What do people do who can use WordPress, and have ideas for widgets and plugins, but have no skill in creating them? I have a widget/plugin idea that I don't have the skill to implement: an app that will allow blog contributors to create comments in the right column next to the paragraphs of the original blog post which is in the left column. I know there are a couple of such apps out there (for example Commentpress, or http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/marginalia/), but I find these clunky, and I can't get a response from the authors. I have a very minimal skill level: I can use widgets and plugins, but I can't create them. Suggestions gratefully acknowledged. General suggestions like "hire a designer" or "learn the software" politely ignored, not because they are not pertinent, but because they are vague and, by their clutter, discourage genuinely useful posts. Thank you.

Alternatively use this as the project to learn PHP/WordPress.

Posted 1 year ago #You could also use elance to find someone to do it. But I would greatly suggest trying to do it yourself, through tutorials. It's a really good skill to have as it will allow you to customize your site even further. :)
