		<description>CM,

Yeah, Analytics is pretty huge in terms of what you can do with it. I know very few people who aren&#039;t making a full-time living from e-commerce that really get the full value out of it. For a free package, the feature set is crazy. At a past company I used an analytics package that cost several thousand dollars a month, and it really wasn&#039;t any better than Google Analytics.

Both plugins you mentioned are great, I&#039;m actually going to install Commentluv on here and give it a go. When you interact with other bloggers, it&#039;s invaluable for making your blog &quot;stickier&quot; and getting more good comments. I&#039;d use Flickr Gallery if I took more photos :)

One of my favorite things about WordPress is the variety and quality of free themes. Some paid themes are worth it, but you can get a long way with free themes plus a small amount of tweaking. Thanks for the compliment on my theme, it&#039;s actually a free one too! Unless the free themes you&#039;re finding just aren&#039;t meeting your needs, I&#039;d stick with a free theme as long as you need to.

Thanks for dropping by! I&#039;ll be checking out your blog too. Anything with &quot;opinionated&quot; in the title piques my curiosity. See you on PB.</description>

		<description>I have all those plugins, doesn&#039;t mean I&#039;m using them to their full potential though ;). Analytics for example.  CommentLuv and Flickr Gallery are two are I really like, use and consider important- to me any ways.

Since my only Wordpress blog right now is mainly for my own amusement, I&#039;m using a free theme I uploaded right through WP but once I&#039;m ready to revamp one of my dormant sites I&#039;ll be using this list.

Speaking of themes this one is pretty sweet.

See you at PB.</description>

		<description>Thanks Lakita,

You&#039;re absolutely right about pinging more sites. I&#039;m actually going to write about that in my &lt;a href=&quot;http://beaublackwell.com/blogging/wordpress-tips/wordpress-tip-ping-sites-exposure/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;next post&lt;/a&gt;. Thanks for the feedback and reminding me about pinging.</description>

		<description>This is a great list...you are right about the About page...I was surprised how many visits that got early on.  I would include it is essential to check your discussion settings...do you want to moderate comments, notifications, etc

Also, edit/update the ping list.

Finally, I would add the NO SELF PINGS plugin to the list :)
