Placing a TOC In The Sidebar Revisited – First Aid For Naughty Themes
Some time ago, I wrote a tip about placing a TOC in the side bar. As it now turns out, this tip does not work on all themes. Here’s why, and what you can do about it.
Sliding Notes 1.5.0 “Accordion Virtuoso”
A brand new release of Sliding Notes is out. Code name: “Accordion Virtuoso”.
Main novelty: The addition of an awesome feature which enables emulation of accordion-style behavior like this one over here.
Go get it at wordpress.org, it sure is worth upgrading. 
Widget Voodoo 1.0.6
A quick note to Hackadelic Widget Voodoo users:
Here is a maintenance release that fixes an issue related to some rare widgets with uncommon HTML layout, where titles were collapsed as well. Get it as usual at wordpress.org.
Spam Blocking Technologies – A Quick Glance
In the last couple of months, the amount of spam I’ve been receiving increased to an extent that it became impossible to manually check the spam queue. A logical step was to install a spam blocker that would block spam from being submitted in the first place.

TOC Boxes 1.5.2 Release (Artem’s Rib)
Hi everybody! I haven’t posted anything for a while now (been busy traveling and working), but I’m back with a new version of TOC boxes.
Widget Voodoo 1.0.5 With WPMU Compatibility
Originally, Widget Voodoo wasn’t implemented with WordPress MU in mind. In response to an issue report in the forums, I’ve overhauled the way settings have been stored (the main cause of the issue on WPMU).
As a result, settings handling is more robust and more secure now. And, Widget Voodoo now works on WP and WPMU equally.
Grab the new version at wordpress.org, and have fun with it.
Table Of Contents In The Sidebar
Hackadelic TOC Boxes work in the sidebar as well. Out of the box. You can see a live demo on my blog by going to a post’s single view: The TOC box appears at the top of the left sidebar.1 This post here is a good example.
How I did it? Read more >>
- At least it’s at the top at time of this writing. I may move it in the future to another place, or remove it all together. [↩]
Widget Voodoo Release 1.0.4 Supports Variable Title Styling
Widget Voodoo morphs sidebar widgets into stylishly collapsible objects. The new release goes one step further in “stylishness” and adds support to variable styling of widget titles depending on the collapsed/expanded state of the widget.
A live example is right here on my blog – look for the “Archives” widget in my left sidebar.
Go ahead, get the newest version at wordpress.org. Then grab the CSS used to style it at the plugin homepage.
Have fun! And a happy Easter to everybody!

Here’s how I’d do it.
