WordPress 2.9, Carmen

A couple of days ago, the guys at Automattic announced the latest release of the mighty blogging platform; WordPress 2.9, Carmen – named after a Jazz vocalist Carmen McRae -. This release comes really with a lot of cool features like the one I really love, Trash. So, instead of the old dialogue, “You are about to delete this post..bla bla bla”, you can now just move it to trash, cause most of time you are really sure that you are deleting a post!

Error Reporting

One of the most amazing features in php is how it shows errors to the developer, you might think of it as a GPS which tells you exactly where you have to go ; Line Number, character and the error itself..CHARM!

Through the whole previous 2 years, I didn’t use error reporting at all, because it was off by default on my localhost – I use Fedora with Apache, php and MySQL installed as my localhost,, I even installed phpMyAdmin . -.

Anyway, today I thought about giving it a try so I had to do it manually so you should do the following:
