WordPress 2.2: Getz Is Good
Written by Zain on May 17th, 2007{ Add Comment }
I’ve just installed WordPress 2.2 aka Getz (after Stan Getz). Basically as a test to see if there’d be any issues with the various WordPress plugins that I’m currently using or looking to use.
And Getz is Good. So far.
Am I running it on this site. Don’t be silly – personally, I like to try things out and make sure they’re okay instead of doing something crazy. The last time I did that, I lost my WordPress Theme. Won’t be making that mistake again!
So, if you head over to my Sandbox area – the test site I created just to check things – you’ll see a couple of posts and plugin tests I’m currently doing with WordPress version 2.2 aka Getz!
Okay, so what’s the upshot of all of this?
Like I say, this is purely a test – it would be really funny if this site starts ranking… 
So far, Ultimate Tag Worrier 
works (bit of an issue with the Tagyu suggestions button at the moment), Adsense Deluxe – no problem. KQF has been installed and works. Another WordPress Meta is good and works. Google Sitemap is peachy. Akismet – the usual… works without fuss.
Video embedding – extremely easy now. Looks like you *can* embed YouTube video into the new version of WordPress 2.2 without that issue which was caused by the TinyMCE editor! Simply hit the “Code” tab and enter the YouTube embed code into the copy. No need to change your user options as recommended by Jack Humphrey in this WordPress tutorial video. It’s simpler now – just paste it into the Code area. I’d recommend you do it at the end of what you’ve written and then save.
One other tip: DO NOT come back to the Write page and use the Visual tab. If you do, then for some reason, the TinyMCE editor messes up the code portion and you’ll need to re-enter the embed code again. You’ve been warned!
I’ve still got a few more things to check out – like FAQ-Tastic and the new Glossary plugin . But apart from that… it all seems good. I’ll let you all know how I get on with the tests. So far everything seems just fine.
I’m just wondering if there’ll ever be a WordPress Gilberto…
