WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin is Fantastic!

I’ve been testing the Automatic Upgrade Plugin for WordPress the last few weeks. I have used it for the last two WP upgrades 2.6.1 and 2.6.2. So far it has worked flawlessly to provide simple and seamless upgrades. I do follow each step in the process without ever selecting the option to “skip” a step. I should add that I have actually run four upgrades successfully as I am using this plugin on two separate WP installations.

On a third, separate installation, I was not able to successfully run the upgrade. I’m not surprised though as this instance is behind a firewall and running on a Windows server.

WordPress Batch Categories A Must For Any Blogger

I was in the process of moving many of my tech related posts from my dontlookhere site to my new site (here), when I discovered how painful it was going to be to categorize and tag all the entries. After a quick search, I found Batch Categories from RobM. It’s not perfect, but it’s close. This little plugin saved me a ton of time (re)organizing all my tech related posts and tags. The only drawback so far with this plugin is that it doesn’t seem to be fully CSS compliant with Firefox and Safari. I have not yet test on a PC using Internet Explorer yet, but I’d prefer to not have to use a PC if possible. The problem it has is with the navigation not showing properly. See my pic below. Other than that, kudos to Rob for building a great plugin.
