This release includes native tagging support, plugin update notification, URL handling improvements, and much more. This release is named for the great tenor saxophonist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexter_Gordon">Dexter Gordon</a>.</p>\n<p>The entire team is really proud of this release, and I&#8217;m happy that this is our second on-time release under our <a href="http://wordpress.org/about/roadmap/">new development schedule</a>. The grand experiment of a more agile WordPress with significant features in the hands of users more often is working. I could write a blog post about each new feature, but I&#8217;ll try to be brief:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Native tagging support</strong> allows you to use tags in addition to categories on your posts, if you so choose.

Tags are not categories. I was really disappointed when WordPress.com started confusing categories for tags, and wrote about <a href="http://carthik.net/blog/vault/2006/02/21/tags-are-not-categories/">why Tags are not Categories</a>. WordPress has finally come clean, and seen the light, and explained what&#8217;s what over at the <a href="http://wordpress.com/blog/2007/09/22/tags-and-categories/">Tags and Categories article at WordPress.com blog</a>. Now to take it a step further in the right direction, it would help if everyone thought about how tags add value to a blog. Tag Clouds are cool, but they&#8217;re not the be-all and end-all of tagging. Here&#8217;s some great ways to use the tags you painstaking created by tagging individual posts:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Improve search results on blogs by searching for articles containing the search term(s) as tags.</li>\n<li>Provide an easy way to navigate the blog using Tag intersections, unions, and other common operations on sets. This would make it possible to find articles where your favorite blogger talks about two of your favorite things, or one thing and not another. The focus is on making information easier to find.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>The above should replace the &#8220;site search tags&#8221; found under almost all of <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/">Lorelle</a>&#8217;s articles, and then some.</p>\n<p>The second step in the right direction is the removal of the links to developers&#8217; blogs from the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.3#Updated_Default_Blogroll">default blogroll</a>. A lot of the old developers and volunteers have been inactive and non-contributing members for a long time now. Indeed, it was good to have a PageRank of 8 for my own blog, but I had <a href="http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/2786">the link to my blog removed about a year and a half ago</a> when I decided to stop scaling down on my WordPress volunteer work. I did that because I thought that was a part of stepping down gracefully, and wasn&#8217;t too comfortable with going, &#8220;So who the heck is this &#8216;Carthik&#8217; in my blogroll?,&#8221; long after I stopped contributing. Also, I wasn&#8217;t sure my contributions were at-par with those of some of the others who put in way more effort. It&#8217;s hard to decide where to draw the line with recognizing contributions to open source projects anyways. It&#8217;s better now since no one can point at finger at some old contributor profiting without contributing by means of selling text links on their blog now. Good job!</p>\n<p>The MovableType importer is no longer as memory hungry as it used to be. You can also add new importers by installing importer plugins. Very cool. </p>\n<p>A lot of the changes were from the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/?show=popular">most wanted changes/ideas proposed by users</a>, and that is good news in itself. Now if only some of the other ideas are implemented, like searching in both &#8220;Posts&#8221; and &#8220;Pages&#8221; by default, instead of just in Posts.</p>\n<p>So, on a personal level, these are my thoughts about the changes in 2.3. The only small thing that irritates me are the new names in the db:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Three new <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/index.php?title=Version_2.3:New_Taxonomy">terms tables</a> (schema) term_relationships, term_taxonomy, and terms support combined post categories, link categories, and the new tags. The tables, categories, link2cat, and link2post, are gone!\n</p></blockquote>\n<p>I am yet to understand what &#8220;terms&#8221; are, what &#8220;taxonomy&#8221; is and what kind of relationships &#8220;term_relationships&#8221; describes. If these tables deal with categories, tags, and I assume, blogroll links, wouldn&#8217;t it better to have those terms in the db table name, instead of the term &#8220;term&#8221;? I wonder. The new db table names give away nothing about their intended purpose in the database. All three terms are brand new, never before seen in the WordPress world. I am sure there must have a good reason to name them thus, which I&#8217;d love to know more about.</p>\n<p>So, in your opinion, what&#8217;s <em>wrong</em> about WordPress 2.3?</p>";s:7:"pubdate";s:31:"Thu, 27 Sep 2007 00:10:07 +0000";s:2:"dc";a:1:{s:7:"creator";s:7:"Carthik";}s:7:"summary";s:4504:"<p>So WordPress 2.3 is out, and the <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2007/09/wordpress-23/">release announcement</a> is exciting to read.</p>\n<p>First off, in 2.3, WordPress gives us real <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.3#Tagging"><strong>Tags</strong></a>.

