If you’ve ever tried posting source code on your blog you probably have noticed that Wordpress has the annoying habbit of stripping out multiple spaces out of your post, god knows why.
Anyway, I was not the only one getting annoyed by this and so a plugin already exists to fix this behaviour, only this plugin will make ugly nbsp’s appear in your post when editing it, to fix this, simply replace line 39 with the following
$text = str_replace(' ',' ',$text); // Allow NBSP's
That’s it, you should now be able to use multiple spaces in your posts.

Whilst monitoring the #wordpress irc channel on irc.freenode.net I came across a question by “erchik” asking how to add smilies to his widgets.
After some researching I found this to be quite simple, of course there is unfortunately no global way of doing this for all your widgets at once, since every widget has it’s own backend, but it’s quite easy to achieve and is not limited to widgets, you can use it in plugins and templates all the same.
Simply add the following lines to your code right before you are outputting the string that you want to contain smilies
global $wp_smiliessearch, $wp_smiliesreplace;
$content = preg_replace($wp_smiliessearch, $wp_smiliesreplace, $content);
Replace $content with the name of your string containing the content.
