Apologies for the mess the site has been in for the last 18 hours. A mangled .htaccess file (who knows how?) made the site inaccessible and then to compound problems I was locked out of ftp so I couldn’t put things right.

Peter Scally, SJ and Jesuit Media Initiatives have just unveiled another venture. After pray-as-you-go comes ThinkingFaith — the online journal of the British Jesuits — a mix of articles, book and film reviews.
It’s been online for just 3 hours right now — give it a look.

Though I’m not up to preaching these days I thought I might enlist the Loyola Hall Team to give their reflections occasionally. Today’s offering is from Edel McClean.
Readings: Isaiah 35:1-6,10; Psalm 145:6-10; James 5:7-10; Matt 11:2-11

Version 2.3.7 of the post plugins should be out soon. I’ve been making a bunch of little changes to provide some asked for features. The delay has been in the next version of Similar Posts which has undergone some major revisions including stemming and global word weighting. It also lets you configure the balance of content, title and tags (new) to get the most relevant posts for your particular blog. That’s meant some major architectural changes which I am trying to test before releasing. Also, since tag-based relevance is now included I’ve scrapped the ability to add keywords to a custom field. I have actually never heard of anyone using the feature but I’m bracing myself for a host of users rising up in revolt!
Any feature requests for upcoming versions?

Version 2.3.5 of the plugins is a rebuild to avoid all the admin page code being loaded when not needed. It also allows posts to be matched according to the current post’s tags.

I have long intended to make my post plugins into widgets but have only just got to it. In fact it turned out to be an easy process.
Version 2.3.4 of the plugins also adds the option to exclude or include the current post from the output.

Just posted a rather simple plugin to highlight the comments made by the author of a post among all the other comments.
I’ve seen lots of ways of doing the job but they all seem to involve hacking the code of your template or of WordPress files. The new plugin does the job automatically — all you have to do is provide a snippet of CSS to apply to the special comments.

Version 2.3.3 beta of my post plugins adds support for WordPress 2.3’s built-in tagging.
You can find recent posts with a particular tag, similar posts that have any of a bunch of tags, random posts sharing all specified tags, or whatever permutation you like.
