When I switched from blogger blog to worpress blog,I was unaware of the flexibility and power of the wordpress plugins.I searched whole plugins directory like a kid looking for a candy.Again the problem was which candy to choose from the shop,there are loads of available flavors.So I searched over the net and made a list of my favorite plugins which might be very useful for the beginners like me 
.Below is the list of the 10 plugins which you must have.
Wp Anti-spam:An extremely powerful WordPress anti-spam plugin that eliminates blog comment spam, including trackback and pingback spam. Finally, you can enjoy a spam-free WordPress blog! Includes spam-free contact form feature as well.
