UTW Related Posts
July 19, 2006This UTW Related Posts widget requires the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin. When you view a post, this widget will show links to other relevant posts in the sidebar.
UTW and AdSense
June 27, 2006Aaron sent in two widgets that are remarkably similar to some earlier widgets: a widget for Ultimate Tag Warrior and a widget for AdSense. These widgets look great to me.
I wonder how many of these we’ll have in a few more months. The expanding variety of controls and results is nice; there doesn’t have to be a difinitive widget for each purpose. It makes me glad to see more choices and I have a feeling this is an indication that the API is highly learnable.
Still, widget developers, save yourself time when you can. There are a lot of widgets already and most of them are open-source. Word to the wise: search.
Tag Cloud
June 13, 2006Sidebar envy? Chip's is longer than most. He writes:
On the advice of Alec Saunders, I enabled tagging in my blog using the Jerome’s Keywords plugin for WordPress 2.0. Then I went through my posts and got all Chris Pirillo on the tags.
Tag cloud sidebar widget for WordPress, because my sidebar wasn’t long enough
Now go get all Chris Pirillo on your sidebar.
(Chris, your blog should be adorned with this widget. Hint.)
Folding Categories
June 12, 2006You can use this Folding Categories Widget to collapse your ever-growing category list, making room in your sidebar for even more widgety goodness.
Tag Cloud
May 30, 2006Blog not Web 2.0ish enough? Chris has a Tag Cloud widget (UTW required) that will make your sidebar do the talking.
Pastels not included. 
Associative Dictionary
May 1, 2006What a wonderful toy! This widget sets up a database table that holds user-contributed definitions for words. The widget displays a word and its definition, hyperlinking each word in the definition to that word’s own definition. If a word is undefined, it instead links to a form that allows the user to define the word. I can see this being a ton of fun.
The demo is Dutch. The first person to set this up for English or any other language should leave a link here in the comments!
King Categories
April 15, 2006When you write a plugin or a widget, you have to decide what to put in and what to leave out. From looking at the screenshots, the King Categories Widget has a case of Option Fever. Nothing was left out. You can do it all with this widget.
If it were trimmed down to the essentials I'd call it great and maybe drop it into the Widgets plugin. As it is, this widget's greatest appeal is to elite category geeks. To you, enjoy!
Categories
April 12, 2006Alan Morgan dug out the original Categories Widget code and has started to add options to it. Follow the development of this widget. We might have to roll it into the Widgets plugin!
Category Cloud
April 5, 2006Category Cloud by Lee Kelleher a configurable range of font sizes to show the number of posts in a category while keeping them in alphabetical order. Based on code from Matt Kingston's Weighted Categories.
