In reply to: XML instead of MySQL?Skippy has already mentioned this but it’s probably worth repeating; flash media have a finite number of erase-write cycles.
Hence, their application in a server situation should be carefully assessed and reliable backups retained. In addition, the more you can reduce write operations, the better.

In reply to: [New Plugin] Edit commentsThanks again Andrew for this plugin; very useful!
“Do you think it could be cookie based? Or at least have the option or something else besides IP based?”
Is there any reason why IP checking shouldn’t be used? As the editable phase is transient in nature, IP checking would appear to be the best approach as a commentor is unlikely to be using a different IP address within the 30 minute threshold.

In reply to: Code help – excerpts on front pageThe Connections theme author has done things a little bit differently; If you look inside the theme directory, you should see a file called post.php. You can then edit this as you see fit.

In reply to: what is the best rss reader for desktop?For me the choices are pretty clear. On the PC, Feeddemon. On a Mac, NetNewsWire.
Both, however, are commercial products but are well worth paying for IMO.

In reply to: RSS doesn’t updateLooking at your site, the RSS feed appears to be perfectly up to date. Bear in mind that:
a) feed aggregators generally update on a periodic basis to avoid hammering the server. It just may be the feed reader you’re using hasn’t gotten around to checking the latest feed.b) If you’re viewing the feed (for debug reasons) via your browser, be sure to do a force refresh (CTRL F5) to update the cache.

In reply to: A Call for CriticismNice job with the design especially with the lovely colour scheme and layout.
The only thing is it probably looks a little bit too plain/flat. However, that said, the minimalist styling has a charm of it’s own. Well done!

In reply to: Good UK WP Host?“At one point in time conventional wisdom was, generally, the closer you are to the site, the faster it will be.”
In the main, the transatlantic latency is negligable. There are other factors which are of more importance with regards to visitor experiance such as server load, server hardware, server configuration i.e. web servers, load balancers.
“It’s worth bearing in mind that the physical location of your site’s server can influence search engine results for your site – MSN increasingly so, and if a site is hosted in the US a Google search for UK-only pages probably won’t list the site.”
The TLD, i.e. the .co.uk suffix, has considerably more weight. My site is hosted by DH, yet features well in the Google searches for UK only pages. Likewise, the same occurs with Podz site which is a org.uk domain.

In reply to: Pages and CommentsIt’s probably because the theme that you are using doesn’t have the comment_template call in it’s page.php file.
To confirm this is the case is simple; just switch to the default theme and if comment related info appears, then you’ll need to add similar logic to the theme that you want.

In reply to: Good UK WP Host?It appears that Dreamhost can’t actually sell or host co.uk, but all you need to do is get your domain redirected to them and that’s sorted.
That’s not quite correct. DH host co.uk domains just fine; I’m using DH and as you can see, I’ve also got a co.uk domain.
There’s also no need for redirect or forwarding; they host it the same way they host .com domains.
You can’t register .co.uk domains via DH but it’s no big deal to use a dedicated domain registration company.

In reply to: RSS Feed – Exclude Some CategoriesApologies, just read your post a bit more carefully and realised that you want to do this via plugin hooks and without hacking the code.
I’ll leave my above post up for reference but someone else will have to chime in to answer your specific request.
