2. All in One SEO Pack: some developers don’t like this plugins but it’s lovely. You can customize all titles, keywords and metadescriptins from post, pages, home… You can block index the categories, tags…
3. Contact Form 7: you’ll need a contact form. This is your plugin. Fast easy and functional.

5. Google XML Sitemaps: I talked about it before. You must have it and send it to WebMaster tools of Google.
6. PuSHPress: if you want to post in real time this is your plugin. Just activate it and relax.
