WordPress.org

With this plugin you can switch to a totally different blog template when you are logged in to your wordpress dashboard. It's great for theme development as you can tweak the template online without breaking stuff for visitors. You can also use it for presentations, to show off various templates. I have added a widget to make this easier. The widget will never be shown to anonymous visitors, and you can configure what user class it will be shown to. If you have editors you may want to exclude them from using it.

Why I wrote this? I posted a technique on how to use different CSS styles for logged in users, but I needed something more powerful. And I thought maybe others would like it too.

My other plugins

Better tag cloud: I was pretty unhappy with the default WordPress tag cloud widget. This one is more powerful and offers a list HTML markup that is consistent with most other widgets.
Rhyming widget: I wrote a little online rhyming dictionary. This is a widget to search it directly from one of your sidebars.
Snow and more: This one lets you see snowflakes (or other, custom images) fall down your blog.
Fireworks: The name says it all, see fireworks on your blog!
