I'm pursuing my first big side project and would love some Brazen peeps to be a part of it. I spend all of my time helping businesses leverage WordPress for their website. I want to take everything I've learned and share it in a weekly/bi-weekly newsletter. I've worked with companies like HubSpot, DataXu and Canon USA on WordPress. The newsletter is free and I ultimately want to make a book out of it when I finish on all things WordPress for businesses. Please Subscribe! http://wpbusiness.info

I found a very bad call to action plugin on WordPress so I decided to create my own that made use of WordPress 3.0 custom post types and sidebar widgets. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/call-to-action/ It is very much still in beta but I am using it on my site with great success. The plugin displays a Call to Action in your sidebar based on the current category. Just assign each Call to Action with a few categories and you are good to go. Let me know how I can make this better.
