1) My blog's theme has smart apostrophes, which unfortunately turn to gobbledy-gook in iTunes. Short term solution? I'm proofreading my posts and avoiding apostrophes. I might find a way to modify the theme later.

2) When upgrading Wordpress, you should turn off your plugins and back up your database first.

3) If you upgrade Wordpress and your categories are screwed up, you're not alone. See http://digital-lifestyles.info/2008/08/06/wordpress-26-upgrade-causes-broken-categories-fix-here/

4) If you don't want your oldest podcasts to disappear from your feed, you should set the Syndication feed posts info (max-request) to 500. In Wordpress, this setting is at http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

5) Favorite plugins? Audioplayer and Feedburner Feedsmith.
