get_posts(), a key ingredient for creating multiple loops in WordPress, appears to be broken after on the 2.6 release. Here’s a forum post seeking for help. I first came into this problem from Dan Philibin‘s tweet regarding problem with WPCandy.
This problem would affect many sites, I would imagine, especially those with more complex ways to display its content. I suppose a quick fix is in the way soon.
A tutorial on adding description to your WordPress 3.0 menu links. Might be a nice update for Pico.
Have your own short domain name for the purpose of shortlinking? Here’s an easy way to combine that with your WordPress install.
GWT is a great, frequently updated features like showing you search queries volume, malware and crawl error diagnostics and links to your site. If you don’t use it yet, you probably need to. This will help you get started.
I would recommend this either if you want more flexibility or to learn how to code a contact form.
This attack is very interesting because it is not visible to the normal user and the spam (generally about Viagra, Nexium, Cialis, etc) only shows up if the user agent is from Google’s crawler (googlebot). Also, the infection is a bit tricky to remove and if not done properly will keep reappearing.

There is a behaviour chaneg in get_posts() but not sure if its intended! It grabs ALL posts now and you have to manually work out if the post is one you want. I set up a sidebar to display posts in the category of teh page you are on using the following code, however it isn’t quite perfect because on Index and Category pages it still reads all posts in the database and uses the latest one as teh default. But it works on articles:
$found = 0;
$count = 0;
$ID = $wp_query->posts[0]->ID;
$category = get_the_category($ID);
$cat = $category[0]->cat_ID;
$catposts = get_posts(‘numberposts=999999&category=$cat’);
foreach($catposts as $post) :
$thisID = the_ID();
$postID = $wp_query->$thisID;
$postCategory = get_the_category($postID);
$postCat = $postCategory[0]->cat_ID;
if ($postCat == $cat && $count
