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:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tiny-emotions/
- unzip tiny-emotions.0.01.zip
- Copy the whole directory to /usr/local/www/data/wordpress/wp-contents/plugins/
- 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.

To download the plugin, follow the link:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitme/
- unzip twitme.1.6.9.5.zip
- copy the whole directory to /usr/local/www/data/wordpress/wp-contents/plugins/
- chmod a+x twitme.php
- Activate the plugin

* Fortunate
Fortunate provides a hassle free random quotation on your blog. There are no databases to download or configure and you do not 
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.

To download the plugin, follow the link:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/fortunate/