Here&#8217;s some great ways to use the tags you painstaking created by tagging individual posts:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Improve search results on blogs by searching for articles containing the search term(s) as tags.</li>\n<li>Provide an easy way to navigate the blog using Tag intersections, unions, and other common operations on sets. This would make it possible to find articles where your favorite blogger talks about two of your favorite things, or one thing and not another. The focus is on making information easier to find.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>The above should replace the &#8220;site search tags&#8221; found under almost all of <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/">Lorelle</a>&#8217;s articles, and then some.</p>\n<p>The second step in the right direction is the removal of the links to developers&#8217; blogs from the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.3#Updated_Default_Blogroll">default blogroll</a>. A lot of the old developers and volunteers have been inactive and non-contributing members for a long time now. Indeed, it was good to have a PageRank of 8 for my own blog, but I had <a href="http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/2786">the link to my blog removed about a year and a half ago</a> when I decided to stop scaling down on my WordPress volunteer work. I did that because I thought that was a part of stepping down gracefully, and wasn&#8217;t too comfortable with going, &#8220;So who the heck is this &#8216;Carthik&#8217; in my blogroll?,&#8221; long after I stopped contributing. Also, I wasn&#8217;t sure my contributions were at-par with those of some of the others who put in way more effort. It&#8217;s hard to decide where to draw the line with recognizing contributions to open source projects anyways. It&#8217;s better now since no one can point at finger at some old contributor profiting without contributing by means of selling text links on their blog now. Good job!</p>\n<p>The MovableType importer is no longer as memory hungry as it used to be. You can also add new importers by installing importer plugins. Very cool. </p>\n<p>A lot of the changes were from the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/?show=popular">most wanted changes/ideas proposed by users</a>, and that is good news in itself. Now if only some of the other ideas are implemented, like searching in both &#8220;Posts&#8221; and &#8220;Pages&#8221; by default, instead of just in Posts.</p>\n<p>So, on a personal level, these are my thoughts about the changes in 2.3. The only small thing that irritates me are the new names in the db:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Three new <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/index.php?title=Version_2.3:New_Taxonomy">terms tables</a> (schema) term_relationships, term_taxonomy, and terms support combined post categories, link categories, and the new tags. The tables, categories, link2cat, and link2post, are gone!\n</p></blockquote>\n<p>I am yet to understand what &#8220;terms&#8221; are, what &#8220;taxonomy&#8221; is and what kind of relationships &#8220;term_relationships&#8221; describes. If these tables deal with categories, tags, and I assume, blogroll links, wouldn&#8217;t it better to have those terms in the db table name, instead of the term &#8220;term&#8221;? I wonder. The new db table names give away nothing about their intended purpose in the database. All three terms are brand new, never before seen in the WordPress world. I am sure there must have a good reason to name them thus, which I&#8217;d love to know more about.</p>\n<p>So, in your opinion, what&#8217;s <em>wrong</em> about WordPress 2.3?</p>";}i:10;a:7:{s:5:"title";s:28:"Matt: WordPress Plugin Stats";s:4:"guid";s:55:"http://photomatt.net/2007/09/26/wordpress-plugin-stats/";s:4:"link";s:55:"http://photomatt.net/2007/09/26/wordpress-plugin-stats/";s:11:"description";s:230:"<p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/">Our official WordPress plugin directory now lists some stats at the top</a>, as of right now there are 1,021 active plugins and they&#8217;ve gotten 1,597,994 downloads.

The tagging system is also wicked-fast, so your host won&#8217;t mind.</li>\n<li>Our new <strong>update notification</strong> lets you know when there is a new release of WordPress or when any of the plugins you use has an update available. It works by sending your blog URL, plugins, and version information to our new <code>api.wordpress.org</code> service which then compares it to the plugin database and tells you whats the latest and greatest you can use.</li>\n<li>We&#8217;ve cleaned up URLs a bunch in a feature we call <strong>canonical URLs</strong> which does things like enforce your no-www preference, redirect posts with changed slugs so a link never goes bad, redirect URLs that get cut off in emails on similar to the correct post, and much more. This helps your users, and it also <strong>helps your search engine optimization</strong>, as search engines like for each page to be available in one <a href="http://www.answers.com/canonical?cat=technology">canonical</a> location. <a href="http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2007/09/25/wordpress-23-canonical-urls/">More info here</a>.</li>\n<li>Our new <strong>pending review</strong> feature will be great for multi-author blogs. It allows authors to submit a post for review by an editor or administrator, where before they would just have to save a draft and hope someone noticed it.</li>\n<li>There is new <strong>advanced WYSIWYG</strong> functionality (we call it the kitchen sink button) that allows you to access some features of TinyMCE that were previously hidden.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>You&#8217;ll notice that two of those features are straight out of the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/?show=popular">most-voted for ideas list</a>.

