XML Parsing Error in WordPress

I have posted about this problem before, however, since the WordPress Automatic Plugin Updates (WPAU) have been working there is a new culprit for this bug.

WordPress 2.5 Upgrade

I just ran the my first set of WordPress 2.5 upgrades. The first upgrade was to a very small blog with only 2 plugins, the second was to a larger blog that had several plugins installed.

New WordPress Theme from CyberCoder

As usual I have to do things a little different. I have been wanting to create some WordPress themes but I just keep putting it off. The more I read about SEO and WordPress the more frustrated I get. What I believe about SEO is very similar to what Shoemoney posted here. To me SEO [...]

WordPress Excerpt Plugin

I created this little plugin for my own use, and after reading today’s post over at HackWordPress.com it reminded me that Garry Conn had asked me if I was going to publish it, so here it is. I like to use the the_excerpt() instead of the_content() in several places on a blog. However, I did [...]

WordPress Duplicate Content

One of the problems with WordPress is that it creates a lot of duplicate content, and there have been a lot of conversations on whether search engines, especially Google penalize you for duplicate content.
