Two hours ago WordPress 2.6.2 was committed. It's yet to be announced on the Development Blog but anyway, this is a very urgent mandatory upgrade. Let's all salute the responsiveness of the core team: version 2.6.2 was released about 5 hours after a critical bug affecting 2.6.1 was filed. Upgrade!
I ran into an interesting problem, facing what is certainly an HTML limitation that had somehow never really occurred to me. The thing is: when you submit a form with empty fields, empty values are POSTed, except for checkboxes and radio buttons which are not posted at all, just as if they were no such field in the form. For…
A post that's not about WordPress but, hey, it's about Jazz, so I'm not that far :) One of my sisters works for the (French) National Jazz Orchestra and so I was invited to one of their concerts, featuring their album named Close to Heaven: A Led Zeppelin Tribute.

My comment went into moderation as per his comment policy, but instead of the standard message you've been told a million times…
As you may have read it already on Lorelle's blushful announcement, I made a Comment Counter widget for Liz Strauss. Liz Strauss is considered to be an expert in the art of engaging conversations and, for blog, comments (I dig her blog tagline "You're only a stranger once"). One day Lorelle and Liz were chatting about how successful she was…
Edit: Oops! I actually forgot to press the "Commit" button :) Now you can get the new version! Here is another update of your favorite plugin, the ubermighty Admin Drop Down Menu. I'll make it short: Fixed: a bug with Safari & OSX that was causing sort of blank screens. Thanks to Dale for being a tester for me. He…
When updating my WordPress plugin Admin Drop Down Menu with all these cute icons from famfamfam, I felt a bit overwhelmed by them. I knew there were a lot of icons, I just never realized there were so many! Digging through 1000 icons for something that would match "Permalink options" is not that fast. After spending 15 minutes looking at…
