Multicons
Multicons is a multi-favicon code generator which automatically inserts the necessary meta tags for both favicons (site-wide and/or admin) and Apple Touch / iPhone icons. Not sure what a favicon is? "A favicon (short for favorites icon), also known as a shortcut icon, website icon, URL icon, or bookmark icon is a 16×16 or 32×32 pixel square icon associated with a particular website or webpage.

IE6 Upgrade Option
IE6 Upgrade Option utilizes the 25K script created by Free the Foxes: http://www.freethefoxes.com/ as a WordPress plugin. Originally this plugin utilized a smaller 7K script but it's limits had been met in terms of language support, ease-of-use and options for using the warning messages on browsers other than IE6 (refer to the ie6-upgrade-option.php file for instructions on multiple browser usage). The warning message is displayed using a Lightbox effect that hovers over the page content.

PictureBook
While doing our usual run of site updates and code adjustments, we ran into a small issue: how to display WordPress bookmarks with both text and images. Utilizing the 'Links' tab ( WordPress 2.7 + up ), it is possible to display them as either a list of text links or a list of image links but not both at the same time.

BookMaster
BookMaster is our answer to what we feel is an odd issue with the WordPress wp_list_bookmarks tag. For those that have exercised the use of wp_list_bookmarks, you are well aware that it is not possible to use the bookmark category title alone without calling on the bookmarks themselves.

The concept is to allow for the use of the bookmark category title anywhere within a page or post a template without being forced to list any of the bookmarks themselves....
