I have updated the Similar Posts plugin for WordPress to Version 1.02. There is no extra functionality but users should upgrade for stability reasons. Version 1,02 protects against a vulnerability where stray characters in the matching terms could cause database errors. This update also fixes a potential naming conflict between the internal names of its …
Yearly Archives: 2006
Friday Week 26 Year II
Readings: Job 38:1, 12-21, 40:3-5; Luke 10:13-16 We get a rare glimpse of a family likeness today: Father and Son both letting off steam, both sounding provoked beyond endurance, both ticked off.

Similar Posts: Update

I’ve just installed the Scripturizer plugin by Dean Peters et al. I’ve long wanted to include links to the scripture texts that give the liturgical context for my homilies but been daunted by all the fiddling involved.

A Word of Caution When Changing Domains
In my recent move I transferred the contents of this blog by using the WordPress XML Import/Export plugin developed by Aaron Brazell (from code by Matt Mullenweg that is being developed for WP 2.1). It basically did the trick as you can see from this working blog however there is a snag. Although it produces a working …
