The WordPress e-Commerce Plugin

While coming up with extreme content every week is a brain squeeze, I sometimes take the easy way out and start looking for content to scrape ………. err use via the tech-sites for WordPress on the Internet. I thought I would check into the WordPress Codex which is a bloggers worst friend ………. Man, are we talking hard to get along with or what?

Of all the resources on the web for blogging I find that WordPress is by far the best platform (preaching to the choir, I know!) and that the Codex is by far the worst support forum out there. I have never been able to pull myself out of the ditch at anytime with anything offered on the Codex. However, I have found benefit in the links at the Codex and thought I would pass along one of those links in this weeks post. It’s the WordPress e-Commerce Plug-in which just released it’s latest version ( 3.7.5 ) this week.

The e-Commerce Plug-in is a platform with a focus on ease of use and adhering to web standards which I guess is an SEO angle. While I have had little experience with this plug-in, I am going to give it a try on one of my blogs and will report back here in the near future. If this plug-in enhances your revenue, than I guess that is about as extreme as you can get!

How about that new WordPress Update (2.8.6)? Mainly a security update dealing with sanitizing uploaded file names that are sometimes exploited in certain Apache configurations and an XSS vulnerability in “Press This” ………. Man, I don’t even want to go there!
