Happy #humpday everyone! Hope you all have had a productive week so far and can power through to Friday! I have some new plugins and a new theme to share today! Lightweight Personal touts some SEO goodness and it’s also translation ready. The design looked pretty clean too when I took a look at the preview. Check it out and those new plugins after the jump!
Jetpack's Hidden Featured Content Function
Jetpack is an interesting plugin mostly because it’s the plugin that people love to love and also love to hate.

Gravity Forms See Major Release with 1.7

Have at it folks and enjoy – give credit where credit is due!
