WordPress › Advanced Custom Fields « WordPress Plugins
From the myriad of WP custom fields plugins this seemed like about the best. Nice UIs and a very handy ‘relationship’ field. Unfortunately it didn’t quite work well with WPML.
-
WPML - The WordPress Multilingual Plugin
Comprehensive plugin for translating and managing a multilingual site built on WordPress. Multi-language Posts, Pages, Custom Post Types, Themes, etc. Inevitably a bit complicated and slightly kludgy, but seems to work well.

A Better Related Posts Plugin – Nicolas Kuttler
I haven’t fully tested this with lots of real content yet but an initial view suggests this is nicely tweakable, and easy to use. And works with Custom Post Types. And (so far, I think) WPML.

WordPress › CMS Tree Page View « WordPress Plugins
Looks like it might be a good way to organise pages in WordPress. Lets you reorder Custom Post Types (but not standard Posts), and works with WPML.

Another charting library. Looks good too I think. Non-watermarked version is $100 upwards.
-
JS Charts - Free JavaScript charts
Looks like a good library for drawing charts/graphs in JavaScript. Costs $39 upwards for a non-watermarked version.

Almost funny, how the NFL doesn’t want fans to see footage that would help them understand the game better, because then the mistakes of players and coaches might be more obvious. (via Kottke)

I imagine that if you did a lot of driving you might have some attachment to particular junctions. Even without that, I like these posters of junctions on the M1.
