| Adding a link to a gallery item | Custom Links on images within a gallery | Allows you to add an arbitrary link to an item in a native WP gallery | At WordPress.org |
| Event management | Event Organiser | This plugin handles event scheduling, collecting payments, and making calendars. The plugin developer is very responsive to questions. | wp-event-organiser.com |

| My website isn't ready for primetime yet | Ultimate Coming Soon Page | This plugin lets you put up a nice 'coming soon' splash screen. Anyone with a login to the site can see it, but causal folks can't. Many more features in the Pro version. | SeedProd |
