The description to David McNicol’s URL Cache Plugin raises more questions than it answers:
Given a URL, the url_cache() function will attempt to download the file it represents and return a URL pointing to this locally cached version.
Where did he plan to use it? Does he envision the cache as an archive, or for performance? Why hasn’t [...]
The Hanzo Archives Wordpress plugin is something I’d be very excited to use. Ironically, it’s disappeared from the web (though the blog post hasn’t):
We’ve released a Wordpress Plugin which automatically archives anything you link to in your blog posts; it also adds a ‘perma-permalink’ for the archived version adjacent to each original link.
An Amazon Web [...]
Lorelle is a big fan of Scott Reilly’s Customizable Post Listings:
Display Recent Posts, Recently Commented Posts, Recently Modified Posts, Random Posts, and other post, page, or draft listings using the post information of your choosing in an easily customizable manner. You can narrow post searches by specifying categories and/or authors, among other things.
This plugin is the next step after my proposal for a common invite API. Here’s how I described it when requesting hosting at the plugin directory:
A common framework for registering tickets that will be acted upon later. Use it to manage challenge/response interactions to confirm email addresses, phone numbers, IM screen names, Twitter accounts, etc. [...]

I actually use Event Calendar, which has been abandoned for some time. Looking at the alternatives listed in the Plugin Directory, Calendar, Events Calendar, and Gigs Calendar add full calendar management features to WordPress. While ICS Calendar, iCal Events, and Upcoming Events, simply offer the ability to display calendar data from elsewhere.
What I liked about [...]
a href=”http://wordpress.org/”>WordPress‘ Pages feature makes the popular blogging platform a sophisticated CMS. bSuite adds a few features to make it even better.
Write excerpts, tag, and categorize your pages
WordPress excerpts are an underused but powerful feature that allow you to explain to your readers why they should read the page you wrote. Tagging [...]
CAS — Central Authentication Service — has no logo, but it’s still cool. Heterogeneous environments like mine offer hundreds of different online services or applications that each need to authenticate the user. Instead of throwing our passwords around like confetti, CAS allows those applications to identify their users based on session information managed by the [...]
