This week saw the long awaited release of an update to the WP-Footnotes plugin for WordPress. WP-Footnotes is to easily add footnotes or sidenotes or a bibliograpy, etc. to any post using a simple mark-up which degrades (kind of) gracefully in the event that for some horrifying reason this plugin no longer works.
These notes actually cover releases 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 which all happened in quick succession.
What's been fixed
Some invalid mark up was being generated. Hopefully not anymore.
The notorious 'a' bug (I really hope).
What's been improved

This photo was taken last New Year's Eve when we were in London. This year we spent the time at the slightly less glamorous, but no less appealing, venue that is my parents' house.
I'm back to work tomorrow which, despite my best efforts to convince myself otherwise, totally sucks. I've spent the day trying to clean out the office at home. I've done a fair but, but it's not even close to enough. Finishing this seemingly simple task is my mission for the coming week. But I'm going to take it further than just cleaning and tidying. Once I'm ... more
