I choose to install following three plugins:
 * Tiny Emotions
 The Tiny Emotions plugin re-adds smilies and  other emotion icons to the TinyMCE Rich Visual Editor The TinyMCE emotions plugin 
 is normally bundled with TinyMCE, but it has be removed from the version within WordPress. This plugin puts it back in.
 
 To download the plugin, follow this link:

 - chmod a+x tiny-emotions.php
 - Activate the plugin

 * Twitme
 This plugin allows you to automatically post your new posts on the twitter website. This is good because for example the iPod and 
 iPhone for example have a large amount of twitter clients to pick from. Your blog posts will arrive to people while they are 
 walking the streets.

 need to come up with your own witty sayings. It provides instant access to one of the largest collections of random quotes, 
 witticisms, sayings, jokes and trivia on the net and displays one of them on your page.
