Yesterday, on Sunday, October 26th, 2008, DST (= Daylight Saving Time) has ended in some countries. Since WordPress still doesn’t adjust DST automatically, you should set the UTC offset back one hour within your WP settings page – or you try Kimmo Suominen’s WordPress plugin TimeZone.
[Update from 2008-11-10]
You can also use Otto’s WordPress plugin Automatic Timezone – but note that you should have PHP5 installed for that one.

“Twitter Updater” by Ingo “Ingoal” Hildebrandt is a nice WordPress plugin that sends an update to your Twitter account (a so-called “Tweet”) whenever a post is published and/or edited.
Unfortunately, some things still don’t seem to work:
- Tweets are also send even if you only save a draft (due to the “save_post” hook).
- Scheduled (future) posts do not “fire” a tweet… instead, nothing happens.
- If I remember correctly, there were problems with slashes in the post title.

If you ever happen to have a blank WordPress dashboard, take a look inside your wp-content/plugins/ directory and see if you can find an “index.php”. If so, just rename it to “index.html” – now you should see your dashboard again. It’s magic!
Thanks to whooami for the tip in the WordPress support forum.
Well, come on: how are we supposed to find THAT out by ourselves?

Today, I noticed a javascript error shown by Firebug while surfing my own (WordPress) blog. Firebug always reported a “Components is not defined” for
this.xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
in wp-includes/js/tw-sack.js.
It turns out that tw-sack.js was not the only file affected – also post.php and wp-gears.js showed this error.

BEFORE YOU READ ANY FURTHER – HERE IS A PLUGIN!
Download my (first!) plugin WP Protect Author Email
(tested with WP 2.6.2 up to 2.7.1).
It actually uses the “preprocess_comment” filter of WordPress to check the commenters eMail – thus making it unnecessary to change any core files (like explained below)!
All you have to do is unzip the file, open it with a text editor, look for “$wp_pae_email” and put in the address that should be protected. Then save and upload this file to your wp-content/plugins/ directory, activate it via the admin panel – and see if it is working. Any feedback is welcome!

What about giving back some LUV to your blog readers who help you make it more interesting by leaving a comment?
That seems to have been exactly in Andy’s mind when he created this nice WordPress plugin.

After I last saw R.E.M. play the TUI Arena here in Hannover in 2005, I was lucky to see them twice this year on their current 2008 “Accelerate” tour: at the Waldbühne in Berlin (July 16th) and 3 days ago in the Color Line Arena in Hamburg (September 18th).
