[Submerge]

Hey guys, I'm starting my very own blog and was wondering if you guys could suggest any good word press plugins? It'll be a personal/web-business blog. Thank you.:)

These plugins are outthere:
some recommended on DP (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=137048) and 10 basic plugins (http://www.cypherhackz.net/archives/2006/08/31/a-must-have-10-wordpress-plugins-for-your-website/), you "must" have.

I guess you already discovered this site (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/) which links to most WP plugins. It's a Word Press official site, so I believe all plugins are clean.

Nope didn't know abut it, thanks though :)

I also added the MyBlogLog widget to my blog :)

Add a hot chick to your admin page plug-in.

[Submerge]

Is that a real plug-in lol, cause that sounds pretty desperate to see hot chicks everyday. I don't think I'd add those useless plug-ins, like the pre-packaged Hello Dolly plug-in for the admin panel.

[boron]

Someone has bad experience with non-official WP plugins (spyware...)?

[Sunfrog]

Yes, it is a real plug-in. I think it's called Hot-or-Not or something like that. I thought it was a ratings type plug in but when I clicked it it said it was to add a different hot or not chick to your admin page. :)

I'm looking for wp plug ins too. I need one that hides categories for people under a certain level.

[Submerge]

Couldn't you just code a simple php script that looked at the users user level? I think it would be easier being custom than a plug-in.

No, I can't code anything. I don't know the php. I only know the XHTML and some of the Flash. Btw, I can talk English, I just like throwing an extra "the" in my sentences every once in a while. It's because I was at work last week and some lady asked me where she could find some cd's by the Snoop Dog. That same week, the president said he does the google. I do the google too.

Akismet is the only essential one if you ask me

Akismet is great. The only problem is that a small <1% of posts are marked as spam when they're really not. Sucks for those people, because I rarely look at my Akismet spam other than to delete it. :D
