The Weblog Tools Collection blog written by Jim Stitzel brings interesting themes and plugins to the attention of WordPress bloggers through the WordPress Dashboard. A plugin that he blogged about recently was the Your YouTube Favorites by Ozh. It provides functions and a widget for displaying your favorite YouTube videos on your sidebar.

I’ve been accumulating files that I’ve been making available for download from my site. Initially I simply created a page and added a link each time I added a file, but this became rather cumbersome very quickly. Add to that it was difficult to add a reference to the download in all the places I [...]
I’m a big fan of customization, particularly through the admin UI. One reason is I host multiple sites from the same set of files using the multi-blogging solution and each site may want to have different features. The 1 Blog Theme by Javier García is one of the most customizable themes I’ve run into so [...]
I’m in the process of working on improved widgets for the sidebar. The main theme I’ve been working on for a while now (FallSeason by Sadish Bala) has a nice sidebar section for feeds that displays an RSS icon next to the link for the two main feeds, and the Meta widget doesn’t display these. [...]
I solved the problem with using the WP-Email plugin in the FallSeason theme. The problem was that when checking to see if there are any posts, several templates (index.php, page.php, and single.php) were checking this way:
if ($posts)
The correct way to check for posts is to do this instead:
if (have_posts())
Changing that one line in those templates [...]
Based on the experimentation of plugins I’ve been doing, I’ve started to integrate the usage of some of them into the Scattered 1.5 theme.
Style Changes
Removed negative indenting of unordered lists.
Changed the color of visited links so they show up.
Changed unordered list indenting so the list entry marker is always displayed.
Plugin Support
Added support for the WP-PostViews [...]
I’ve been working on another of Sadish Bala’s themes (SpotLight) for one of my sites and I’m pulling some of the work I’ve been doing there into FallSeason. This is the first update on top of v1.2, so this is v1.2.drp.1.
Integrated Sadish’s changes for WordPress 2.3 compatibility.
Moved the intro text to the database and added [...]
How do you get your posts to be seen? WordPress has a feature which automatically notifies sites when you publish a new post. You can specify sites by going to the Options -> Writing admin page, which by default lists http://rpc.pingomatic.com/.
I found an article written by someone who did a little bit of research: WordPress [...]
I know that Stephen Rider is coming out with an update soon, but I needed another feature that I felt was useful enough to release publicly. I was using the Exec-PHP plugin to embed a call to the print_virtual_sites_list() function in a post on my root site (http://DPotter.net/), like this:
<ul><?php print_virtual_sites_list(); ?></ul>
This worked great, displaying [...]
I’ve noticed on some blogs that when the author of the post comments on the post (e.g. in reply to another comment) that those comments stand out from the rest of the comments. I really like this feature and would like to have this on all my themes. What would be ideal is if I [...]
