Blog Plugins

or first n characters

Would this work for excerpts:

• Image upload box to upload a image (or link to one) to be used as the thumbnail (If empty, no thumbnail)
  
• Excerpt button below WYSIWYG editor (post content). Upon clicking the button, a excerpt field displays allowing to specify custom excerpt.
  
• If no excerpt was provided, an auto excerpt of the first 250(or so) characters or text. Would be stripped down of all HTML
  

For the quick post:

• "Quick Button" on main blog manager screen (above posts list). Upon clicking the button, a form will display with small wyiwyg editor(for content) and title filed.
  

Yeah what ive been thinking, but none of this "page options" stuff a custom pages page
Create new page - (normal pages)
Create new post/blog/news - streamlines news post

And if this awesome blog plugin was on git would be awesome as well.
