Limit-Post Add-On

Limit-Post is one of the better WordPress post content limiters we have come across, both in terms of usability and size.

During the WordPress 2.6 and younger...

Hello Hollywood

Similar to Hello HAL, Hello Hollywood is a simple WordPress plugin based on the now famous Hello Dolly plugin created by Matt Mullenweg.

This is, by the way, the world's first official WordPress Plugin. When enabled you will randomly see a lyric from "Hello, Dolly" in the upper right of your Administration Panels on every page but the Plugins panel."
