanks for sharing.Note that if your tech savvy you can also make it VERY easy to upgrade your Wordpress by installing it with Subversion (SVN). When I update workpress I do it with one key command: "SVN up" and that is all.

After fooling around with WordPress for what has seemed to be a couple of years, I really cannot say that most plugins are helpful at all. My FREE WordPress blogs are doing better than my paid one. WordPress wont let the free bloggers add plugins at all.What all these plugins really do is dream up more reasons to avoiding dealing with the main issue of writing new posts.

How are lpugins not helpful John?  I really dont see how you explain that in your post.  Comparing the success of hosing on the WP server or on your own really is not being discussed here.I also have no idea why you think plugins replace posts.Confused???????

Using Cross Linker with Go Codes sounds interesting. Anyone tried that yet?
