The new site has the following plugins: Akismet - awesome for keeping spam at bay. Awesome Flickr Gallery - two choices of galleries plus it saves hosting your images on your site, stick them on flickr and link to them. Google XML Sitemap - a must Jetpack - comes with loads of awesome features, I use a few but not all of them, the stats one is good. WP - recaptcha- does what it says on the time WP - stats dashboard- helps track your site needs jetpack to work though
To be honest, I have no idea since my site still hasn't been released yet, but I've heard very good things about it.

Akismet CubePoints - point system for users to collect points. Disqus Comment System - commenting system Multi-Column Taxonomy List - styls and displays my list of categories Post Ratings - rate posts Types - Complete Solution for Custom Fields and Types - great tool to create new taxonomies User Role Editor - creates new roles, edit roles and capabilities.
