Trev’s Travels
Trevor has released what looks like an excellent learning tool for WP users who want to venture into learning more about plugin development. Basically he’s released everything you need to create your plugin, simply without the specific function.

I haven’t tested it yet, but I did look at the file, and it’s very well commented. Options for widgets, including something like into a post/page and a normal plugin function call are included, as well as an options page for your plugin if you need it.

I’m actually surprised I haven’t seen anything like this before, though there are several tutorials floating around.

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.
