Last night I ran across a WordPress plugin called Widget Context by Kaspars Dambis. The plugin gives you the ability to control on what context any widget will show up in, allowing you to narrow down widget content to certain types of posts / pages, to certain categories and URL’s. It’s really useful and allowed me to do some things within WordPress rather than making an ugly hack to a template — making things easier to maintain for non-developers in the future.

Currently, I’m using the plugin to show a custom menu on a certain set of sub-pages over on Mt Zion Church‘s website. Any WP developers out there, let me know if there’s a better way, but thanks Kaspars for the plugin — it’s certainly useful.
