To update my (very few) regular readers who actually traverse my website and don’t read these words in an RSS feed, email subscription or Facebook note, I have managed to fix the Articles page on my site. As you may recall, back over Christmas break I upgraded to WordPress 2.3.2 and ended up breaking a handful of my plugins. The Articles plugin by Alex King was one of them.

Two folks in the WP community helped me get this fixed. Andy Cowl first posted this fix on the WP support forum.
