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.

Try this one on for size:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>http://www.example.com/index.php/////page/1///////?paged=1</li>\n</ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s the front page.  We have additional issues for other views.  For example, consider if you are using &#8220;fancy&#8221; permalinks and have a post up at http://www.example.com/blog/2007/09/17/dont-tase-me-bro/ with a post ID of 17.  The following alternative URLs will work:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>http://www.example.com/blog/2007/09/17/dont-tase-me-bro</li>\n<li>http://example.com/blog/2007/09/17/dont-tase-me-bro/</li>\n<li>http://example.com/blog/2007/09/17/dont-tase-me-bro</li>\n<li>http://www.example.com/blog/index.php/2007/09/17/dont-tase-me-bro/</li>\n<li>http://www.example.com/blog/index.php/2007/09/17/dont-tase-me-bro</li>\n<li>http://example.com/blog/index.php/2007/09/17/dont-tase-me-bro/</li>\n<li>http://example.com/blog/index.php/2007/09/17/dont-tase-me-bro</li>\n<li>http://www.example.com/blog/?p=17</li>\n<li>http://example.com/blog/?p=17</li>\n<li>http://www.example.com/blog/index.php?p=17</li>\n<li>http://example.com/blog/index.php?p=17</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The following issues comprise the majority of incorrect alternative WordPress URLs.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Old URL structure when using &#8220;fancy&#8221; permalinks</li>\n<li>&lt;www.example.com vs. example.com</li>\n<li>&#8220;Fancy&#8221; permalinks with /index.php/ (called &#8220;PATH_INFO permalinks&#8221;) vs &#8220;fancy&#8221; permalinks without (&#8221;mod_rewrite permalinks&#8221;)</li>\n<li>URLs with trailing slashes vs. URLs without trailing slashes</li>\n<li>/page/1/ (always redundant)</li>\n<li>?paged=4 vs. /page/4/</li>\n</ul>\n<p>So, what&#8217;s the problem with this?  The URLs are all showing the exact same content, so why should it matter?  Well, search engines can&#8217;t assume that all of these alternative URLs represent the same resource.  So they don&#8217;t automatically get condensed into a single resource.  As a result, you can actually end up competing <em>against yourself</em> in search engine rankings.  So to avoid confuse search engines and to consolidate your rankings for your content, there should only be one URL for a resource.  We call this URL the <strong>canonical URL</strong>.  <strong>Canonical</strong> means &#8220;standard&#8221; or &#8220;authoritative.&#8221;  It&#8217;s the one that WordPress generates, and it&#8217;s the one that you want everyone to use.</p>\n<p>Since version 2.2, WordPress-generated rules have been very well standardized.  I personally invested a lot of time making sure things like trailing slashes were consistently standardized.  So that&#8217;s one piece of the puzzle &#8212; making sure that WordPress isn&#8217;t working against you by generating non-canonical URLs.  But of course, you can&#8217;t control who links to you, and third parties can make errors when typing or copy-pasting your URLs.  This canonic
