Twitter Sub-Heading  (2009-12-26)

This plugin will change the description of your blog (or subheading) to your latest Twitter update. [read full description]

This plugin will let you enter your twitter username and every 5 minutes will download your latest Twitter status and then show it as the blogs sub-heading. Please not that you must have a... <?php bloginfo('description'); ?> in your themes header file before this plugin will work.

This plugin is extremely simple, in fact the entire plugin itself is under 100 lines of code. Once you add the administration panel then the code lines goes up to about 200. This plugin is entirely secure as it gets no data from a any user of your blog. For example the only input that this plugin takes is the Twitter username that you want to get the latest status of. This plugin does not need you password and so makes it even more secure. As I said above I did have to limit the amount of calls to the twitter API. You can of course change this from the administration panel, It is possible to put it to update every minute however in cases that the Twitter server load is high then they restrict the amount of API calls to sometimes as low as 30 per hour. If you leave it at 5 then you are pretty much guarenteed that this plugin will be able to access this API 99.99% of the time (barring the situation that the Twitter server is down).

Image Symlinks  (2010-04-20)

Extremely simple wrapper for TimThumb which adds an [img] shortcode for inserting symlink images. [read full description]

This plugin is an alternative to the builtin Wordpress image system. Instead of resizing images on upload, it resizes images when you need them, and according to the sizes you specify. The only difference is, you insert images using an [img] shortcode instead of the img HTML tag.

New in 0.6: Insert images in the bulk. The image insertion box will no longer close upon inserting an image, allowing you to insert a bunch of pictures in just a few clicks.

NextPage Buttons  (2009-12-21)

The NextPage button is a simple plugin that brings back the NextPage button in the WordPress editor toolbar. [read full description]

This is a simple plugin to put the <!--nextpage--> buttons back in the WordPress editor Toolbars.

The only caveat to using this plugin is that it uses functionality that has been in the WordPress core but hidden since the NextPage button was removed not long ago. All the functionality for handling the <!--nextpage--> tag via the editor toolbar is there in the WordPress core. The JavaScript functions are loaded as well as the CSS, but the buttons are not added to the toolbar. This plugin adds those buttons to the toolbar.

If you're OK with having functionality that could break in the next revision to WordPress then use this until anything does change in WordPress.

WP Smart Image II  (2010-07-13)

Powerful, reliable and lightweight plugin which helps you to easily show post images and handle them. Essential tool for web designers and developers. [read full description]

WP Smart Image II is a Wordpress plugin which gives you a whole control over the thumbnails that you wish to show with posts and pages (e.g. the index of a website).

This plugin combines the best image management functionalities in WordPress and turn their handling in a very easy job.

How works WP Smart Image II

WP Smart Image II takes all Wordpress image functions and put on your hands in a simple and right way.

"Right way"?... Are there wrong ways to show post images?

Yes! Custom fields (e.g.) is a very wrong and annoying way to do this job. If you are used custom fields to assign images to posts, with WP Smart Image II will forget all the extra work and will enjoy the real process automation that has been in WordPress all this time and probably you never knew existed.

What's the problem with Wordpress native image engine?

No problem! Otherwise, the WordPress image engine is one of the most advanced and flexible ones so far. WordPress offers a wide range of functionalities and tags, which allows for and easy handling of images and files, associating them with posts, categories, pages and other elements with total freedom.

However, the problem with all these funcionalities is that finding the propper way to associate data and get a specific result can get really hard. In an attempt to do that, many people have tried to do it by setting through custom fields, ignoring that WordPress has a large platform with many resources at our disposal to do that.

What isn't Wp Smart Image II?

It is not a filter that works inside the content. WP Smart Image II only works in the template areas and it's use is focused to the template's file system.

It is not a plugin that changes other functionalities behaviour. It's a resource that lets you take advantage of the already existing functionalities provided by WordPress.
