One of the things Mark Jaquith and I talked about when Mark was on Press This a month back, in the episode aptly titled the Future of WordPress , was that Automattic would be adding a way for people to indicate whether a certain plugin was working for them or not, regardless of what the plugins “Compatible up to” version is. This seems to have gone in beta now on wordpress.org, where you’ll see a block like you see on the right appear next

to plugins. I think this is an awesome addition, as it makes the compatibility data a lot more reliable. Plugin Compatibility data now crowdsourced is a post from Joost de Valk 's Yoast - Tweaking Websites .A good blog needs good hosting, you don’t want your blog to be slow, or, even worse, down, do you?
