Since the launch of this plugin, several people have reported that autogrow wasn’t working properly in IE. After trying to fix the JS, I’ve came across a better jQuery plugin: Growfield.
This plugin ensures that a user will not see the same post twice.
It does this by keeping a list of single posts that the user has seen and then checking that list when redirecting.
If you’ve ever used categories extensively, you will have noticed that after you save a post, the checked categories appear on top of all the other ones, breaking the hierarchy.
Previous versions of this plugin relied on two rather fragile features:
For retrieving the items from DeviantArt, it used Yahoo Pipes. This service severly restricted usage recently, which resulted in no thumbs being shown.
In PHP, you use the self keyword to access static properties and methods.
The problem is that you can replace $this->method() with self::method() anywhere, regardless if method() is declared static or not. So which one should you use?
Having a plugin with even 1000 downloads means that sooner or later people are going to come asking for help or giving suggestions. Over the last few months, I have come to realise that the comment section just doesn’t cut it.
Here are the changes from the earlier version of the plugin.
This little plugin still hasn’t lost it’s usefulness.
So I’m making it to work with the next release of WordPress (2.9) and onwards.
This also means that it won’t work with older versions. See why.

It adds support for range queries.
