Flexi Pages

WordPress has come a long way since its humble beginnings, and these days it’s more and more common to see it being used not only as a blog but also as a content management system. The built-in Pages widget does a good job of listing, well, pages, but its options are limited. Which brings us to Flexi Pages, a highly configurable WordPress sidebar widget to list pages and sub-pages. Can be used as an alternative to the default ‘Pages’ widget. It even has a special option to include a Home link, which can come in handy if the title of your home page is something other than Home. =) You can specify the sorting order, pages to exclude/include, and even specify if subpages are displayed. Very handy, and great tool to have if you’re doing more than just blogging.
