The Sneak Peaks widget allows you to list some of the upcoming posts on your site to allow visitors to get a glimpse of what is coming and encourage them to return. The widget is very simple, but allows you to customize the title, number of posts shown and the display text of each sneak peek using some simple tags.

You can download it here:
Sneak Peaks Widget 1.7 (WordPress 2.1+)
Sneak Peaks Widget 1.6 (WordPress 2.0, 2.1)

Installation is very simple. Just unzip the .zip file and upload the .php file to your plugins/widgets folder. Activate it in your plugins menu and then go to your Presentation>Sidebar Widgets menu and customize to your heart’s content.

Well this plugin gets rid of all of that. It adds a simple month-by-month calendar that shows all the months you have future posts for (and the current month no matter what), it highlights the days you have posts for, and as an added bonus if you click a day the Post Timestamp boxes change to that day, month and year (although it doesn’t check the edit timestamp box to avoid accidental changes).

The plugin also adds a sidebar widget that you can use to display your posts to others.

1. Download the zip file
2. Unzip and upload future_posts.php to your wp-content/plugins/ folder.
3. The new box will automatically appear on edit/write post pages.
   If you want to change a date to one shown just click the date and then click the “Edit timestamp” box.
4. Optionally you can add it as a sidebar widget or uncomment the line “//add_action(‘activity_box_end’, ‘get_future_calendar_html’);” to have it appear on your dashboard, or use the Dashboard Editor plugin to add it as a widget.
