It is the law of the market, if people are interested in your work, no matter the reason, you can make a lot of money. If people are not interested in what you do, no matter how well you do it.
Designers, software developers and other people who can do valuable work quickly and enjoying it seem to face a moral problem with charging good money for it, and when they not, they have a bad time explaining the price to clients that ask why would you charge so much for something that you will do in little time and enjoying it.
Why is the client wrong on these assumptions?

Some time ago I was looking for a plugin that showed both favicon and name on a WordPress blogroll. As I couldn’t find it, I had to made my own, but the code wasn’t general enough to distribute it.
Recently I have created a powerful blogroll, in the form of a page template, capable to display the name, favicon, description, notes and even the RSS link of blogs in your blogroll, because blogrolls with just a list of links are not useful anymore.
Now I have packaged it as a plugin for your delight: The ZoC Powerblogroll.
Download it right away, or go to the plugin page.

I have just published Zo’C Subcats, a wordpress plugin that enables you to display either a list or a drop down menu with the subcategories of a category of your choice. The plugin gracefully degrades in absence of Javascript.
You can read further instructions and download it on the plugin page or you can download it immediately here.
The plugin started humbly to address a need of my fellow blogger Desty, and was published thanks to the incentive of Michael and Jen.
Any feedback is welcome 
Enjoy!

Among the almost infinite list of html entities, the non-breaking space ( ) is one of the most popular but very little understood.
The correct place for a is, for instance, in “Mr. Smith”. The will avoid a line break between Mr. and Smith, while leaving a space between them.
The non-breaking space earned its fame because in the dark days of the table layouts people needed to put content on certain elements without visual rendering.
As the normal space is discarded by the browser in most situations an entity like the non-braking space, which is always considered and yet has no shape was very welcome to leave a gutter.
Yet, the should not be used to leave gutters. While it is quick and easy to put them, is really a nightmare to upgrade, because markup and presentation are all mixed. The role of the non-breaking space is actually to bind things together and not so separate them.
