The new WordPress Plugin Expose It by Adrian Apan is a cool plugin that simply adds expose effect around any div with class="expose", with a little help from the Expose jQuery.
Here’s a example. Of course you can put images, video etc. inside the div too.
This is it, the exposed text. Now, click!
It’s very easy to setup. Just download the plugin, install and activate it. Then you’re free to expose! Do as I did:
<div class="expose">"This is the text, with expose effect. Just click it.</div>

A tab that shows all links on the blog
It’s so annoying when a link in a post leads to a 404 page – and especially when you cannot find the real link! If you want to keep your blog readers from this, there’s a smart plugin that detects every broken link on your entire blog.
Broken Link Checker can even notify you about broken link images. The plugin notifies you with a widget/box on your Dashboard, with a link to a page where you can edit, remove or show information about the links, without editing the full post. You can also ignore the broken links.
This plugin is great, I’ve been using it a long time and I’m really happy with it.
Download the plugin now!

The plugin I recently wrote about, WordPress.org One-Click Install, has just updated to version 1.2.1, and there’s a serious bug in the new version.
The error is a syntax error in line 235. I noticed this when I updated the plugin. First, every single URL on WordPresser returned a blank page! Then I deleted the plugin from the plugins directory via FTP. If you have the same problem, delete the plugin. I’ve send an email to the author, and I’m waiting for a response.
I hope he solves this soon, ’cause I loved the plugin! ;-)
Update: The 1.2.2 is released, and the “bug” is fixed in the new version.

You can’t insert PHP code in posts or pages in WordPress from the start. Say you want a page listing all your categories or tags. This isn’t possible by standard. To do this, you will (of course) need a plugin.
The plugin’s name is Exec-PHP, and it allows you to use PHP in posts and pages, easily by writing the code in HTML editor. Notice that you can’t switch to the visual editor when editing posts with PHP code, otherwise the code will disappear.
With Exec-PHP you can also execute PHP code in the sidebar widgets. This is great, ’cause you can do more with PHP, than with the Blogroll widget. You can for example list only one link category etc.
I really recommend the WordPress Codex. You can find many tags and codes at the Template Tags part. The tags are used to call WordPress functions.
Download the plugin here, and as usual I would appreciate if you post a comment if you’ve tested it and liked it! ;-)
