Not sure how I missed this one, but a great image plugin updated to work with 2.0. Allows for clickable thumbnails in posts, resizing of images, and many other options with images. Much more comprehensive than the built in image mechanism. Note, the WYSIWYG editor must be disabled for this plugin to work in 2.0.
We missed the first two, but Part 3 is out, with links to the previous 2. If you are not familiar with K2, it’s the experimental (well, now in beta) theme for WP from Michael Hielemannwhich takes full advantage of the support built into WP 2.0 for an options page for the theme. This article discusses modifying the theme, as it has some diffferent approaches than the original Kubrick theme from the same author. Even if you are not using K2, there is some interesting ideas that could easily be added to any theme, with a little modification.
An update to a popular plugin that allows for the listing of Amazon whishlist items directly on your page. New version allows for 3 different sized images.
If you are looking for an easy way of checking your Google Analytics (assuming you got in before they closed registration), or your Feedburner stats, this might be for you. Easily integrates into your dashboard, rather than going to numerous sites to check stats.
Has updated their calendar plugin, which allows for the addition of an event via the admin interface, and then allow your visitors to see the event on the calendar. Also option to alter colors via admin interface allows for easy integration into existing design.
As more and more designs incorporate AJAX techniques, here’s a plugin that allows for easy incorporation of the Fade Anything Technique. Some examples reside in the javascript file included in the dowload, however, nothing specific as far as elements. Still a great start, and with some creativity, can bring some uniqueness to any site.
From the creators of Connections, among other themes, comes a re-release of a previously designed theme, Fleur De Lys. A two-column, left handed sidebar design, the theme uses minimal graphics, and subtle colors. Fully optimized to work with 2.0.
Ever wanted to give back to the application that makes your blogging life easier? Got coding skills? Just looking for a way to volunteer? Matt put the call out on this week via the development blog (in case you missed it in your dashboard), looking for all types of help in furthering WordPress. Broken down by areas of interest, head over to the codex and find where you can contribute.
Now out of beta, with many enhancements, as well as only be 2.0 compatible. Removal of tables, changes in the Flickr support, an options page to configure the main page, and many more features fixed/added.
For those not familiar with Squible, it’s a theme along the lines of K2, with many built in functions. A different approach in design as well, as it eschews the standard sidebar feature, rather has a more modular design. All of which combine to bring a different approach to using WordPress, and blogging in general.
The prolific theme developer V4NY has released theme 100. A two-column, left-hand sidebar design. A dark grey and almost pink color combination works surprisingly well together, especially for such a dark theme, of which I’m rarely a fan of. As usual with their designs, XHTML and CSS valid, with multi-language support.
