WordPress recent plugin collection
In resources — My collection of WordPress plugins is expanding with a few 'recent…' plugins:
- Recent comments displays the latest comments on a WordPress blog, grouped by post
- Recent posts and Recent news display the latest from your 'blog' and 'news' categories
- Recent updates displays a list of recently updated pages on your WordPress blog
I've several other plugins in the pipe:
- Smart Links, which I am currently beta testing on this web site, and which I think is set to create a huge increase in usability and maintainability for WordPress blogs
- Fancy Excerpt is a fancy excerpt generator for WordPress blogs, that I think is set to enjoy a huge success
- Markdown fix, will hopefully solve any Markdown-related bugs that will remain once I'm done with the two previous
Update:
- The recent plugins are obsolete, and have been replaced by the Fuzzy Widgets plugin
- Markdown Fix has been dropped.




Comments on WordPress recent plugin collection
If I may offer a suggestion, Get Custom Field Values at http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/30/plugin-get-custom/ is a great plug-in to allow you easy access to the custom fields.
I use it to build a simple database with Pages. Very nice and easy to use.
