		<description>Hi Gwil, great to see you return to wordpress and hopefully start to blog more.  I like your new site, a simple theme but makes the content really clear,

Re your email on what wordpress plugins do I recommend.  Here are a few, in no particular order.

Askimet - Comes with the basic wordpress install and fights spam

All in One SEO Pack - Works with your site as a whole and your posts to ensure it is SEO&#039;d up - Particularly Meta tags.  CHECK that your theme doesn&#039;t over ride it though, (by having the meta&#039;s twice in your page code.

cforms - if you want to make a contact us form.

Feedburner Feedsmith - Burn your RSS feed with Googles Feedburner, and they also offer a email &quot;newsletter&quot; which sends a daily email of your posts to your subscribers.

Google XML Sitemaps by Arne Brachold - This creates and manages your sitemap.  

Postalicious - Used to use this to &quot;Micro blog&quot;, any website I tag with delicious it would post every x at a time but I don&#039;t really bother with it now.

RSS Footer by Joost De Valk - Adds a footer, eg First published on Gwil.co.uk to every post (in case other websites scrape your content)

Simple Tags - Does many things but my favourite is that it suggests the tags I should use for each post using tag the net and yahoo.

Twitter tools, tweets your posts, posts your tweets or both!

Wordpress.com stats (the stats)

Wordpress Database Backup - (by Austin Matzko) allows you to set daily / weekly emails with your database 

WP Google Analytics - (By Aaron D Campell) Adds the Google analytics code to your site

Yet another Related Posts Plugin - Adds to the bottom of each post a list of automatically generated related posts.

Add to Any Share save bookmark - adds a share on digg etc etc etc button

Redirection - cos on one of my sites I messed up my permalinks


So thats what I use, your&#039;ll find for every task there are several plugins you can use, I don&#039;t often use the one that does the most, just the one that does what I want.

Let me know what you end up using!

Also I suggest you 301 redirect gwil.co.uk/drupal to gwil.co.uk for all your fans who had bookmarked your site!!!

All the best
