This post is about a plugin of wordpress, which is the best blogging system of the world. And I have composed a static page for this plugin: http://www.imluke.net/ideas/mlpost.htm. That should be where you find the usage/download/install instruction of my plugin.
And in this post, I just want to have a brief explanation of the making of this plugin. If you are still interested, read on please.

A post from WordPress author Matt Mullenweg about DB structure for the new feature – tag – in the wp release 2.2 which was planed to release next Monday.
Hopefully they can fix it down this week and get the pretty lovely tag out of the trunk soon. I really love it. An official implementation should, if they release it by vast discussion and wide test, be stable and cheap.

There are a on-going talk in wp-hacker list about the DB structure of tags in the coming wp release 2.2. I don’t care about how they implement the tags future – I just need it! Bring’em to me ASAP! But if you want me to vote, +1 for separate tables. Tags should be like meta data of objects, and category is more like a folder. They are different, essentially.
Another thing is the template changed to K2 – Kubrick 2. Rich AJAX usage and flexible presentation control is attractive to me. New works should start from now to sketch a new style. Yesterday after installation of this template I added a separator image for each post and it looks much better now. Keep messing’em up and add my lovely pig head on the top at last!
It’s wise not to upgrade to 2.1.1 so hurry. V2.1.1 was hacked by a “cracker”.
Now, it time to upgrade. The file has been released for just a few hours and I think the cracker hasn’t managed to crack it.
1. I tried to upgrade WP from 2.0 to 2.1. Failed. Mostly because of character encoding. I used the backup plug-in provided by WP 2.0 to backup DB, then import it into MySQL installed in my computer. But Chinese characters became into ‘?’ after that even if i use charset=utf-8 to creat the tables. Strange. Upgrading to WP2.1 would be easier, but i won’t try unless character encoding problem is fixed.
2. URL rewrite. I thought it wouldn’t work with M$ OS and apache combination. After i searched a lot in WP documentation forum, i found that it was because of access rules.
AllowOverride All
That code fixed the rewrite problem. Nothing to do with OS. Now my url is /%post_id%_%postname%/.Really nice.
Here is the .htaccess role in my web folder(Of course, in my computer, not here in this server. Do not think too much. It’s different here.):
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /incubation/Impossible/blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /incubation/Impossible/blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
