10 New Plugins for WordPress 3.0
Meteor Slides
Meteor Slides makes it simple to manage a slide show with WordPress by adding a custom post type for slides. The slides are managed as featured images through the media library; they will automatically be cropped to the dimensions specified on the settings page. Optionally, each slide can link to any Post, Page, or external URL of your choice. Meteor Slides is easy to use, but the options should offer enough flexibility to use the slide show in many different ways.
Front-End Editor
A WordPress plugin that enables “edit in place” functionality on your website or blog. It lets you edit posts or pages directly from your website. No need to load the admin back-end just to correct a typo.
GetSocial
GetSocial allows your visitors to easily share your blog posts to their social networks via a floating box that never goes out of sight. GetSocial is compatible with the leading web browsers and allows you to add social networks of your choice to the sharing box.
Easy Post Types
WordPress 3.0 has recently introduced a new feature called “Custom Post Types”. Now you can make your WordPress 3.0 website even more awesome! Create WordPress custom post types on the fly with an easy to use interface. Then manage custom fields and categories for your post types.
Titled Comments
WordPress only allows your readers to leave comments with their personal details (e-mail, url etc.). This plugin enables each comment to have a title, so that commentators can give a subject meaning to their comments.
Contemplate
This plugin is designed to save you time by managing commonly used blocks of content (text, HTML, CSS, or JavaScript) that you want to appear across your website. Content templates can be used in posts, pages, widgets, and comments.
Author Exposed
Author Exposed is a simple WordPress plugin that allows your visitors easy and elegant way to see more details about the post author. The author details are displayed in a popup layer when someone clicks on the author name to see its details.
DynamicWP Pop-Up Menu
This Plugin will put your menu icons in a stack, placed in the bottom right corner of your page. Once the stack is clicked, a pop-up menu will appear with smooth effect.
DynamicWP Image Flipper
This plugin allows you to build an image gallery in your sidebar that can be flipped like a book or magazine. This plugin is a widget, so you can put it anywhere you like on your sidebar.
WP Google-Buzz
This plugin automatically displays the Google Buzz button for every post. Google has released new Google Buzz APIs and this plugin incorporates those changes.
I like WP Google-Buzz plugin the best, it’s neat way to add value to the blog.
Front-End Editor is my favorite and it works perfectly with Wp 3.0.1
