• Ran up against a bad bug in the WP 2.5 plugin auto-updater. It deleted a plugin, then installed & activated another one I’d never heard of. #
• Comment on “Customizable Comment Listings v2.0″:

  For some mysterious reason the 2.5 plugin auto-updater deleted this plugin for me, then installed and activated a copy of “Hide or Cut Post Text” instead. I had to install CCL 2 by hand.
