As a blogger I find more and more tools and widgets each day, some are great and either same time for me or my reader
The first tool I add to my new blog is always the social bookmarking buttons which you can see at the top and bottom of each post
2 of the best tools are from http://www.addthis.com/ and www.seocenrto.com
These buttons make it easy for the reader to quickly submit your blog post to sites such as www.digg.com and stumbleupon.

The second tool is a simple one www.feedburner.com allows you to offer your reader the chance to subscribe to your blog and
enables you to build a mailing list

As I use wordpress here are my essential plugins