Think of tags as micro-categories.</li>\n<li>Nothing has gone away - only been added to your WordPress.com blogs.</li>\n<li>Tags are optional. Put nothing in the box, get no tags on the post.</li>\n<li>The tags will <strike>link to your site</strike> link to WordPress.com blogs with the same &#8220;tag&#8221; and generate a category-style page view of posts with that &#8220;tag&#8221; <strike>on your blog</strike>.</li>\n<li>Tags are not hierarchical like categories. You can&#8217;t have a &#8220;parent&#8221; tag.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Here are some things you might not want to hear:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>According to a few who have first had the tags appear on their blog&#8217;s WordPress Theme on WordPress.com, the tags link to WordPress.com, not your blog. <strong>If you don&#8217;t want tags to send visitors off your blog, like categories in the post meta data section do, then let your voice be heard and tell them.</strong></li>\n<li>There is no global tag list. To change a tag, you have to edit the post(s) with that tag.</li>\n<li>There are no &#8220;easy&#8221; methods of coming up with tag words. No recommendations or tag list to choose from. You make them up as you go.</li>\n<li>The built-in spell check feature for Firefox, and possibly Internet Explorer, do not spell check the tags in the box. Make sure you spell them right the first time!</li>\n<li>WordPress.com users have no control over where the tags appear on their blog, though those with the CSS Extra option have some control over how their tags look.</li>\n<li><strike>While tag links will keep visitors on your blog</strike>, post categories in the meta data section will continue to link to ALL WordPress.com content using those same categories, inviting reader to leave your blog, something I&#8217;ve long opposed. The categories list in your sidebar will link to posts within that category on your blog.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ve already included tags on several posts to test them, but I cannot see them in this WordPress Theme. I&#8217;m still looking for them to appear, but I presume they will be in the post meta data area. Each WordPress Theme on WordPress.com must be modified to include the new tag features, so it may take a while to get around to the Sandbox Theme or your particular Theme.</p>\n<p>For a long time, I&#8217;ve been using a manual <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2005/10/14/a-tagging-bookmarklet-for-wordpress-and-wordpresscom-users/" title="A Tagging Bookmarklet for WordPress and Wordpress.com Users">browser bookmarklet with my site search tags</a>, and I&#8217;m not going to go through and remove them.

If not, I&#8217;m happy with my manual method.</p>\n<p>For those using my <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2005/10/14/a-tagging-bookmarklet-for-wordpress-and-wordpresscom-users/" title="A Tagging Bookmarklet for WordPress and Wordpress.com Users">Tagging Bookmarklet for WordPress and WordPress.com Users</a>, I will be updating that with tips on how to change the site search link to the new tag link, once I get a handle on how the new tags work.</p>\n<h3>Tags for Full Versions of WordPress</h3>\n<p>The new tag feature for full version WordPress users is in the upcoming release of WordPress 2.3, due this weekend.

I&#8217;ve listed some references below to help you understand them better.</p>\n<p>Categories are your blog&#8217;s table of contents. Don&#8217;t remove them, thinking tags are a better option. They aren&#8217;t. Your posts must be categorized. Remove them and they will be categorized as &#8220;uncategorized&#8221;, something you do not want, trust me.</p>\n<p>Tags are like your blog&#8217;s index. They are keywords that represent the micro-categorization of your blog&#8217;s content. To work effectively, they need to be words that people search for, called <em>search terms</em>.</p>\n<p>Categories are automatically marked as tags in WordPress. Theoretically, your blog doesn&#8217;t need tags. But many like the notion of breaking down the words that describe their content beyond categories, and tags offer that ability.</p>\n<p>Here is more information on tags and categories:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/07/03/tags-and-tagging-in-wordpress/" title="Tags and Tagging in Wordpress">Tags and Tagging in Wordpress</a></li>\n<li><a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2005/09/09/categories-versus-tags-whats-the-difference-and-which-one/" title="Categories versus Tags - What’s the Difference and Which One?">Categories versus Tags - What’s the Difference and Which One?</a></li>\n<li><a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2005/09/13/categories-versus-tags-defining-the-limitations/" title="Defining the Limitations">Categories versus Tags: Defining the Limitations</a></li>\n<li><a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2005/12/12/the-problems-with-tags-and-tagging/" title="The Problems With Tags and Tagging">The Problems With Tags and Tagging</a></li>\n<li><a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/01/17/what-do-you-blog-about-check-your-tags/" title="What Do You Blog About?

