To do list :

You can send me mail or contact me via the feedback form or vote in the poll, to influence the order in which I implement these...

• A snippet to use Google Maps, which generates a map showing a place which you visited, or even a series of connected points showing a journey (this one is "90% complete").
• QuickLinks to last X entries was requested here.
• Show next/previous X entries, regardless of date (not just in the current month)- this one was requested on the forum.
• I would like to extend Rotator. Currently, it generates a random picture from a user defined directory. I would like these to be thumbnails, perhaps in the top corner of the frontpage, which, when clicked, popup a larger version of the picture (I might also allow it to pull in images from other sites (see my [[nasa]] snippet for an example).
• Retroactive Taggeratti. An administration page which allows you to define which terms will be Tageratti tags. Useful if you already have a few hundred posts and don't want to edit them all manually, or just change your mind about what tags you want to track.
• A snippet to make posts [[sticky]] ? Might be surprisingly difficult, if at all possible (sticky (always on top) posts can be achieved by giving them a date in the far future)
• Perhaps a snippet to link to Amazon.com listings?
• A few other calendar formats? Islamic calendar, Mayan calendar, etc
• Sun rise/set, weather forecast, time - both at your own site and those of your visitors (calculated from their IP address).
• I am also having a daydream about the reader being able to choose for himself how to present the information (the infamous [[mega]] snippet).. Maybe a series of drop down lists …

  - one for blog: choose "all", or select one or more blogs.
  - one for category: choose "all", or select one or more categories.
  - one for date: choose all, or select a month.
  - one for sorting: by date or alphabetically, sort up or down (and/or sort alphabetically by category/title?)
  - possibly search string too?
  - (this is beginning to look like an SQL query)

• I mofied some code which I found so that is shows the names of the categories in my blog with the names in different sizes, according to how many posts are in each category, but now I don't know how to make good use of this. Any ideas? (hover your cursor over a caegory name to see how many entries it has. Clicking on it should probably show all posts for that category)

• I coded a snippet to show the title of the most recent post in each category as a link to that post, but am unsure how to develop it further. Also, I am unsure how to handle it if the same post is the most recent in two categories. Should I try to get fancy and show the next post in one of them (which might also appear in two categories, etc)

• As a part of a statistics package which I am toying with, I wrote some code to show the most commonly used words in my blog (it also allows me to define a list of words which it should ignore). The output is reasonably interesting, but I am not sure how to use it (perhaps clicking on a word could search for all entries which use that word?).

What's the point of this? A snippet which outputs a wikipdeia search box:






or links to a wikipedia article (marginally more useful), just add [[wikipedia:1:en:Monty Python]] to your template to produce:
