Very useful plugins..
i found it..thanks guys !!
Nice list. This is what I’m looking for.
Your timing is perfect. I just started looking into how to get these..thanks
Thanks very much! Nice variety to look at and choose from!
These are some nice plugins, but nothing can beat adding them manually. People should try and find themes that already come with the functions they need (if they are not php, html and css experienced). Plugins tend to slow down your site, some aren’t coded very well and overall they are not as efficient.
really useful plugins for wordpress bloggers.
Excellent grouping, some great options…

For Slideshows I like “NextGen Gallery” with the Plugin “NextGen Smooth Gallery”. I think this is the perfect combination.
