WordPressAZIndex is a plugin that makes it easy to create index pages.

Enhance your blog by creating multiple, three-level alphabetical indexes of your posts based on any combination of post title, author, extract, tags, categories, or custom fields of your choice. Select which posts are included in your indexes using a combination of categories and tags, display them in up to four columns on a single page or over multiple pages.

WP-SpamFree anti-spam plugin for WordPress

WordPressIf you want to keep comment spam to a minimum, install WP-SpamFree.

An extremely powerful anti-spam plugin for WordPress that virtually eliminates comment spam, including trackback and pingback spam. Finally, you can enjoy a spam-free WordPress blog! Includes spam-free contact form feature as well.

This plugin helped me stop a comment spam attack on one of my blogs. Akismet let a lot of the spam through but WP-SpamFree stopped it completely.

Tweet This plugin for WordPress

WordPressI wanted an easy way for visitors to tweet about my blog posts. Found Tweet This and use it in my blogs.

A plugin that adds a Twitter link to every post and page, so your readers can share your blog entries on their Twitter accounts with ease. Shortens URLs in advance.

I like that you can either use your own blog links or pick one of many services that shorten URLs. The plugin also create links for StumbleUpon and some other social bookmarking sites.

I use shorter links based on my own blog links. The full link is this:

but TweetThis uses the shorter version:

Update.
I have switched and used the built-in bit.ly links.

Update October 11, 2009.
I have switched to the TweetMeme Button WordPress plugin which does retweets only.

Secure Form Mailer Plugin For WordPress

I use Secure Form Mailer Plugin For WordPress from Dagon Design on my blogs. There are other plugins like this but I like this one, it gives me all the options I need in an easy way.

This plugin has a wide range of features including: Support for multiple instances, an easy to use dynamic form generation system (any number of fields, in any order), multiple recipients, multiple file attachments, optional auto reply feature, an image verification system, numerous security features (including protection against email header injection), a message template system, multiple languages, and too many other things to list.

This plugin was designed to be easy to use, while still being extremely flexible. If you just want a simple contact form, you can set one up with just a few clicks.

I have switched to another plugin – see WordPress Plugins I Use.

Sociable – Social Bookmarking for WordPress

I am testing Sociable on this blog.

Sociable is a plugin which adds social media buttons to your posts, and does so easily, and beautifully.

At present you can choose from 99 different social bookmarking sites, far too many for me but it means you can pick the ones that are relevant for your blog.

The plugin is also available at The Sociable Plugin.

Update
I wanted a better tweet-functionality so I am testing Tweet This plugin for WordPress
