I have tested the new version of wordpress, but I am not currently running it on this site. I have made kind of a lot of changes to integrate the forums so I can’t just do an update like some of my other sites! I like the tagging features in the new version. They continue to make wordpress the best choice for bloggers.
I haven’t had the time to develop any more plugins, but I will. I have a big list of plugin ideas and I a, always open to new ones. I have had some questions about my mailing list plugin that I was going to release. I have’t let it out yet becauseĀ I don’t have the time to debug any problems that might arise. I want to be able to provide help through my forums so I am waiting until things slow down a bit. Plus I have to make sure everything works with the new version as well as the older versions!
Let me know if you are interested in coding any of my plugins. I will give you access to the repository. Please make sure you are well versed in object oriented programming with php. I try to keep my plugins very easy for other coders to work with.
