Hi everyone,
I want to apologize for the delays in releasing updates to some of my plugins, like aLinks, Live, and Edit N Place. I know there are many of you out there in the blogosphere that depend on them, and need some bugs fixed, and features added.

Keeping the plugins up to date, and dealing with user support can be pretty overwhelming, and I fell behind quite a bit. To keep things under control, I’m going to discontinue work on some of my fringe plugins. I’ll no longer be maintaining Flickr Spinnr, NET Bible, WP Anti-Wares and Post Tools. I’m also going to stop development on DiggApiNet. They should be thought of as abandonware from this point forward. If someone else wants to continue developing them, but all means have fun.

aLinks
I am actively developing the next version of aLinks. In fact the Subversion repo is at http://www.headzoo.com/subversion/alinks/branches/2.0/ (Note: It’s not working yet).

I’m stripping it down a bit, and some of the features of the past — such as click statistics — won’t be included in the next version, but they can be added with additional plugins that will be released in the future.

Version 2.0 is also being designed to work with just about any CMS. Meaning it’ll work with WordPress, Drupal, TypePad, Joomla, IP Board, etc.

Edit N Place
Version 0.8 is just on the horizon. In fact I’ve already been using it myself, but haven’t released it yet because it needs a little more spit and polish.

This version will work with WordPress 2.3 and greater, and support the new tagging features.

Additionally the new version will have the same WYSIWYG editor found in the WordPress admin area.

Live
I released the new version (v0.5) of Live today. It fixes some bugs found in the last version, and adds some often requested features. The most requested feature has been being able to ignore your own traffic to your site. That has been added. Also with version only admins can view the Live menu.

Support
Keep your eyes open for new forums. Trying to get support via the page comments really doesn’t work that well. Right now I’m just trying to decide which forum software to use.