Well, today they arrived.</p>\n<p><img src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/tagsblankonwritepostpanel.png" alt="Example of new tagging feature on WordPress.com blogs" /></p>\n<p>At the bottom of your Write Post panel&#8217;s editing box, you will see a new form for Tags. The instructions say to list the tag words in the box, separated by commas. This allows you to include keyword tags and phrases such as wordpress tips, wordpress, i like wordpress, etc.</p>\n<p><img src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/tagsonwritepostpanel.png" alt="Example of new tagging feature on WordPress.com blogs using commas to break up phrases" /></p>\n<p>The process, tips, and answers to questions regarding these new tags are found in the <a href="http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/09/21/the-difference-between-tags-and-categories/" title="WordPress.com FAQ - The Difference Between Tags and Categories">WordPress.com FAQ - The Difference Between Tags and Categories</a>, which basically sums up these points:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your categories are fine. Think of tags as micro-categories.</li>\n<li>Nothing has gone away - only been added to your WordPress.com blogs.</li>\n<li>Tags are optional. Put nothing in the box, get no tags on the post.</li>\n<li>The tags will <strike>link to your site</strike> link to WordPress.com blogs with the same &#8220;tag&#8221; and generate a category-style page view of posts with that &#8220;tag&#8221; <strike>on your blog</strike>.</li>\n<li>Tags are not hierarchical like categories. You can&#8217;t have a &#8220;parent&#8221; tag.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Here are some things you might not want to hear:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>According to a few who have first had the tags appear on their blog&#8217;s WordPress Theme on WordPress.com, the tags link to WordPress.com, not your blog. <strong>If you don&#8217;t want tags to send visitors off your blog, like categories in the post meta data section do, then let your voice be heard and tell them.</strong></li>\n<li>There is no global tag list. To change a tag, you have to edit the post(s) with that tag.</li>\n<li>There are no &#8220;easy&#8221; methods of coming up with tag words. No recommendations or tag list to choose from. You make them up as you go.</li>\n<li>The built-in spell check feature for Firefox, and possibly Internet Explorer, do not spell check the tags in the box. Make sure you spell them right the first time!</li>\n<li>WordPress.com users have no control over where the tags appear on their blog, though those with the CSS Extra option have some control over how their tags look.</li>\n<li><strike>While tag links will keep visitors on your blog</strike>, post categories in the meta data section will continue to link to ALL WordPress.com content using those same categories, inviting reader to leave your blog, something I&#8217;ve long opposed. The categories list in your sidebar will link to posts within that category on your blog.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ve already included tags on several posts to test them, but I cannot see them in this WordPress Theme. I&#8217;m still looking for them to appear, but I presume they will be in the post meta data area. Each WordPress Theme on WordPress.com must be modified to include the new tag features, so it may take a while to get around to the Sandbox Theme or your particular Theme.</p>\n<p>For a long time, I&#8217;ve been using a manual <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2005/10/14/a-tagging-bookmarklet-for-wordpress-and-wordpresscom-users/" title="A Tagging Bookmarklet for WordPress and Wordpress.com Users">browser bookmarklet with my site search tags</a>, and I&#8217;m not going to go through and remove them. If I like how these look and work, I&#8217;ll use these new tags. If not, I&#8217;m happy with my manual method.</p>\n<p>For those using my <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2005/10/14/a-tagging-bookmarklet-for-wordpress-and-wordpresscom-users/" title="A Tagging Bookmarklet for WordPress and Wordpress.com Users">Tagging Bookmarklet for WordPress and WordPress.com Users</a>, I will be updating that with tips on how to change the site search link to the new tag link, once I get a handle on how the new tags work.</p>\n<h3>Tags for Full Versions of WordPress</h3>\n<p>The new tag feature for full version WordPress users is in the upcoming release of WordPress 2.3, due this weekend.
