Exhibit and WordPress 2.1
So, I’m a little slow in upgrading my WordPress build - primarily because I still use a great little plugin called Exhibit, which was created by Owen Winkler what seems like a thousand years ago. Now there may be many better options out there that I haven’t explored, but I like Exhibit because it’s a simple, no-nonsense image plugin. Also, heaps of my previous posts use it, so to maintain reverse compatibility I had a little hack today and have worked out how to get it and WordPress 2.1 enjoying each other’s company!! Yay
Since 1.5, getting it to work has been a big hassle, and consequently im still running 1.5.2… but not for long. Hopefully by next weekend I will have had enough spare time to back up the current data and migrate all the goodness over to the spiffy new build of WP. And a new theme may follow… i’ll keep you posted. Until then, revel in my web 1.5.2 ness.
EDIT : You can now download my hacked version of Exhibit for WordPress 2.1 : here - exhibit_for_wp2.1.rar. Happy posting.

It’s alive!
We are now running WordPress 2.1… only a few minor things to sort out - like my links to the right of screen (get_links is no longer the thing to use aparently). But hooray for us!!

Nice one! A little while ago someone posted a comment on my blog in response to my thoughts on dual screen development - that comment I think is fitting for this thread too….
Welcome… to the real world.

I just released Exhibit to WP Gallery - a plugin to migrate your old Exhibit-entries to ordinary WordPress attachments.
In effect, converting all those Exhibit galleries to modern built-in WordPress galleries (using the [gallery]-shortcode).
I hope it can help those poor schmucks that are still stuck with legacy Exhibit-galleries.
