So I finally installed WordPress 2.6, though 2.6.1 is already in BETA 2. I admit I am usually behind the curve on upgrading. However, there are a couple of exciting updates that come with 2.6. Post Revision - Wiki like tracking of edits while you are creating a post, complete...

New tutorial for C# about using XML data in a DataSet object for manipulating the data like it came from a database. See the Software Development section, or go straight to it here. Cheers, and happy coding! Sadly the links above are lost in the annals of time
