New Update for the Web Ninja Auto Tagging System
Just giving everyone a heads up that version 1.0.2 of the Web Ninja Auto Tagging System will be up soon for download. This update fixes a problem that some people were getting the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in .../wp-content/plugins/web-ninja-auto-tagging-system/webninja_ats.php(385) : eval()'d code on line 1
This would happen when the Yahoo Term Extraction YQL would not return any tags. There is now a check in the plugin to see if it returned tags before it tries to process them.
WordPress 3.0.3 udpate! And a Google Pagerank API?!?
Looks like WordPress is getting a little update happy again. Last time this happened they updated every 3 days for like 2 weeks… At least this time the updates are only 7 days apart. :/ Anyways, both my released plugins have no problem with the new update and are working just fine.
Now on to the good stuff! A nice fairy tale.
Once upon a time, in a land not very far away, Google had a PageRank API where you could query their system for a website’s Google PageRank. Well, for reasons I’m not going to go into details with, they removed that API. This left a lot of people sad and not knowing what to do.

My name is Josh Fowler. Actually, that’s Josh “Uber” Fowler to some. :) I have been a Web Developer for well over 10 years now. And in those 10 years I can say that I may have learned a thing or twelve. I have decided that it was about time to start sharing some of the things that I have learned and a few of the things that I have made. Hopefully they will all show up here in my personal sandbox and I hope you enjoy them all!
