Paragraph sidenotes
add a nice touch.

To create a paragraph sidenote like the one here, simply copy and paste the CSS code that Stratos generously provides.  His clear instructions make it easy, and it’s quicker than finding and installing a plugin to do the trick.  Other featured WordPress tweaks will accomplish the following:

  • Hand-coded sociable plugins
  • Create a search page
  • Add a “featured” post to your theme
  • Delete post revisions

Check out the rest of the site to find plugins created by Stratos, interviews with intriguing blog owners, geeky humor, and more.  By the way, the site is using the beautiful theme, LightSource, from ElegantThemes.
