I thought I’d share a bit of code that I run on my local WordPress test install to see when WordPress is contacting another website. I originally wrote this to help debug my oEmbed code, but it’s useful for a wide variety of purposes.

function debug_http_api( More >

I threw together a widget for my blog that displays the short URL to a post or page and since multiple expressed interest in using it on their own site, I’ve decided to release it. My YOURLS: Short URL Widget plugin will add a widget (Appearance -> Widgets) that will only show up on individual More >

WordPress 2.9-beta-1 is available! Get it here: zip, tar.gz. Start hammering away.
You can also just install the super handy WordPress Beta Tester plugin to make the one-click upgrade feature upgrade you to WordPress 2.9 Beta 1.
