Simple tool to enhance the basic widgets
by JohnRoyce·8 years ago
Ran across this plugin a few years ago (!) when trying to improve my websites, and it was a great instant solution to add some functionality without a big learning curve. It’s basically self-explanatory, just install it and get going. Love software like this, thanks to the author.
