Top WordPress plugins

I’m getting more and more comfortable with WordPress. WordPress is not difficult to use at all, but the more I dig into the guts of it the more I want to extend it. The easiest way to do this is of course via plugins. There are tons and tons of WP plugins out there. The Blog Join listed their top 10… I gotta say some of they sound seriously cool. The ones that really stand out are Google Sitemaps which generate Google compliant sitemaps of your WordPress blog, SRG Clean Archives a super clean archive, and WP Paginate which lets you create pagination for static pages (something I’ve always found limiting in WP).
