Shire Reckoning

Allyn wrote a plugin called Shire Reckoning a while back to display the current date in the Shire Calendar, a date system of Tolkien’s invention. Now it’s even easier to use thanks to Allyn’s calendar widget.

Folding Pages

Chris has put together a Folding Pages widget that will be very useful for WordPress blogs with page hierarchies. Rather than showing all pages, it shows only the top level and any subpages of the current page.

Del.icio.us Tagometer

Shonfonfe

I designed a new WordPress Theme, which is widget compatible. The Theme’s page is here: http://visnum.com/shonfonfe/ You can see it in action here: http://jefe.hayatkisa.com/

It is clean and minimal. Author comments are in a different color than the reader comments. By the general look and feel, I was inspired by the famous National Geographic magazine.

Run For Cover

Jeroen sent in an album cover widget that uses last.fm and Amazon to display the covers of albums you have listened to recently.

Enviro-Quotes

From DragonFlyEye.Net Blog on their new recycled Enviro-Quotes Widget:

Enviro-Quotes is really just a minor alteration of the original Joe’s Quotes Widget along with some new icons and a new quotes list, but for those of you inspired by An Inconvenient Truth or who are of environmentalist mind-set, this may be of use.

Twitter Widget

From Velvet:

I created the Twitter sidebar widget for WordPress because I wanted something more customisable than the badges issued by Twitter. If you know your way around CSS you can style it yourself, otherwise it will keep the default styling of lists in your sidebar.

Soleil Theme for WordPress

From Avi Alkalay, here’s the Soleil Theme for WordPress.

Althought it looks really good, Soleil is way more than eye candy. It is unique due to this main features:

1. Localized on demand
   The blog generic control strings will appear in visitor’s language that he set on his browser. Also, all blog-specific strings as category names, post titles and personal links may have hooks for personal localizations.
2. Widgetized sidebar
   Soleil provides all its sidebar content as widgets. If you use the WordPress Widget Plugin, you’ll be able to visually rearrange the sidebar and also visually use more widgets from a vast network of developers.

The list goes on and on but I found #1 to be most interesting. To try it out, I set my Firefox preferred language to Portuguese and refreshed the page. It works brilliantly.
