www.1stwebdesigner.comNice list of WordPress hacks! I really like the filter function which makes it possible to replace the “read more” link at the end from the excerpt. There is also an option that makes it possible to send mail messages in HTML format. I suggest to use some plugin instead. Using rich mail templates can help your blog’s branding a lot.

net.tutsplus.comGreat and complete tutorial on how to create a custom post types in WordPress.

tareq.wedevs.comIt’s a great example on how pagination and the presentation of posts work in a WordPress posting list.

I don’t think it’s very interesting to learn how-to move the widget and it’s more interesting to know how-to create a widget. You can write widgets like plugins, except that you need to extend the widget class to get them into the widget list: class My_Widget extends WP_Widget { function My_Widget() { // widget actual processes } }
