So far so good with the upgrade to 2.6. I’m looking forward to trying some new plugins i.e. caching, twitter, etc.

I installed Wordpress 2.6 to my test bed tonight. First impression: wow! Gears makes admin tasks much faster, previewing a theme is very handy, and the small tweaks in the plugins and media managers are great. I’ll wait a few days to install it here and over at SKFoxy, but if first impressions are any [...]

I keep getting HTTP errors when using the flash upload in WP 2.5 and 2.5.1. After some digging around a bit, adding the following to my .htaccess file solved it:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

I previously wrote about the awesome people at The Design Canopy using Wordpress as a contact manager. I’ve done a ton of work to it to add features, give it a new theme, and extend it beyond their original format. It isn’t done yet, and I’m not even sure when it is going to [...]

This is a simple tip, mostly for myself, with hopes that it will help a future googler. To show the three most recent article titles from wordpress in a non-wordpress page, do the following:
index.php (non-wordpress PHP page)
<ul><?php include(”GetNews.php”); ?></ul>
GetNews.php
<?php
require(’wp_directory/wp-blog-header.php’);
wp_get_archives(’type=postbypost&limit=3&format=html’);
?>
Simple enough if you want to just show headlines with links to the post page.
