WordPress has long been used for helping people to easily create a functional and attractive looking weblog, but only recently have people started to use it for CMS purposes and even business blogging.
When you go to build a professional business blog, you need to bring a different mindset to the table. Many of the popular WordPress plugins often won’t apply to your average business blog. So what plugins should your business blog use?
WebHypes has taken the time to throw together a great list of 15 WordPress plugins that are ideal for a professional blog. You’ll find a few of the usual suspects, but you’ll also get a bunch of other plugins you might not have thought of.

I was hoping for the “WP Shopping Cart” plugin that accepts major credit cards instead of just PayPal.

@ Skarld - That is a great idea, but I think that would go beyond what a plugin author could do. You would need a service that allows you to accept credit cards or a deal directly with Visa/MasterCard to make something like that happen.
I suppose it wouldn’t be that difficult for someone to just make a plugin that puts a “I accept credit cards” logo of some sort on their site in the sidebar.
Good idea!
