Broken Link Checker 0.4.14 - which I'm using to resolve some of the migration issues that are bound to arise DandyID Services 1.4.9 - which is providing the widget for my social bookmarks Duplicate Sidebar Widgets 1.0 - which is allowing me to have the same content on multiple sidebars. FD Feedburner Plugin 1.4 - which is doing the feedburner redirection Flickr Photo Album 1.1 - which is showing my Flickr pictures (still need to sort the CSS for this one) Google Analytics for WordPress 2.9.1 - Analytics, enough said. Google XML Sitemaps 3.1.2 - sitemaps, enough said MaxBlogPress Favicon 2.0.9 - gives a favicon ShareThis 2.3 - For the ShareThis capability on the posts Twitter Widget 1.0.3 - Provides the Twitter widget, allowing me to strip out some updates. WordPress.com Stats - State, enough said. I'm then just using the standard widgets for Recent Comments, Recent Posts, RSS, Tags, Categories and Archives. I'm looking at changing the categories and tags ones because they don't quite work how I would like them. Hope that helps. My full list of plugins are as follows:

DandyID Services 1.4.9 – which is providing the widget for my social bookmarks
Duplicate Sidebar Widgets 1.0 – which is allowing me to have the same content on multiple sidebars.

I too like the 3 column layout, though I´m not happy with mine yet. :-( Would be interested to know what plugins/widgets you're using. I meant to comment the other day when I saw it, I love it!
