The real beauty of WordPress is the immense community of developers behind it. Several plugins are created and added to the official plugin directory every single day, which now catalogs nearly 10,500 in all! Here is a list of some of the best new ones.
Sharebar adds a dynamic and fully customizable vertical box to the left of a blog post that contains links/buttons to popular social networking sites. For wide blogs, a vertical bar with popular sharing icons appears on the left of your post. If the page is resized, the vertical bar disappears and a horizontal sharebar appears under the post title.
The jCollapisble plugin takes any nested list (OL or UL that have children) and coverts it into collapsible threads. This is especially useful to create simple threaded comments on a blog or nested posts in a forum without having to modify the backend code.
This effect is actually from Techi.com, a new blog launched by the guys at WebDesignerDepot, where they use it to display their popular tags in the sidebar. I wanted to see how easy (or hard) it was to recreate using JQuery and CSS, and it turns out that it’s pretty simple to do. I’ve packed it into a neat little plugin so you hopefully you can make some use of it!
Often when I’m designing layouts, I know I want to create x number of columns that are spaced y pixels apart. Usually I do the math in my head or if I’m feeling super lazy, I pull out my calculator. While playing with grid overlays earlier today, I decided to make a plugin that automatically calculates column width and row height based on the number of rows or columns present and overlays an appropriately sized grid.
Firefox is a free, open-source web browser that is easily extensible with add-ons. With over 12,000 of them, however, discovering new add-ons can be a chore. We’ve compiled a list of more than 25 of the most useful Firefox add-ons for web designers and developers.
