My plugin is called Sexy Add Templates and it allows you to easily and quickly add new custom page templates directly from your admin menu.

And it’s available right here:

I am off for the weekend but I will definitely follow your advice on Monday.

Just finished writing a really cool plugin so I’m glad to find new ways to get it out there.

Thanks!

And your plugin is pretty good. So, get the word out. Tell the world. :-)

I do like it when plugin authors do use their plugin on their own blogs. Such as the developer over at lesterchan.net. He definitely showcases his plugins.

Use the plugin on your own blog! Show it in action.

It’s all very well talking about it, but you have to put your money where your mouth is :)

Thanks for the info.

I don’t know about self-publicizing plugins… That’s like how people used to believe in: ‘Build it and they will come’.

You always need to publicize anything you put on the web. Of course, you can wait forever and hope search engines to find it…

I agree there are some great plugins our there that no one knows about. I don’t know if I’ll ever create on (probably not) but this is still really useful.

I am always surprised when I come across some super useful plugin that no one really knows about… I should start to mention more of them on my blog to help get the word out.

Book marking it for future reference. I will hopefully be creating a plugin sooner or later lol and I might need these information. :-)
