Posted on 22. Jan, 2010 by Shawn Ramsey in Resources

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been rounding up some of the best WordPress plugins, focusing on some specific categories, and posting them here on a weekly basis. Seeing how we’re just a few weeks into the new year, I thought in this article we would shift gears a little and showcase a few brand new plugins all of which combine the powerful use of jQuery.

As jQuery continues to grow in popularity, I expect some very powerful plugins to be introduced throughout the year. To give you a glimpse of what has already been unleashed, here is a list of 10 New jQuery Plugins Released In 2010.

The table of contents plugin looks interesting. Thanks for labeling the images, it made it easier to understand what each plugin did.
