The Atropos plugin lets you set an expiration date for your posts. This is done in a new Advanced Options section of the post edit page:

This plugin lets you use images to replace the titles of your posts, thus circumventing the problem of guessing what fonts your end-users might have installed.

This is primarily a reworking of the Image Headlines plugin by Brian “ColdForged” Dupuis, so that it would work in WordPress 2.3. Of course, THAT was a reworking of another plugin by Joel Bennett. Anyway, this plugin lets you replace text on your site (titles specifically, but you can actually replace just about anything) with atttractively rendered TrueType Fonts images. (Read more…)
