Volcano Widget 1


Just in time for the recovery of the end of the world now you can monitor all those active volcanos except it does not seem to work properly in 3.5 and has an error when starting and trying to change settings but still look cool in front end.

WoW Armory Character 0.9.6

 

This is just in time for my annual pilgrimage into World of Warcraft how I spend my christmas time off..
It displays your wow character info for the world to see and you would think that after 5 years of playing I would have at least on max level character but alas not yet.. Look for my info to appear for a brief couple days between christmas and new years

Upload File Type Settings Plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/upload-file-type-settings-plugin/

Requires: 3.0.0 or higher
Compatible up to: 3.4.2
Last Updated: 2012-12-7
Downloads: 97

This plugin allows admins to specify additional file types that are allowed for uploading to the blog. By default, WordPress only allows a very limited set of file types to be uploaded. This set is defined by a so called “white list”. What's not on the white list can't be uploaded.

This plugin allows you to extend this white list through a settings page.
Additionally it comes with a wide range of file types that are enabled automatically, like audio files (ac3, mp4, …) and video files (avi, mkv, …).

Sweet Custom Dashboard

Requires: 3.0 or higher
Compatible up to: 3.5
Last Updated: 2012-12-6
Downloads: 99

Too often customizing the WordPress dashboard is adding or removing metaboxes. With this plugin you can create your own WordPress dashboard containing any HTML or PHP elements you want. You're not limited anymore!
