Future improvements

• Make the <!--more--> work. [Can you help to understand the problem? Thanks]
• Set the number of post listed for each page, using pagination buttons. If no value is set, display the default number of posts.
• Display more than one category at time (for example books and dvds), using comma separated numeric category-ids (131, 12, 36).
• Check if displayed_categories is set.
• Check if categories exist.

• default license selector for the whole site, based on Creative Commons wpLicense;
• event description based on Event Calendar: resolving date and time translations, please help; adding microformats and rdfa support;
• subpages menu for each page with children or siblings, based on Sub Pages widget: adding expand/collapse folders by javascript;
• advanced category management, based on Enhanced Categories;
• multiple languages plugin that affects the whole interface (header, footer, pages, templates, categories, calendar etc.), based on qTranslate: solving last incompatibilities with other plugins;
• integrated geolocation for each post, based on GeoPress;
• xhtml strict + css validated code.

Microformats code for the timestamp of this post should be: <abbr class="published" title="2008-01-29T11:42:00+01:00'); ?>">January 29, 2008, 11:42 am</abbr>, where 2008-01-29T11:42:00+01:00 is the ISO 8601 timestamp.

WordPress has not a founction that outputs a standard ISO 8601 timestamp.
The date and time when a post has been published can be called using WP functions the_time and the date, that follow php rules.

The best result you can achieve using default WP 2.3.1/Php commands is 2008-01-29T11:42:00+0100, without : in the time-offset (+0100 should be +01:00).

<abbr class="published" title="<?php the_time('Y-m-d\TH:i:sO'); ?>"><?php the_date(); ?>, <?php the_time(); ?></abbr>, that is the default DATE_ISO8601 datetime constant, as defined on pear. So, if you want this result, it’s better to use <?php the_time(DATE_ISO8601); ?>.
But now the question is which is the correct ISO 8601 timestamp? 2008-01-29T11:42:00+01:00 or 2008-01-29T11:42:00+0100?
