Staska.net have compiled a list of the Top 30 WordPress plugins based upon lists published by other bloggers. I’m only using 8 of the top 30 which I think is surprisingly low, and I was surprised to see that Spam Karma 2 and Comment Quicktags were missing.

What plugins would you have added to the list? Here’s the full list:

1. Akismet
2. Google Sitemap Generator
3. Related posts
4. WP-Contact Form
5. Wordpress database backup
6. Feedburner Feed Replacement
7. Ultimate Tag Warrior
8. Subscribe to comments
9. AdSense Deluxe
10. Gravatars
11. Jerome’s Keywords plugin
12. Optimal title
13. Sociable
14. WP-Cache 2.0
15. Popularity Contest
16. Sidebar Widgets
17. Wp_Notable
18. Simple Tags
19. Adhesive
20. Exec-php
21. Extended live archive
22. No ping wait
23. PodPress
24. SRG Clean Archives
25. WP-Page Navi
26. WP-Cron
27. Wp-Shortstat
28. Lightbox 2
29. del.icio.us cached

   I suppose that Spam Karma 2 was replaced by Akismet.

   The list is pretty extensive, not much to add to it. Though I do run a couple of custom plugins that help with certain tasks, or are effectively a part of the layout.
