More on WordPress 2.9
Back after taking 3 days off for a rare occasion and I just noticed that there was more new out abut WordPress 2.9. Seems there have been some problems with certain versions of PHP curl extensions.
This has caused some problems with scheduled posts and trackbacks. Personally I have had no problems but it does look like there will be a 2.9.1 very shortly as they are beta testing it right now.
With this news if you have not upgraded yet to WordPress 2.9 then I would recommend waiting until 2.9.1 is released. A few days to only upgrade once seems the best way to deal with it to me.
As I mentioned before Christmas I am really looking for your questions about blogging and WordPress in particular. I am looking to start a series of answers here very shortly. Your input is needed for the topics that matter to you.

It’s always nice to see that WP is making the needed changes to keep their software working for as many people as possible.

I know you may have mentioned it before but how about giving us a list of recommended and required plugins to make our blogs run smoothly and efficiently.

I’m amazed how quickly WordPress has been developed in such a powerful tool and how quickly small glitches are resolved. I keep discovering tools, just zipped a couple of niche themes I got, pointed WP to, it and in a few seconds they installed the theme ready for activations. No FTP required! Can’t be easier then that!

Thanks for your awesome efforts to keep us updated on WP throughout 2009, Mike – any predictions on what innovations or add-ons will be coming down the pipe in 2010? What innovations would YOU like to see added as time goes on?

I find it’s always best to wait a week or so before upgrading to the latest WordPress (unless it’s an important security patch). it always takes a little while for people to catch incompatibilities and glitches.
This time tweetmeme stopped working until they updated the plugin.

My Simple tags plug in didn’t work with the newest upgrade. Would like even more clarity on Tags Vs. Keywords, a Categories vs. Keywords/tags. Which is going to get me traffic from the search engines?
