Place of Stuff

Now here’s a convoluted way of getting a plugin. I was looking through Hari’s blog, the blogroll in particular and followed a link to a post on R T Cunningham’s blog. Browsing around there, I noticed he had a plugin applied which gave similar posts in a list. Which reminded me that the latest upgrade of Wordpress broke the version of the same plugin that I was using and I have to deactivate it.

So, I went back to the plugin site and noticed that there was a new version out. I downloaded it and installed it and added the relevant code to my single.php file and lo! the plugin works and I now have a list of similar posts again. So, thanks to RT for jogging my memory and thanks to Rob Marsh for an excellent plugin!

In other news, you may also notice that I have added, again, Browser Sniff which tells the world which browser and OS you used while posting a comment to this site. It wasn’t working (or I forgot and didn’t reuse it after an upgrade) and it works perfectly under WP 2.3. So thank you to Priyadi Iman Nurcahyo for this plugin.

If you are a Wordpress user, but are unhappy with Wordpress, there are a few options you can choose for software to migrate to. Until recently, b2evolution had no Wordpress import option - or, conversely, Wordpress had no b2evolution export option. And then, me old mate Hari went code mad and wrote one!

You can read all about it here - I won’t rehash his post, otherwise you won’t read it, but suffice to say that with help from our host, Drew, and from Francois Planque the maintainer of b2evolution he put together a tool to seamlessly move your Wordpress blog to b2evolution.

I’m relatively happy with Wordpress (but then, I’m no coder) but having seen b2evolution in action, should I ever want to move I’ll probably choose that and it’s good to know that I will have a trouble free migration. (Did I mention b2evolution enough yet?)
