The My Snippets plugin displays custom snippets in the widget area of your choosing on a post-by-post basis. It allows you to easily display contextual content.
While the plugin is both simple and powerful, it'll never replace such plugins as Widget Logic and Widget Context nor is that the plan. What it does is allow you to add custom widget content from the Write Post/Page screen without having to go to your Widgets screen in the admin.
Features:
- Post-by-post (or page) widget content that you control.
- Extra widget for use on your site.
- Easy-to-use snippets settings box on the post/page editor.

You will need to re-activate these modules after upgrading. This will only be required once (i.e. it won't happen on the next upgrade).
YAK is an open source shopping cart plugin for WordPress. It associates products with weblog entries (in other words, posts), so the post ID also becomes the product code.

Duplicate Post==>Duplicate Post (2012-01-05)==>Create a copy of a post. read full description]
This plugin allows to clone a post or page, or edit it as a new draft.
In 'Edit Posts'/'Edit Pages', you can click on 'Clone' link below the post/page title: this will immediately create a copy and return to the list.
In 'Edit Posts'/'Edit Pages', you can click on 'New Draft' link below the post/page title.
On the post edit screen, you can click on 'Copy to a new draft' above "Cancel"/"Move to trash".
While viewing a post as a logged in user, you can click on 'Copy to a new draft' as a dropdown link under "Edit Post" in the admin bar.
2, 3 and 4 will lead to the edit page for the new draft: change what you want, click on 'Publish' and you're done.
Pay attention to the new behaviour! The first way now allows you to clone a post with a single click, speeding up your work if you have many posts to duplicate.
There is also a template tag, so you can put it in your templates and clone your posts/pages from the front-end. Clicking on the link will lead you to the edit page for the new draft, just like the admin bar link.
In the Options page under Settings it is now possible to choose what to copy:
- the original post/page date
- the original post/page status (draft, published, pending), when cloning from the posts list.
- the original post/page excerpt
- which taxonomies and custom fields
You can also set a prefix (or a suffix) to place before (or after) the title of the cloned post/page, and the roles allowed to clone posts or pages.
If you want to contribute to translate the plugin in languages other than English, there is a Launchpad translation project available (you can also send me an e-mail using the form on my website).
If you're a plugin developer, I suggest to read the section made just for you under "Other Notes", to ensure compatibility between your plugin(s) and mine.
Thanks for all the suggestions, bug reports, translations and donations, they're frankly too many to be listed here!
An example of use: I started this for a small movie theater website which I was building. Every Friday there's a new movie showing with a new timetable, and thus a new post: but sometimes a movie stays for more than a week, so I need to copy the last post and change only the dates, leaving movie title, director's and actors' names etc. unchanged. The website is http://www.kino-desse.org and the cinema is located in Livorno, Italy.

WP Social Blogroll==>WP Social Blogroll (2011-07-16)==>WP Social Blogroll (formerly known as Feed Reading Blogroll) allows you to add a social blogroll to your blog. read full description]
WP Social Blogroll adds a social blogroll to your blog. It will follow and display all updates of the sites in your blogroll. See the plugin page or the author's page for more details.
See this screenshot for example.
The plugin retrieves the date of the most recent feed-item of the bookmarked site. The feeds must be indexed by Google as the plugin uses Google's free AJAX Feed API.
You need a free Google API Key to get it to work. Based on Google's information, the age of the most recent feed-item is calculated and then displayed under each bookmark in your sidebar.
Your blogroll can be sorted by the freshness of the bookmarks.
Furthermore, the title and author of the freshest post and an icon for each bookmark can be displayed.
Get more info at the development blog (feed).

Amazon Product In a Post Plugin==>Amazon Product In a Post Plugin (2010-10-25)==>Quickly add formatted Amazon Products to post/page by using just the Amazon ASIN (ISBN-10). Great for monetizing your posts. read full description]
NOTE: Due to changes in Amazon's API call limitations on 10/15/2010, this plugin now requires you have an AWS Public and Private Key of your own to use. You can get a new Key by signing up at http://aws-portal.amazon.com/gp/aws/developer/account/index.html.
Amazon Product In a Post Plugin is used to to quickly add a formatted Amazon Product/Item to a post or page by using just the Amazon product ASIN (also known as the ISBN-10).
What can you use it for? With this plugin you can:
- Add any Amazon product or item to an existing Post (or Page).
- Monetize your blog posts with custom Amazon Product and add your own Reviews, descriptions or any other thing you would normally want to add to a post - and still have the Amazon product there.
- Easily add only the items that are right for your site.
- Add the product to the TOP of the post content, the BOTTOM of the post content, or make the post content become part of the product layout (see screenshots for examples)
- UPDATE 10/4/09 - You can now add as many products as you want to any existing page/post content using a Shortcode - see Installation or FAQ page for details.
- UPDATE 12/22/09 - Added French and Spanish language support for text labels in displayed product.
- UPDATE 1/3/10 - Added German Language support for text labels in displayed product.
If you have an Amazon Affiliate account and you don't think the available Amazon widgets are that great or are what you need, then this plugin might be for you.
How it Works: The plugin uses the newly revised (and re-named) Amazon Product Advertising API. Older plugins that use Old API calls will no longer work as of 8/2009 because Amazon implemented a new security call procedure that makes many of them obsolete.
To use the plugin, you must have an Amazon Affiliate Account. You can sign up here if you do not have one - it is free and pretty easy to do. Once you have an account, install the plugin, then enter your Amazon Associate ID in the plugin options page. You are now ready to start adding products to your post!
PLEASE NOTE: If you DO NOT add your own custom Associate ID, you WILL NOT get credit for any purchases made from your product posts - so don't set up products on a live site unless you enter that first - or you may lose out on some referral $$. You have been warned!

Admin Management Xtended==>Admin Management Xtended (2012-01-23)==>Adds AJAX-driven options to some admin management pages with CMS-known functions without having to open the edit screens. read full description]
As a whole, the new WordPress Admin panel is organized fairly well, however when it comes to editing posts or pages quickly without having to open each post or page in a new tab or window, it isn't a very efficient process. For those who are using WordPress as a CMS, it's important to be able to manage contents easily and quickly. That's what this plugin helps to do.
It adds some icons to the posts/pages management panel with AJAX-driven CMS-known functions like toggling post/page visibility, changing publication date and title without having to open the edit screens or reload the page, plus changing page order with drag'n'drop, inline category management and inline tag management, plus much more.
