 * Just installed 3.0.1 but before I start adding content, categories etc I was 
   wondering what plugins are recommended as no-brainers to have installed on it
   and why?
 * I know to an extent this is down to opinion, and answers may vary but all answers
   are appreciated 🙂

 * Askimet
    and Stats. You will need a a WordPress account its free. Stats will 
   show your page hits and where the referers are and Askimet is a well implimented
   spam management system both plugins are invisible to your visitors..

 * Definitely Akismet to prevent spam. Anything else should be more of a personal
   decision based on what features you want. If you’re curious, I keep a list of
   plugins that I recommend to my clients here:

 * Well, the first one I am playing with is an autoblog if that helps.
 * I will no doubt be making more WP sites but I want to get one of these set up
   first. I suppose answers for different types of site would be good … an autoblog,
   a CMS website with content but not comments, and a normal blog.
