I can’t stress enough how design should come first in the development of a website. In a world made of symbols rather than words (I heard that today on the radio!), it’s an evidence that suggesting ideas by design goes beyond words.
Our new slogan (now: ‘Designing templates for websites’) should reflect that idea. Here are some suggestions:

You can now edit custom fields (content you use the most) from within the administration, such as a headline, proverb or phone number.
You retrieve a field content in your PHP template like this:
global $stickyfield;
echo $stickyfield->field['name-of-your-field'];
With this plugin, you don’t need to modify your templates each time you want to update some hard-coded text.

Would you like to display a Google map like this one within your posts or pages?
It’s really easy with this plugin. Activate G-map, enter your Google Maps API key (get it from there: http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html), add a new address. The Google magic should return the latitude and longitude of your spot: copy / paste and save.
Call your map with this code:
[MAP: %your map name%]
Et voilà!
Plugin available for free (GPL license) from this link:
