New Version of Category LiveBookmarks Plus for WordPress 2.3
CLB+ As many WordPress users now realize, there have been many fundamental changes in the new version of WordPress. The latest version of WordPress — 2.3 — features a considerably revamped database structure, including a complete reorganization and redistribution of the wp_categories table. Unfortunately, such database alterations have rendered inoperable many popular plugins, proving quite unfortunate not only for millions of WordPress users, but also for those of us who donate time, effort, and resources toward the [...] • Read more »
WordPress 2.1 Blogroll Nightmare and Lessons Learned
Here at Perishable Press, we like to stay current by running the latest version of WordPress.

Although each of these upgrades have required various file edits, plugin tweaks, and theme modifications, the process is always educational and remains an important aspect of this site.

New Version of Category LiveBookmarks Available
Thanks to some valuable feedback, several inconsistencies were discovered in our Category LiveBookmarks plugin for WordPress.
