I’m pretty happy with the Twitter Tools plugin, but I quite like Brave New Code‘s plugins, so I’m trying Word Twit out to see if I should switch.

Kimili Flash Embed borks WP 2.7
Maybe it’s just my installations, but after upgrading WP to version 2.7 (which I love), my content input window in visual mode wasn’t working properly. no text control menus and text wasn’t visible.
After trouble shooting plug-ins, guilty party was Kimili Flash Embed.
Plug it in Plug it in
Sorry for anyone who was getting “page not found” returns on some of the items on the front page of the blog. I’d installed a new plug-in that was a bigtover-earnest in rewriting URLs.
One of the great things about WordPress is the sheer volume of plug-ins created to provide all sorts of functionality and features. Sometimes they choke, and my fault for not re-checking what was happening after I installed this one.
All’s well and back to normal.
Flash 10 and WordPress image uploader
I’m not sure how I missed it, but if you’re a WordPress user and you love the image upload function, stay away from Flash 10. It borks the uploader – and you’ll need to revert to Flash 9 or use the browser upload instead.
The WP forum ‘closed’ topic on image upload problems does mention this, but I hadn’t gone back to that doc since reading it the first time (trying to solve other image upload problems).
The WP forum seems to indicate its an issue especially for Linux, but the WP Image uploader for definitely doesn’t work with WP on my Intel Mac when running Flash 10.
Fortunately I was able to find my old Flash V9 player and reinstalled it.

Using WordPress as a CMS
I’ve just posted some notes on a project I really enjoyed working on for Dr. Tony Bates, a former professor at UBC. It was an interesting challenge organizing his huge library of content – great guy to work with.
