It will forward for your main posts feed, and optionally your main comments feed as well.
- Future Posts Calendar Widget – It adds a simple month-by-month calendar that shows all the months you have future posts for (and the current month no matter what), it highlights the days you have posts for, and as an added bonus if you click a day, the Post Timestamp boxes change to that day, month and year (although it doesn’t check the edit timestamp box to avoid accidental changes).

- Popularity Contest – This plugin will help you see which of your posts are most popular. Views, comments, etc. are tracked and given configurable point values to determine popularity.
- Redirect Old Slugs – You could both just change the slug, and have old links to the post break, or you could go through the trouble of setting up an Apache redirect for the old link to the new one. This plugin was created to fill that need. Now you can change your post or page slugs with impunity.
