WordPress Plugins I Use and Love

I get asked all the time what plugins I use on my WordPress site. So I thought I would just share them with everyone.
These are the WordPress plugins I use and love. Some are free and some are premium plugins but they all add some great features to WordPress and make my life a little easier. Of course, depending on my current needs on a particular site, I may use other plugins as well but these are the ones that are a must for me.
