Plugins I've Developed
BetterWPMail (current version: 0.4)
I was never fully satisfied with the way WordPress emails (notification of new comment or moderation required) looked, so I wrote my own.
BetterWPReadMore (current version: 0.2)
WordPress formats the "read more" links horribly (you can read more here). So, I wrote this semi-hacky little plugin to give you four customization options: add a title, append to the end of the paragraph, remove the #more-xxx link, and remove the <a id=""> link.
