Zu Beginn sollte man ein paar grundlegende Plugins verwenden:

Akismet
SpamSchutz vom feinsten. Man registriert sich einfach mit seinem WordPress.com Account und kann loslegen. Das Plugin sichert einen zuverlässig gegen Spam in den Kommentaren des Blogs ab. Dies geschieht über eine Blacklist, eine Whitelist und eine Greylist.

Gregarious
Liefert zu jedem Post die passenden Social-Bookmarking Tools, wie Digg.com, del.icio.us, Technorati, etc…

Simple Tags
Vereinfacht und optimiert die Tag-Funktionalität von WordPress (ab Version 2.3.x). Am Anfang überschautman noch die Tags der Seite, aber deren Anzahl wächst schneller als man glaubt. Danach ist das Chaos nur mit solch einem Plugin zu verhindern. Simple Tags optimiert auch die SEO-Fähigkeiten des Blogs. Automatische Keywords runden das Paket ab.

Auto-hyperlink-URL

Dies sind natürlich nur die wichtigsten Plugins, ohne die man nicht beginnen sollte, da sie einem das Leben mit dem eigenen WordPress Blog vereinfachen.
