Faster Image Insert aims to do one thing right:
Moves built-in Media Manager down in a meta-box, right next to main editing panel, so you have full control of the manager: opens it, makes it collapse or hidden from the interface completely.
Best of all, is now you can insert image(s) much faster, and precisely where you want them to be.
<ul>
<li>No thickbox, using metabox with zero interface blocking, quite similar to the uploader in WordPress 1.5</li>
<li>No hacking, default upload interface is not affected, only enhanced.</li>
<li>Insert multiple images in gallery & library mode, without using shortcode; can also insert images in reversed order, and even control spacing between images.</li>
<li>Mass info editing, change title/captions in one-shot.</li>
<li>Smart switches: set default uploader, disable captions.</li>
</ul>
This plugin is designed for:
<ul>
<li>Screenshot lover – movie, game or anime review etc.</li>
<li>Howto guru – cooking guide, hardware DIY guide etc.</li>
<li>Photo logger – author can comment below each photo.</li>
<li>Blogger that has been shouting “run, thickbox, RUN!” to the loading screens.</li>
</ul>

Sniplets is a generic text insertion plugin with support for an extensible processing framework. At it’s simplest this means you can dynamically replace text in your posts with text that may be defined elsewhere, or created by some other module. For example, you can use Sniplets to perform syntax highlighting of files, execute custom PHP code, insert data from a database, and perform all manner of other useful tasks within a standard interface.
<ul>
<li>Replace tags in a post with pre-defined text</li>
<li>Apply processing functions to the pre-defined text to perform additional functionality</li>
<li>Automatic insertion – data can be made to automatically appear in various places (header, footer, before post, after post, more tag, initialization)</li>
<li>Custom processors can be written by the user</li>
<li>Fully localized</li>
</ul>
Sniplets is available in:
<ul>
<li>English</li>
<li>Belorussian thanks to Marcis Gasuns</li>
</ul>
