This one comes from the venerable NuclearMoose. He is a good friend, a great human being, Canadian, has a tremendous sense of humor and is a great WordPresser. Jonathan, the header link will be fixed as soon as I decide upon a graphic. Thanks for bearing with me till then. 😛

Brian Meidell’s Blog >> Nested Comments: Somewhat repetitive, since I already had a threaded comment hack, but this is a plugin as compared to a hack. This is for WordPress 1.2 Mingus. [EDIT] The plugin features collapsible threads. Cool! Via: NoScope

Matt Read posted a quick mention of the release of PHP Markdown on the WordPress Support forums so I thought I would pass this along to everyone. Michel Fortin has ported over John Gruber’s original Markdown into a plugin for WordPress as well as a tool for bBlog, Smarty, and other PHP-based tools. Here is some information directly from Michel’s site: PHP Markdown is a port of the original Markdown program from John Gruber. Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).

Pedro Vera’s Web Log >> Warning to users of both cPanel X and WordPress: If you are a WordPress user and are planning (or have) used cPanel X to control your web space, this might be a warning to read about. Basically, .htaccess is overwritten.

Some very cool and useful webhosting and WorPress tutorials: Though these have been displayed on WLTC in the past, the URI has changed and the need for good tutorials has increased many fold. So check out the .htaccess, .htpasswd, subdomain, cpanel and other tutorials.

I have just released a new hack for WordPress 1.3+. Basically it allows you to delete all comments that match a certain set of variables, e.g. all comments from IP 127.0.0.1, with one click.  You can find out more info and the download link over at my site, in the post entitled “Well anyway here is the hack…“. It should be fairly straightforward to use, but as always you can leave any questions you have at my site. Buh-bye.
