Hey,
Thanks for your response. I've got askimet installed since it was a built in plugin and it has help with the spam.
And I have been looking at the other plugins mentioned. I was going to use: the "WordPress SEO by Yoast" plugin as it did seem to be the best, but your recommending All-in-One SEO pack. Have you heard of the Yoast plugin? Why one over the other?
As to my blog you can find it here
London Ontario Real Estate Blogs. As you can see it profiles homes and condos for sale as well as providing local real estate market information and I do have a few articles included as well.
My goal of the blog is the same as all real estate blog find clients and give my listings some extra exposure. I guess the additonal functions that I would like it to do would be able to push out notices of my blog posts to my facebook, twitter and other accounts. As well the ability to have a button to allow people to facebook "like" my content would be great as well.
