Multi Column Link List Plugin for WordPress

This plugin generates an alphabetical listing of your WordPress links in multiple columns. You can choose the number of columns to display, with an option to split up the list of links by letter. It also supports the use of a custom header to help separate the links. For example, you could have it say ‘Links: A’ and then list the links that start with ‘A’, etc. The link list can easily be added to any post or page with the trigger text, or called directly from a template file. A CSS file is also included for easy style changes. More »

One question I get asked quite often is how to change the default size of the thumbnails that WordPress creates when you upload an image. It is actually quite easy to change - it just requires modification of one WordPress file.

If you are using WordPress 2.5, there is now a built-in option to change the thumbnail size. More »

Color Select Tool

The Color Select Tool is a small utility that allows you to quickly copy the hex code of a color on your screen. I originally created this program because I was tired of having to take a screenshot and open photoshop just to capture a color, and I was not happy with similar programs. Simply run the program, move the mouse to the color you want to capture, and press the shift key. The hex color code will then be copied to your clipboard. You can also choose to have it add the # symbol in front of the code, and/or have it stay on top of other windows. More »
