Twitter Tools for Wordpress 2.3

Another victim of the change to the WordPress database taxonomy is the rather good Twitter Tools plugin by Alex King that integrates your tweets with your blog and tweets when you post to the blog. Unfortunately it doesn’t work with the DB changes introduced in WordPress 2.3, but never one to be put off that easily I’ve modified the the code to suit the new structure. You can see it in action in my sidebar. Download the code hereUpdate: Looks like Alex has fixed the bug in the main version, check out his site.

Signing up for Google Apps

So you’ve decided its a good idea to let Google manage the email for your domain? You’ll find after sign up that you have to prove you own your domain. The easiest way to verify your ownership of the domains is to upload a page called googlehostedservice.html to the root of your domain. Unfortunately, the Google help page isn’t to helpful on the format, so here’s an example:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>googlehostedservice</title>
</head>
<body>
googlexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
</body>
</html>

Replace the line starting googlexxx etc. with the one they supply you during the setup process, upload the page to the root of your domain, your sorted. You can then go back to the setup page, click verify and the process should complete in less than 48 hours.
