To use the widget just drag it to a sidebar and choose one of three button styles. You can also choose to show faces, faces will then be shown when using the standard button style. It is also possible to choose between the captions "Like" and "Recommend" and choose between a light and a dark color scheme.
From version 1.3 on you can enter your own title to be displayed above the widget. It is now also possible to use the XFBML version of the Facebook Like button.
Using shortcode: From version 1.4 on you can add a Facebook Like button to your page or post using shortcode. The simplest version is [like/] which will add a button using the standard colors and the permalink of the page or post. To use the XFBML mode instead of the default frame you add the attribute method="XFBML" to the short code. It could look like [like method="XFBML"/]
To further customize the button you can use the following attributes: * caption: valid options are "like" and "recommend" (like is default) * color: valid options are "light" and "dark" (light is default) * url: Any valid url will do
Some examples of correct usage of this shortcode are: [like/] [like method="XFBML"/] [like caption="recommend"/] [like color="dark"/] [like method="XFBML" url="http://www.wordpress.org"/]
Using the XFBML mode: Depending on your setup, you may need to load the Javascript SDK to be able to use the XFBML mode in the widget and shortcode. Please refer to Javascript SDK on Facebook for more information.
This plugin will generate a special XML sitemap which will help search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo and Ask.com to better index your blog.

Imsanity automatically resizes huge image uploads down to a size that is more reasonable for display in browser, yet still more than large enough for typical website use. The plugin is configurable with a max width, height and quality. When a contributor uploads an image that is larger than the configured size, Imsanity will automatically scale it down to the configured size remove the original image.
Imsanity also provides a bulk-resize feature to selectively resize previously uploaded images to free up disk space.
This plugin is ideal for blogs that do not require hi-resolution original images to be stored and/or the contributors don't want (or understand how) to scale images before uploading.

When adding an image to a post or page, usually a thumbnail is inserted and linked to the image in original size. All images in posts and pages can be displayed in a colorbox when the thumbnail is clicked. Images are grouped as galleries when linked in the same post or page. Groups can be displayed in a slideshow.
Individual images can be excluded by adding a special CSS class.
jQuery Colorbox can also open linked content (external as well as inline) in a Colorbox.

This plugin allows you to customize the logo on the WordPress login screen. There is zero configuration. You just drop the logo file into your WordPress content directory, named login-logo.png and this plugin takes over.
Note that you should use a transparent background on the PNG image, crop it tightly (no padding pixels) and use a width of exactly 312 pixels for best results. Wider images will be downscaled in modern browsers, but it isn't recommended to rely on that.
This plugin also works in the mu-plugins directory.
MimeTypes Link Icons is a plugin that looks for uploads in your blogs posts and adds a nice icon next to it. Option to add file size next to item.

Regenerate Thumbnails allows you to regenerate the thumbnails for your image attachments. This is very handy if you've changed any of your thumbnail dimensions (via Settings -> Media) after previously uploading images or have changed to a theme with different featured post image dimensions.
You can either regenerate the thumbnails for all image uploads, individual image uploads, or specific multiple image uploads.
See the screenshots tab for more details.
Update: From version 1.4 you can now exclude pages by ID! This was a commonly requested feature. Also, ALL posts are now listed and are not restricted by the Settings -> Reading value.
This is probably the easiest way to add a powerful HTML sitemap to your site!
Unique and intuitive way to display your website content by simply adding a single shortcode [simple-sitemap] to a page. See the Plugin screenshots for examples.
The order and style in which your blog posts and pages are displayed on the screen depends on the drop-down box option chosen. Post/pages are rendered as a single linked list of titles, or they can be grouped by date, author, category, and tag (each heading acts as a link the the relevant taxonomy type as well).
This gives your visitors an efficient way to view ALL site content in ONE place. It is also great for SEO purposes and makes it easier for spiders to index your site.
Available sorting options for pages are:
and for posts:
To display the shortcode on a page, or post (though I recommended you add it to a page) just add the shortcode [simple-sitemap]. Then, simply publish the page and you will now have a sitemap enabled on your website.
