I’ve updated the site to the latest release of WordPress. 2.8.1 fixes many bug found in 2.8 and I finally was ready for the update. While everything went smoothly, I did have to update my theme a bit to run some of the additional widget area.
Using the old style dynamic_sidebar( 'Utility: Header' ); didn’t work any more, while just replacing the Title of the widget area with the ID fixed this problem: dynamic_sidebar( 'utilityheader' );.
I also came across a major error with one of my plugins. AsideShop just doesn’t work with and version WordPress

On this site I use the Comment Validation plugin from Jörn Zaefferer.
You can find out more about this plugin at the WordPress directory.
This plugin is an amazing plugin, but the new version breaks W3C validation. Mostly due to typo’s and small oversights. Lets take a looks at the original comment-validation.php file in version 0.3.

Plugin Review: WP Greet Box
Yesterday I found and downloaded the WP Greet Box plugin from Omni Noggin. This plugin could be a very useful tool and keeping visitors from various sites, asking them to subscribe to your RSS feed.
A great feature of this plugin is the ability to allow or disallow a user to remove the banner if they so choose to. Another great example is the different icons and text that show up from where the user come from. For example if this post was to get tweeted by yourself or
