That’s not a bad idea. I’ve done that before. I can certainly see what some of these books are going for.

Amazon .com makes it easy to sell used books and collect payment, and tech books in particular do well. I sold $50 worth this week, just for the small price of wrapping and mailing them.

Comment on Managing Feeds by Andrew Shell

That sounds like a good system. One problem I has was the difficulty in picking appropriate categories. Since I'm a software engineer it seemed like there were a disproportionate amount of feeds in the Programming/Technology category. I'd also have blogs that didn't really fit in a specific category. An example could be Boing Boing since they discuss just about anything.

I have a system that uses some of the same ideas. The blogs in my feed reader are classified by topic, but I don't use that classification to determine what I read every day. For that, I have two other, separate lists.

The first one is for blog where I want to read pretty much every entry and stay up-to-date. If I find that I can't keep up with the reading volume after a while, I'll drop the least interesting blog from that list.

The second list is for blogs that I want to check only from time to time, and where I won't be reading everything or trying to keep up. I try to keep that list reasonably short too, but with less pressure than the previous list.

Finally, I may browse in the other categories for something to read if my first list (“must read”) if empty presently or I want to read something different.

The latest update shouldn't have caused any issues. Honestly it was changing the version number to show it supported 2.9.1 and I updated the screenshot. There was no actual code changes. What other plugins are you using? There could be some sort of incompatibility there that I could investigate. I'll double check my plugin with a stock 2.9.1 install and the default theme to see if there are any issues. You may have come across a bug I wasn't aware of.

Well, I've reached sort of a plateau recently. I need to get back to the gym mostly. I try to eat well, mostly by the guidelines from the South Beach Diet. So I try to avoid bad fats and bad carbs. Things like ordering whole grain instead of white and opting for baked instead of fried.

One thing that had worked for me really well before was eating every three hours. I haven't been doing it lately, but it seemed to help jump start my metabolism before.

Hey Andy-

Great plugin. I've gotten great use out of it so far.

Just a heads up for you ... I got a plugin update alert in my WP admin panel recently and when I tried to update, it through a 500 internal server error on my admin panel update page. I went back to the Plugins main page and the plugin update warning went away. The admin panel and functionality didn't seem to be effected.

However, the update seems to have broken my theme somehow ... the header image in the theme on my blog disappeared entirely.

I'm not 100% sure that the plugin update was the cause but I just wanted to alert you about it.

Currently, I'm running WP 2.9.1 with the Default WP Theme v. 1.5.
