Redirect Old Slugs is a WordPress plugin that allows you to change the post slug on published entries without breaking the old permalinks. So if you published a post with the slug this-is-my-post-slug and decided to change it to post-slug all links pointing to the old one would magically be forwarded to the new location. Anyone who has ever made a spelling error in a post title knows how useful this will be!

HOW-TO: Using SVN to keep your WordPress Blog up-to-date Use statically linked binaries for SVN and cron jobs to install and update your blog to the most up-to-date release of WordPress.

Some awesome code from “cake” of brothercake. Not sure of their real name but in looking through their AJAX “Docking Boxes” (which is being used in WordPress development) I found a bunch of other scripts and helpers that are quite cool. I just wish I could find an implementation of docking boxes using AJAX that would allow movement in both axes, much like Google. [EDIT] Found one from Tim Taylor

10 Most Powerful Women in Blogging : Joi Ito of Technorati (http://joi.ito.com ) has her hands in a lot of Web 2.0 companies, some you might not even know about yet. This makes her damn powerful. Often times the one you don’t know that well is the most powerful. My personal favorite because she seems to help people get shit done. I am still not sure whether this was meant as a joke, to look like an ass, just pure oversight or it was simple lack of research.
