WP plugin: Get Author Profile
Get Author Profile is a pretty basic WordPress plugin that lets you manually access an author's (i.e. user's) profile. The main purpose is to let you provide author information outside The Loop, such as for a sidebar intro of the blog owner or to list contributors to your blog. (more...)

WP plugin: Get-a-Post
Get-a-Post is a WordPress plugin that allows you specify a post or Page (but just one) to be displayed. This can, for example, let you provide an informational note on your sidebar or front page, or a "static" article at the top of a category page or in a custom template, all the while using standard WordPress template tags to decide how it's displayed.

So if you *accidentally* write it as Wordpress, or wordpress, or even WoRdPrEsS, it sets things right. Yes, not an extremely "helpful" plugin---at least not in any real sense of that word. (more...)
WP plugin: Next-Previous Post IMG
I've put together some WordPress plugins over the past few months, but haven't posted anything on them (most were just described and linked on the WordPress wiki or my personal projects page). But the silence has ended. The one I'm on about here is a work in progress: Next-Previous Post IM(a)G(e), a small (ok, not all that small) redo of the WordPress next and previous post template tags, to allow images as links.
