Feed(Aggre)gator takes a list of RSS feeds and creates a single list of RSS items from those feeds to be displayed as a widget. You can select how many items you want to display and whether you want to show the entries chronologically or you want to show the latest entries from each feed listed.
You can also opt to display the date associated with the RSS item as well as the author of the item.

Extended Options manages certain meta data and content add-ins from within the WordPress dashboard. This plugin adds the capacity for meta data and content added to the footer and <code>head</code> areas to be kept consistent regardless of a theme change or upgrade.
Extended Options is for WordPress 2.6.x and, more specifically, manages following meta links and tweaks:
<ul>
<li>Archive meta links</li>
<li>Relationship meta links</li>
<li>Favicon meta links (blog and dashboard)</li>
<li>OpenID meta links</li>
<li>MicroID meta links</li>
<li>Geo tag meta links</li>
<li>Robots meta links</li>
<li>Enabling/disabling author archives</li>
<li>Enabling/disabling 404 headers</li>
<li>Enforcing <code>www.</code> preference</li>
<li>Protocol discovery meta links (Atom, RSD, WLW)</li>
<li>Enabling/disabled generator meta link</li>
<li>General meta add-in content</li>
<li>General comment form add-in content</li>
<li>General footer add-in content</li>
</ul>
While this collection of meta data and tweaks appear random, these are specific modifications I grew tired of making whenever I activated a different theme or upgraded an old one. I needed a plugin to manage these needs that didn’t overlap significantly with other plugins I used.
Special thanks to some awesome code integrated (and possibly modified) with Extended Options.
