After a list of simple and really useful WordPress tricks i got amazing feedback which inspired me to write this one on amazingly cool WordPress hacks which are probably not often used but very inspiring and original and in my case showed me new possibilities of WordPress and a completely new way of use.
I’ve split it in two parts, because code might be long somewhere, so be sure you subscribe to be updated on second part. Also i won’t comment the code, just start reading it and you’ll see there’s to need for it, but if you do have any questions feel free to post them in comments. Enjoy!

Previously we have learned some useful WordPress Tricks which gave us new possibilities by turning WordPress into a kind of Content Management System (CMS). Basically it was for beginners level so now we’ll do something more advance by learning how to grab various data from WordPress database and then style it etc by using a bit more of pure php.
I’m going to demonstrate this on two examples - display latest comments and latest post by most commented (if you for example need just latest posts check useful WordPress tricks comments

After a short break of writing on WordPress and on the request of my subscribers i decided to make a list of useful WordPress tricks and you are probably already using some of them, if not going to when making a WordPress theme. As you already know WordPress is one of the most popular blog platforms these days and it has grown so powerful that you can use it also use as Content Management System (CMS).
If you are new to WordPress and blogging itself you should read “Before you start blogging” article and go with some free themes for now, which you can find here in free themes directory.

Now when we have learned how to customize your count for RSS and digg it’s time to learn how to do it for del.icio.us like I’m using on my themes page for example. As del.icio.us is in top 3 you just have to have it for bookmarking services because it usually gives most of the traffic right after Stumble
To make your count into plain text (for now and then you can do with it what ever you want) we’ll use small JavaScript and del.icio.us JSON feeds (read more about it here). You can see all kind of other services in your del.icio.us. setting account (for example network badges etc)
