Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

##

Posts and pages have their own characteristics and uses, but sometimes there is a need to display important, very short, time sensitive information which don’t really fit into a post or page. WP Notes Widget fills this gap. The visual design is similar to real sticky notes which adds to the effective communication of the message.

With WP Notes Widget you can:

  • attach an image, audio, or video to a note
  • attach a link to either an uploaded file, a link from your website, or a link to another website
  • integrate with your twitter account to automatically tweet your notes
  • select the font style, font size, font color, and background color of notes
  • select which notes appear on a specific widget
  • post date notes to appear at a certain date/time
  • set notes to expire at a certain date/time (with additional, free plugin)

Enhancements

To further enhance the functionality of WP Notes Widget you can install these great plugins:

  • Post Expirator by Aaron Axelsen
  • Post Types Order by Nsp Code

You can also take advantage of some built in WordPress functionality which you may not have explored yet:

  • ‘post dating’ notes so that they only appear once a certain date and time has been reached

WP Notes Widget has also been designed to work with WPML.
