CSS Image Replacement, what’s up Matt?
So I’m a big fan of CSS image replacement, for several reasons, most importantly because it allows for a semantically correct page while having some text replaced with images, but also because I love sprites and I love using them well. I’ve also always been in favor of the use of CSS Image Replacement for [...]
Meet Yoast!

User stylesheets to show nofollows
Update: now works with links with rel=”external nofollow” etc too! I’ve recently switched back to Safari as my main browser because good ol’Firefox kept crashing on me, and I must say that it’s been a smooth experience so far. Safari is a great browser, of course, and 3.1 is very fast as well. One [...]
Added a print CSS style sheet
Today, I checked an item off on my todo list that had been on there way too long: I created a print style sheet for this site. Every time I write an article that is longer than 5 paragraphs, I get emails from readers asking for a better print style sheet. Until just a few [...]

WordPress editor style

A WordPress editor style makes the TinyMCE editor used in visual editing mode look like your theme, using [...]
Promotion Slider
This plugin has some issues that need fixing but I like the overall architecture, if the issues get fixed it might become my slider plugin of choice.
Optional Styles
A WordPress plugin or theme should never have to output inline styles, especially not in the frontend. Inline styles will prevent some doctypes from validating and they are actually a factor to slow down your page loads. If your plugin outputs a piece of code that needs styling, add an ID to the output and [...]
FAQ Manager
I could see myself use this plugin to manage my plugin FAQs, it’s a nice use of custom post types, but not until some of the issues have been fixed.
