I thought I’d share some of the widgets and plugins that I use a lot. These are the top 3 that I use for my blog.

Top Commentators Widget : This plugin creates a widget to show the top commentators in your WP site. The Top Commentators Widget plugin is adapted from Show Top Commentators plugin at Personal Financial Advice.

Twitter Widget Pro : A widget that properly handles twitter feeds, including parsing @username, #hashtag, and URLs into links. It supports displaying profiles images, and even lets you control whether to display the time and date of a tweet or how log ago it happened (about 5 hours ago, etc).

Simple Social Buttons adds ( with lots of options like Sidebar, inline, above and below the posts content, on photos, popups, fly ins ) an advanced set of social media sharing buttons to your WordPress sites, such as: Facebook, WhatsApp, Viber, Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn and Pinterest.
