Disqus Comment System
My opinion : If you are searching for some great plugin for blog comments system then this is the one. I feel the default comments system in wordpress is not that good. When i had my first post on my blog, at that time only i had decided to replace the comments system. I kept on searching for an alternative. I crossed disqus comments system many times but i didn’t download it.
Instead i was searching for a plugin which would allow visitors to comment using their social networking sites. For example: if a facebooker wants to comment he can log in to Facebook and then comment. Similarly if a googler wants to comment, he can log in to Google and then comment. But all such plugins were most likely premium plugins, that means i had to pay / buy them to use the plugin. Then i finally decided to download and install disqus comments system and i can’t express how satisfied i am with this plugin.
Features : This plugin allows the visitor to comment using their social profiles, disqus profile or by direct name and email id. Easy to integrate. You can change colors to match with your website. And great comments moderation system as well. Other features include top commenters, popular threads, thread rating, etc.
Settings : So if you are asking me how to use this plugin then the answer is just install this plugin and then after installing disqus will ask you to register on their website before using the plugin. Don’t worry its free. Just register and follow their instructions. You will get a short code for you website, just enter it in your plugin to activate it. And after activating you can find disqus in Comments > Disqus.
Really simple Facebook Twitter share buttons
My opinion : The most important plugin for a blog is the one which helps to promote the blog. And by promoting i mean sharing it to others. Every blog must have share buttons on every page. If not every page, at least on the blog posts page. This allows the visitors to share the articles with their friends and thus promoting your blog and helps to get more traffic to your blog. Currently i am using this plugin on my blog, there maybe other better plugins out there. But i am satisfied with this one.
Features : This plugin shows different social sharing buttons on your post. You can set their position according to your preferences. For my blog posts i have chosen to keep the sharing buttons at the bottom of my post.
Settings : Just install the plugin on your wordpress blog.
You can find the plugin settings in Settings > Really Simple Share.
OrangeBox
My opinion : I don’t know exactly how to describe it. But to see it practically, you can visit any post in my blog containing a image. And then click on it. The image will be displayed in a box on the same screen, clicking on it again will zoom the image. If you have multiple images in one blog posts then these will be grouped together in orangebox. So when you click on an image in a post, it will appear on screen with left and right arrows for viewing the previous and next image respectively. Even videos can be viewed in similar way. I am just in love with this plugin. Its awesome. It makes the images and videos to be viewed beautifully.
Features : Well i described most of the features in the above paragraph only. So to see what exactly it does, you can see the screenshots on the official orangebox plugin at the wordpress.org. Click here to see the screenshots.

Features : Displays which spiders are tracking your blog. Displays the number of visits by spiders to your blog and also the percentage of one spider from another with a green tracking bar.

Related Posts Thumbnails
My opinion : If you want to show related posts just below a thread, then this plugin can help you out. This plugin puts related posts along with excerpts and thumbnails just below your thread. I am not totally satisfied with this plugin, i am still searching for a better one. Because if i change the thumbnail size through media settings from 150×150 to something else. Then the thumbnails of the related posts go blank or cause problems. So if you know any good plugin you can comment below. But till then i will just work out with this plugin.
Features : Shows related posts below the thread. The threads can be either random, from same category or from same tag. Thus the user will gain more interest in your site.
Settings : The plugin settings are located in Settings > Related Posts Thumbs.
