People that know me well know that I am what my friend Gill calls a Pocus. I've always been fascinated with lists. And I've lately realized I'm not the only one. The Web's flooded with lists of all kinds. You want to be promoted to Digg's first page? Go write a list. So I've setup listluv. I dream one day listluv will be a total list of lists. We all have heard about metablogging (that's what I do here...). listluv is metalisting. Awesome. I'm slowly adding lists. It has three already... Now seriously, pay a visit to listluv if you care. Even if you don't, go there all the same. Don't force me to post the "Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Visit listluv Right Now"! Links | listluv | Focus Pocus or The two types of people

I've just found a theme I didn't had any notice of. It's very nice looking and yet not very popular; haven't seen it in any of those famous "Best 10 themes" lists... Very usable for artsy blogs. Link | ArtFull magazine

Nial Giacomelli has released a plugin that grabs your Twitter, Digg and del.icio.us stuff and includes them in your blog as regular posts, which can be formatted to distinguish them from your actual regular posts. I can think of a couple of nice uses for this plugin, but I'll wait for Nial to release further versions... Link | Announcing SocialBoaster via SocialBoaster at the WordPress Plugin Directory

Nalin Makar has just updated his amazing theme HemingwayEx to v1.5 Final. Main changes are new CSS styles in black, blue and gray, and the removal of support for Hemingway blocks (now it only works with widgets). Link | HemingwayEx 1.5 Final

Maybe you already know AideRSS, a tool that analyzes feeds in terms of diggs, del.icio.us links and comments and classifies the posts in the feed as top notch or bullshit. Not that impressive anyway, I see it rather like a toy for bloggers on rainy days. Anyway, the news is that, using the just released API, Denis Hua has developed a Wordpress plugin that includes in your sidebar your top posts, again as for AideRSS. Nice and different way to promote your most popular posts. Not that it drives me crazy, though! Link | AideRSS WordPress Plugin - New Fish

Vikiworks V5 is a theme by Yichi, a Beijing designer recently notorious for having designed the August free theme of Smashing Mag, Infinity. V5 is definitively an uncommon theme (which is good, in case you're wondering...) It is Twitter and Flickr enabled, with a nice slideshow. And it comes with the source PSD file. I don't need to tell you how good is that. Link | Vikiworks V5 theme

I've found AdServe, a plugin that makes exactly what I was looking for. It allows you to manage your ads (the ones you sell directly, not the AdSense ones) quite painlessly. In words of the developer, "you could setup your banner campaigns using different sized banners, set available impressions and count resulting clicks! Optionally AdServe links ads to blog users so that one could check the campaign results within the Dashboard!" Link | IRISCO » wp-adserve.

Earlier this month I launched yoik, a group micro-blogging platform built upon WP and Prologue. It's still in beta phase, of course. The thing is the launch has been extremely cold. I've received really REALLY few invitation requests. So, I obviously suck at marketing, either "healthy" or viral. What am I missing? Any ideas? Leave your suggestions in the comments!

I've just found Genfavicon, an online tool for making favicons the easy way. Worth a look.

Is your WP site still not ready for visitors' eyes? Then park it with LaunchPad!
