I’ve made massive edits to my blog (as I’m sure many of you have noticed *tongue in cheek*). I added anchor links to my RSS news page which was a huge undertaking as I forked the code and my Plugin Manager vomited and did the wrong thing when it updated the MT-RSS plugin!
I’ve also implemented a cool new hack that allows a live WYSIWYG preview of my blog entries with my stylesheet before I publish them live! Found under Preview over at MT-plugins.org.
Enjoy!
Code hacks are a one time deal, if I make a hack for a chunk of code, and tell people how to do it, when they do it, it isnt a hack.

But you understood what I meant right? That’s all that matters.
And it was called a hack where I found the code so don’t yell at me! Yell at them here: mt-plugins.org/archives/entry/preview.php

You w/ the wrong words again… forked means two specific and distinct things in coding:
1. A fork in software development usually refers to the splitting off of a main family lines, like a fork in the road, into two (or more) specific lines, for instance Apache 1.3x and 2.x are forks of Apache(Forks are not always binary or symetrical).
2. A fork in code, usually refers to in C, or C+, the splitting of a process, creating a new thread ( child process ). This is done to execute some code or function in ‘parallel’ with the main thread. Think of this as spawning employees to do specific tasks of a boss process.
Sorry about the mini-rant, keep seeing people use ‘reserved’ terms, and have to put my foot down eventually. I wont start on your loose use of ‘hack’ ;P.
