HD-Gfonts
Works as advertised! Allows enhanced website presentation.

As downloaded, the font list was incomplete as Google continues to add new fonts I guess.

However, the associated files are trivial to edit to include any new Google web font that appears.

I like it!

Thanks for the great review!
The latest version now includes the full Google Font Directory (including Bold, Italic and Bold-Italic variations). As it is an ongoing project it is difficult to keep bang up to date but I aim to update on a month by month basis. However if you do spot any fonts that need adding please let me know.

Show Control Panel
I have been looking for something like this for some time. I get fed up with having to go to the Joomla drop-down menu every time to select the control panel. This admin module puts an icon on the menu bar.

An update for Joomla 1.5 native would be nice :-)

The module has now been updated to 1.5 Native

Being able to create a toc from headings is a good idea. This extension works well, but there is only one setting, either on or off for all content items.

Currently all content items are affected by the plugin. This includes articles where you might want headings (good for SEO) but not a table of contents.

I have also found that it clashes with the Simple List extension.

What would be good is a plugin which could be activated on a content by content basis.

Simple Font Resizer
The ability to resize site fonts on-the-fly increases site accessibility and this module works well.

To make it work the way I wanted I had to go through the site css and change px values to em values for the classes that I wanted to resize.

This is no bad thing as if you don't want menu headings to be resized but only content you set the relevant headings to px and they are not affected.

ContentPassword
It does what it says. A useful extension to give site privileges to certain users, especially given Joomla's weakness in this area.

MetaMod
This is a very interesting module/extension with the ability to control module publication according to date and PHP scripting rules from within Metamod.

This gives very useful functionality to Joomla and makes it worth delving into PHP a little more to take full advantage of a well thought out extension.

I haven't found any bugs yet with limited testing.

The only things missing are to auto-unpublish Metamod if no modules are set to display and to auto publish a specific module if another named module expires, although this might be possible with PHP scripting.

Documentation is good, so you will have no trouble getting the extension up and running. The author has clearly put in a lot of time and thought into this.

Thank you for sharing this module.

JooTabs
Good idea, if it worked as advertised.

Poor/no instructions to get modules to display. Needed to refer to form to get ANY information in this area.

Looks like you need to duplicate modules on page to get tabs to work. Cannot get functionality to work like demo site.

PLEASE provide more information or else module is virtually unusable.

This is a extension with a fairly steep leaning curve that repays you many times over for the time spent.

So far, I have been able to build a drop-down suckerfish menu (with a little help from my friends), child menus directly from other menus and section/category menu items all from the same extension.

This is a truly amazing extension that you only appreciate when you work with it.
