addressing what i think is one of the weakest parts of wordpress, aaron forgue has created a betterthumbs plugin for wordpress that allows you to create thumbnails of any kind. its impressively invisible (‘it just works’), creating thumbnails based on whatever size you choose for the full-size image in the wordpress editor (it even works in the code editor too). well done aaron…now if they can just integrate this into wordpress itself…

open source development ftw!

ps. i felt this deserved a digg
