Looking for a photo album? Here’s an option.
This plugin is designed to easily manage and display your photo albums and slideshows within your WordPress site. This plugin is compatible with WP Photo ALbum version 1.5.1 so you can upgrade your existing photo album without re-creation of albums and without re-uploading your photos.

No Comments »This could be interesting. It feels a little clunky, but I think the over all use would be way cool.
One of my favorite plugins has always been Widget Logic, which allows you to display/hide widgets based on context. The biggest limitation of that plugin to me is that I had to go to my Widgets screen in my WordPress admin every time I wanted to add a new widget for a single post or page.
I think 4 & 5 are some really good points:
4. Don’t use custom fields unnecessarily – so many themes have relied on this to put more of the pressure on the author. I think theme authors should be looking at ways to improve and simplify the workflow when possible.
5. Custom write fields! – yes, yes and yes. I think 2010 will see many plugins and themes take advantage of custom write fields and templates.

I was so excited to see the “new” image support in WordPress 2.9:
You may have heard a bit of news about a new thumbnail feature for themes coming to WordPress 2.9. Yes, you’ll be able to easily upload a post thumbnail. However, it’s not just thumbnails. The image will have various sizes. So, I’m going to refer to this feature as the post image feature.
We’ve been doing half of this for a while now leveraging the timthumb.php script. But this adds SO much more.
If the template allows for it – you can simply call the “right” sized image by calling the size you want.
Or, maybe you have a section on a special template that calls for medium-sized images:
<?php the_post_image( 'medium' ); ?>Or, a huge sliding feature area on your front page and need the full-sized image:
<?php the_post_image( 'full' ); ?>
So – we’ll have to go in an gut a bunch of timthumb code, also train the content team to standardize the images, but I think it will be worth it.

This is a great little ditty for standardizing the display of photos.

When it comes to my old wordpress theme anyway! I was getting antsy on changing themes about 2 months ago and thought I’d better wait until the new year…then jump off.
I snagged this one(ShinRa of the Sun 1.3 by ShinRa), I’m sure you’ve seen it around – but I wanted something with 3 columns and likes the color. I really wanted the extra real estate to work with some plugins. So we’ll see what I can find there.
I liked the simiplicty of the old theme (Blueprint Theme), but the column was a bit narrow and so I ended up with ShiaRa.
I really like the All In One Video plugin I had before, and I think it may look better int he new theme. This is a cool plugin which allows you to searcha nd place video in your blog, to record video and put it in your blog and allow visitors to leave video comments too. Check it out, very cool.
Well, I’d better check out the theme – I need to copy over the Facebook Connect code.

I love WordPress – I’m going to dedicate Wednesday to a post about it. Hopefully I can maintain the concept. Here we go.
Wordpress Wednesday #1
20+ Great WordPress 2.7 Compatible Plugins
I’ll put 2 of the 20 I love:
- cforms II – An easy tool for creating submission forms on your site that can be inserted into posts and pages alike by just inserting a line of code.
- Google Analyticator – Google Analyticator takes all the work out of adding Google Analytics to your site. Install the plugin, enter your tracking code in the settings, and this handy plugin will place the code where it needs to be no matter which theme you switch to.
OK – kind of lame for a first Wordpress Wednesday, but let me know if there are things you are sturggling with and we’ll see if it is something I can help with.
