News: WordPress 2.2.1 is a security fix WordPress 2.2.1 is a bug fix release for the 2.2 series. Since 2.2 was released a month ago, the WordPress community has been improving fit-and-finish by identifying and fixing those little bugs that can be so annoying and by fine-tuning some small details. The result is a nicely polished 2.2.1 release. Here are some highlights.
Unfortunately, 2.2.1 is not just a bug fix release. Some security issues came to light during 2.2.1 development, making 2.2.1 a required upgrade. 2.2.1 addresses the following vulnerabilities:

Plug-in: Spell WordPress is for those who are fastidious about making sure the trademark name is always spelled correctly. (This plugin is based on a rant from my personal blog. |
| 25:42 |
Plug-in: SEO WordPress reduces duplicate content on your blog. The plugin essentially ‘herds’ googlebot and other spiders to the content you want indexed. The result? A much more search engine friendly blog and better indexing. |

Plug-in: AJAX Edit Comments 1.1 allows admin and users to edit comments from a post. Users see a countdown timer when editing a comment. Admin can now also edit, delete, and mark as spam from a post without having to go to the admin panel. In other words, any user that leaves a comment on your blog can edit their comments. |

Plug-in: Feed Count provides an alternative to FeedBurner’s subscribers count chicklet. Users can customize the CSS style, refresh time, and link. Feed Count also uses before and after tags and integrates with the WordPress admin panel. |

Plug-in: Feed Master is a beta-release plugin that allows blog owners to count the number of subscribers to their blog’s feed. Feed Master offers greater personalization of your feed, improved plugin interface, more specific statistics, ability to create feed networks, information about subscribers, and automatically creates a robot.txt file. |

Newb here - With Google now making Feedburner’s ‘Stats PRO’ and ‘MyBrand’ services free, do any of the Feed-related WP Plug-ins become more/less useful or relevant?
Hey now… thanks to Aaron, I have been able to svn the Bloggy Network stuff… now if only my own blogs were set up in the same way. I only sighed so much before because updating 20+ blogs by ftp and doing it the safest/right way is very time consuming. I love seeing them fix WordPress and continue to evolve the platform. I just hate upgrading the dang thing. When they get some form of easier upgrade system going on… I will be out of reasons to sigh.
Just wanted to stop by and say you guys are doing a great job with this podcast. Thank god you guys found me a plugin which allows my readers to edit their comments pretty much in the same fashion as Digg.com I’ve been looking for a plugin like this for quite some time, so thanks. Looking forward to hear what happened at WordCamp. Being a resident of Ohio, I really can’t enjoy the liberties of living in San Francisco. Sure I could buy a plane ticket, but I would need to request off work and all of that crap. I can’t afford it.
At any rate keep up the great work. Love the intro music and keep the shows overflowing with content!
P.S. The show you did with the lawyer in discussing IP and creative commons issues was extremely interesting. Can’t wait to hear part two.
