If you’re running a company blog (and if not, why not?), the chances are that you’ll be using WordPress.
But if you’re not using the right plugins, you’re not getting the most from your blog. So here’s The FirstFound Blog’s three favourite plugins:
Google Analytics for WordPress: Does exactly what it says on the tin. Adds Analytics tracking code to your site, so that you can monitor traffic to your blog, learn who’s visiting you, and find out which of your posts are most popular.
Sociable: Helps you harness Social Media to promote your posts. Sociable is fully customisable, so you can target as many or as few sites as you like. Although Twitter, Digg, Facebook and Mixx are a must!
HeadSpace2: If you want your blog to rank on the search engines, you’ll need to edit the site’s meta data. HeadSpace2 helps you do just that, quickly and easily.
If you’ve got any to add to our list, leave us a comment!

Nice article! At your suggestion, I have added Sociable. I already use Google Analytics for WordPress. Instead of HeadSpace2, I am using All in One SEO Pack. Does HeadSpace2 have an advantage of SEO Pack?
I’m considering Gigya Socialize
http://wiki.gigya.com/050_Socialize_Plugins/030_Wordpress_Plugin
because it will allow users to log in with their SM credentials, and post comments right from my site. Unfortunately, the Gigya WordPress plugin is not working all that well right now. Supposed to in the next revision.
