Simple Blog Stats

Displays a wealth of useful statistics about your site. Display total number of posts, pages, categories, tags, and much more.

Whiler

It can be used to avoid browsers cache by inserting a random number. 
For instance, http://my_url?[random-number]” could generate http://my_url?134548.
[random-number from=”2″ to=”72″ format=”%b”]%d minutes[/random-number]
output: an integer value between 2 & 72 followed by the word ‘minutes’
This plugin is a sample on how to create a plugin which: 
* supports internationalization, 
* provides an option screen, 
* saves some options, 
* use images, 
* replaces a tag.
By the way, it generates randomized numbers ;o)
If you need more functionalities, feel free to ask (email/blog)…
A post with a French tutorial is available <a href="http://blogs.wittwer.fr/whiler/2009/11/23/exemple-complet-extension-wordpress/" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.
<h3>Supported languages</h3>
<ul>
<li>English</li>
<li>French</li>
<li>Russian (Thanks to <a href="http://www.shinephp.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Vladimir / ShinePHP.com</a>)</li>
</ul>

Random Number Generator

Simply replace the tag [random-number] by a random number.
