My old site was all about me writing stuff.  Don’t get me wrong, I love writing, but I know that I’m not the only guy out there doing this – I love learning from other people about things that I’d never known about otherwise.  Unfortunately, StumbleUpon is devoid of good WordPress articles (lots of theme pimping, though), and sometimes you just want to learn, you know?

So, starting with this post, I want to start getting input from you guys!  I want to bounce ideas and get some cool new thoughts from you guys – my readers.

I call it a “Tuesday Conversation” – every week, a new question with new answers and a possible end of the day recap to sum it all up.

Today’s question is simple, to start things off:

What plugins can you not live without on your WordPress site?

And bonus points for the more obscure ones – I’m all about discovering new plugins that do old stuff better (or that do things I never knew they could!)

Submit your plugins below in the comments.
