It turns out there's some security issue with the WP-Cal plugin. Please download the new version of the plugin here.

WordPress 2.3 is in beta development as we speak, and one of the main new features is embedded tag support. I'd say jay, because I'm a big supporter of seperate tags and categories, mainly because you can do fun things with the categories, while you keep the tags to give some simple information on the essence of the post. Now you might ask, what fun things can you with categories?

Last week Vinnie and I decided it was time ochblog got a new theme. So we talked a bit about how stuff should be layed out, decided on what colors to use, and we searched for a theme we could brutally violate to fit our needs. About two hours later we had a reasonable thing going with a modified version of the unnamed theme.

Just created, already updated.

I've created a little plugin to build dropdown menu's based on your page list, over here.

IMPORTANT!: If you've downloaded the version 0.3 of this plugin from my site, please update to version 0.4 because there are some security issues with the original plugin!

For some time now, we're using the wp-cal plugin on Ochblog. It really is a great plugin, once you've got it working. To bad it's just a nightmare to get it working properly. I don't know how many adjustments I had to make to the code to get the thing going, but it finally works now. Since the original plugin writer seems kinda busy doin other things, it's now available for download here (version 0.4).

To use asides in the sidebar in wordpress, you can two ways. You could use a single category (outdated wordpress stuff alert) for your asides, where you keep the asides out of the main loop, and use multiple loops to display this category in the sidebar. You could also use the miniposts plugin, wich has the advantage that you could use multiple categories for your asides.
