Plugins

CoSchedule

A WordPress plugin that adds a simple to use drag and drop editorial calendar. This main feature is not the coolest thought, the best thing about it is probably the ability to add some social media message planning. This is a paid plugin, but you can try it for free there.

Themes

Romangie

Romangie is a new theme in the WordPress Theme Directory and is one of only a handful to support the latest Twitter Bootstrap 3 release. The theme is fully responsive and, although it is based on Bootstrap, it’s not heavy-handed with the styling, nor does it look like your typical Bootstrap site.
