There is now an even easier fix than the one that I wrote about before, for the Incoming Links in WordPress. This is a plugin that is supposed to allow you to see the links from Technorati again.
I tested this out, but it didn’t work. I still see the same links as before. I’ve noticed a couple other 2.3 compatible plugins that don’t work with 2.3. At least they don’t appear to work for me. One would be the Recommended Tags.
With the database issues I’ve seen with WordPress because of the upgrade to 2.3, I’m tempted to do a clean install, because it seems as if the upgrade wasn’t very successful.
Anyway, if you want your Incoming Links fixed, download the plugin and hope it works!
Sometime in the near future I will do a clean install of WordPress 2.3.

Just yesterday, I decided to go ahead and upgrade to the newest beta of WordPress 2.3 (beta 3). I made sure to backup everything possible before I did this in case something went wrong. Since you are reading this, nothing went wrong. It was very easy to upgrade. I will continue to keep it up-to-date to keep all bugs out and security in.
What does this upgrade mean for you? Not much really, except that there is one feature that you will start noticing that I added to the recent entries. That is the tags, in case you didn’t notice. Until there is a more automated or better manual way of adding tags to older entries or a plugin that will allow me to edit just the tags for each entry without having to go through every single one by editing and saving, I am not going to add the tags to older entries.
If the people at WordPress don’t include it into WordPress, maybe someone else would be willing to create a plugin to do it? Please! I’m sure it’s something simple that could be put together if you know how to write the code. All it needs is to be a page with a list of every entry (paged of course (possibly using AJAX?)) and next to each one would be a text field to enter/edit the tags. Then, at the bottom of the page a submit button and all entries are edited!
If only I could create my own plugin - it would be my first!
