 * Can anybody tell me what is wrong with the following line:
    $tagData = implode(“,”,
   $wpdb->get_col(“SELECT `meta_value` FROM $wpdb->posts LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta
   ON $wpdb->posts.ID=$wpdb->postmeta.post_id WHERE (`meta_key`=’ttaglist’ OR `meta_key`
   =’technorati’) AND `post_status`=’publish’$where ORDER BY `post_date` DESC$limit”));
 * I get the following error in my sidebar at this line:
    Warning: implode() [function.
   implode]: Bad arguments. in /home/golddave/public_html/palm/wp-content/plugins/
   technoratitagging.php on line 285
 * This error was introduced upon upgrading from WordPress 2.0.5 to 2.0.6.
 * Any thoughts?

 * Any takers? This is for an old technorati tagging plugin that I prefer over Ultimate
   Tag Warrior because I’m more comfortable with it. (UTW is a great plugin, by 
   the way.) anyway, I’d really like to get it working again so I don’t have to 
   convert all my blogs to a new tagging system. For some reason 2.0.6 throws an
   error on this implode function call where 2.0.5 did not. It doesn’t make any 
   sense to me since implode is a PHP function and not a WordPress function.

 * I feel like an idiot. I did a little more research and found that there are smartquotes
   used when creating the variable $where that is used in the query. When I replaced
   the smartquotes with standard quotes the query worked!
