1. Disqus is a great plug-n-chug commenting system, but it's lacking a few very useful features: Markdown support, syntax highlighting the comments, and callbacks to tell you when a comment has been added or edited. And getting the comment/reaction count for the current page or linked posts is overly complicated and/or not-well-documented. This plugin hopefully simplifies the Disqus installation process while adding several helpful features.

  2. A simple jQuery plugin to get albums and images from Picasa without the need for PHP, Ruby, or any other server side language. Makes it easy to create a simple, dynamic, free, client-side-only image gallery.
