Template tags is a really good thing i Wordpress. Unfortunately there are some tags missing. I created a plugin to provide Wordpress users with extra template tags. It can be used in themes or plugins.

To prevent future function collisions I’ve put an underscore before every template tag. The Wordpress team might delvelop these template tags later. If some tag already exist don’t hesitate to leave a comment.
