Jamie Zoch at DOTWeekly has a useful article where he lists the plug-ins he finds to be critical for all of his blogs:
FCKeditor

You should go to his blog to see his detailed comments on each plug-in.
I myself would add to that list Wordpress.com Stats.
While Google Analytics provides in-depth information, often as a blogger, its either too much or not quite the information you need. The Wordpress Stats plug-in gives you statistics that you care about.
Last, I recommend getting your own good domain name, and using ICDSoft for Web Hosting. I have used ICDSoft for over five years now and I have never been happier with a service provider PERIOD. They have 24-7 support, and usually resolve the issue within an hour. Oftentimes, they have even fixed my code!
ICDSoft for Web Hosting!

Does anyone know of a cheap but reliable web hosting company?’-.
i always buy domain names at Godaddy or Moniker because they are the most reliable registrars,~,
