Based on the feedback from my previous post, I think I know what the issue may be between Twitter Tools 2.0 and WordPress 2.9.

A bunch of folks in the WordPress support forums appear to be having trouble with Twitter Tools with WordPress 2.9. It works as expected in my testing, the WordPress HelpCenter hasn’t been able to reproduce this either, and the works/broken voting on the plugin page is fairly evenly split. I’d love to gather some explicit…

WordPress 2.9 has been released – time to upgrade! There are some pretty nice new features in this release. I’m glad to be able to retire a few plugins now that the post thumbnail feature is built in and we’re going to wear out the comment meta feature in our custom implementations. I’ve got a…

I’m going to be on the WordPress Weekly podcast next Tuesday (dialing in from the Bay Area, hopefully will find a spot for the interview that will work OK). There is a thread at WP Tavern for people to post questions they’d like to hear me discuss. I think there are a lot of very…

I’ve experienced a weird and unfortunate chain reaction over the last 48 hours. A flood of comment spam Akismet not accepting connections from my server1 and/or not catching the spam. UPDATE: this wasn’t Akismet’s fault, see bottom of post. The email notifications from all the spam comments sending to my mail account My mail host…

I’ve published another Q&A on the Carrington Framework on the Carrington web site. This one covers some additional questions I saw popping up in the forums and comments.
