Entity Reference Views Help Drupal Content Creators
Entity Reference Views are one way you can make life easier for Drupal content creators.
Normally, when people are creating content on your site, each field consists of a single box with a single data point. For example, in a list of people, you might get only the person's name.
Entity Reference Views allow you to provide far more information. For example, you can add photos and personal details to your list of people.

What WordPress Template File Am I Using?
Sometimes you discover a plugin and wonder how you ever survived without it.
For me, that's true for the "What Template Am I Using?" plugin. This is like Firebug, but specifically for your WordPress site. It's incredibly useful for theme developers. The plugin shows you the current template file you're using, plus any additional files being called such as header.php or footer.php. Oh, and it shows lots of additional information as well.
In this video from class "Introduction to WordPress Theme Development", Topher introduces you to the WordPress theme hierarchy and to this very useful plugin.
