New Improved Bsuite! Or Not…
July 24, 2006 | 6 Comments
Casey released bsuite b2v6 today. This is a fantastic plugin for WordPress which does a lot of heavy lifting and can help to better leverage the long tail of your content. Frankly I wouldn’t run WordPress without it. This bug fix release clears up a lot of little nagging problems, including some substantial performance improvements. Best of all is the “Top Movers” section that will show you stories that are performing better than they usually do. This is an indicator of stories that have somehow become hot.
OK, now for the downside, at least from my perspective… Over the last pile of months running Bsuite I had rolled a few of my own modifications and enhancements. I’ve started rolling these back in, it’s a work in progress. You can grab my slightly modified version with this functionality added back in, I’m affectionately calling it bsuite b2v6z. The ‘z’ on the end indicates you are running my tweaked version. As Casey rolls out new versions I’ll try to stay on top of things and release this derivative work out to the happy masses! With each release, hopefully I can continue to get Casey to roll in some of my changes.
For anyone wondering why I’d bother doing this, well…
1) I’m not the kind of guy who runs anything “baseline”
2) Casey can be slow about new releases so I might as well do it then worry about convincing him later
3) It is GPL’d so I can!
