I have been using a plugin called Now Reading. It keeps track of the books a read and displays them on the blog site in a sidebar. It also helps me keep track of what I am reading and write some reviews. It also maintains a library for me.
The Rob Miller who originally developed the plugin stopped at around WordPress version 2.7 and subsequently it stopped working. He is appearently too busy to keep on with the development and changes t0 WordPress. I would have liked to update the plug-in myself. However when I look at code I don’t see poetry its more like random swirls.
Anyway as is the world of Word Press someone else has taken up the baton and is now running with it. Now I can again add books and they display nicely on my site. Thanks to Ben Gunnink for Now Reading Reloaded. The really amazing thing for me was I downloaded Now Reading Reloaded , deactivated the old one activated the new one and voila all my data was there .
Three Cheers for open source. This I guess would never have happened if this was a commercial plugin.
