Five lesser-known — but great — WordPress plugins

1. Login LockDown -- adds extra security to WordPress by restricting the number of failed login attempts.
2. SexyBookmarks -- sure, there are many ways to add lists of sharing icons and links to your posts -- but this one is pretty.
3. wp-Typography -- easily improve the typography on your site, em and en dashes, hyphenation, and much more.
4. WP Greet Box -- give a simple little welcome message to visitors coming via various referrers, like Stumbleupon or Digg.
5. WP Minify -- compress CSS and Javascript to speed up page loads. It can be a little tricky -- I find I have to specifically exclude all 3rd-party scripts and stylesheets -- but it's highly effective.

Hey thanks for mentioning SexyBookmarks! You’re right, there are tons of ways to add sharing icons to your site… but… How many of them have been mentioned in the NY Times? haha
