I’ve installed and recommend the following WP plugins:
1. WP FancyZoom by Stephen Granade
http://granades.com/wp-fancyzoom-wordpress-plugin/
…FancyZoom is a nice, modern way of making popup images.
This is a “pluginized” version of Cabel Sasser’s FancyZoom which I had used on my old site. It rocks. [Cabel is one of the founders of Panic, Inc., makers of beautifully designed and highly useful Mac software. I use Transmit daily.] Thanks for the WP version Stephen.
2. Scissors by Stephan Reiter
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/scissors/
[Scissors] …adds cropping and resizing functionality to WordPress’ image upload and management dialogs.
Very handy and easy to use.
3. Google (XML) Sitemaps Generator by Arne Brachhold
http://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects/wordpress-plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-generator/
This plugin generates a XML-Sitemap compliant sitemap of your WordPress blog. This format is supported by Ask.com, Google, YAHOO and MSN Search.
