Your Weekly Devot:ee - December 30, 2010

This week is the final Weekly Devot:ee for 2010. What a year for ExpressionEngine add-ons! Thanks to all the developers for their hard work. We hope 2011 is much like 2010 in terms of new add-ons being made available all the time. It’s a wonder to behold.

Per a user suggestion, this week we implement a little something new: if an add-on is commercial, you’ll see a dollar sign symbol ‘$’ just before the EE1/EE2 info.

We hope you had a safe and enjoyable holiday season, and wish you all the best for 2011. Happy New Year!
