Now, csc is powered by WordPress 2.5. This is not just a minor upgrade to patch some security holes, this is major. In order to help out, here is a list of plugins I have found to be compatible with 2.5 right out of the box…
- Admin Menu v. 4.0
Advanced TinyMCE Editor v. 0.5.0
CapCC v. 1.0
Comment Sorter v. 1.1
Favicon Manager v. 0.1
Flickr Photo Gallery v. 0.94
Google Analytics v. 0.68
Multi-Topic Icon v. 1.5
New User Email Set Up v. 0.2.5

Some needed to be upgraded or had a line or two of code added…
- Akismet v. 2.1.4 “Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. You need a WordPress.com API key to use it. You can review the spam it catches under “Comments.” To show off your Akismet stats just put <?php akismet_counter(); ?> in your template. See also: WP Stats plugin. By Matt Mullenweg.” This upgrade came with the WordPress 2.5 distro.
LiveJournal Crossposter v. 2.0 “Automatically copies all posts to a LiveJournal or other LiveJournal-based blog. Editing or deleting a post will be replicated as well. This plugin was inspired by Scott Buchanan’s Xanga Crossposter By Evan Broder.” This needed a couple of lines of code replaced. We’ll see if the crosspost works from here.
Now Reading v. 4.4.2 “Allows you to display the books you’re reading, have read recently and plan to read, with cover art fetched automatically from Amazon. By Rob Miller.” Upgrade from the author’s site.
Subscribe2 v. 4.5 “Notifies an email list when new entries are posted. By Matthew Robinson.” Also Subscribe2 Debug 1.0 and the Subscribe2 Uninstaller 1.0. Auto upgrade from package available at WordPress.org.
TinyMCEComments v. 0.4.3-1 “A simple hack to enable WYSIWYG editor TinyMCE on the comment field. By Thomas Au(MK).” This kinda sorta works. It works great on my test blog on my Mac under MAMP, online, it is invisible. I am going to see if I have any conflicts in the wp-content folder in my installation online. Upgraded this to version 0.4.3-2 and it worked, I have since added Ajaxed WordPress and that works great now. - WordPress Gravatars v. 2.6.5.1 “Makes use of Gravatars and MyBlogLog Avatars, places Gravatars or MyBlogLog Avatars in the comments section. Uses the comment authors email to display their Gravatar. It also gives the user an Author Profile picture, based on his or hers Gravatar. Change your options here. As of version 2.2 there is also a widget for Recent Comments with Gravatars. By Rune Gulbrandsøy.” Upgraded from site.
WP-SpamFree v. 1.5.9 “A powerful anti-spam plugin that virtually eliminates automated comment spam from bots. Finally, you can enjoy a spam-free WordPress blog! By Scott Allen, aka WebGeek.” Auto upgrade from package available at WordPress.org.
Only one totally broke. That was Now Watching. It’s based on Now Reading which was recently fixed by it’s author. Now Watching isn’t anymore, it looks abandoned by it’s author. If anyone knows of any plugins for displaying a person’s movie list, (not NetFlix) let me know.
So what does this all do for you, the reader? Speed enhancements, better performance, heightened security, better SPAM filtering. It’s all good.
