Extra Options is a collection of WordPress tweaks to improve your publishing experience and your site’s performance.
It strives to be simple and discreet; 
everything in it is optional, it does nothing by default, does not touch your content, and uninstalls cleanly.
Extra Options offers options for the following:
<ul>
<li>Writing</li>
<li>Administration</li>
<li>Content filters control</li>
<li>Document HEAD control</li>
<li>Search Engine Optimization (all you need and nothing you don’t)</li>
<li>Loading AJAX libraries from the Google CDN</li>
<li>Plus a couple of miscellaneous tweaks</li>
</ul>

A widget that lists your most recent posts with excerpts, optionally limited to a category. The number of posts and excerpts is configurable; for example, you could show the titles of five posts but include the excerpt for only the two most recent. Supports <a href="http://robsnotebook.com/the-excerpt-reloaded/" rel="nofollow ugc">the_excerpt Reloaded</a> and <a href="http://sparepencil.com/code/advanced-excerpt/" rel="nofollow ugc">Advanced Excerpt</a> for excerpts with HTML formatting.
New! Supports displaying post thumbnails along with excerpts. Widget options let you place the thumbnails above the title, in between the title and the excerpt, or below the excerpt.
