Whoa, what's up with the new permissions? Reading and changing data for a wp site? Say what now? Sorry, but that's a loser.

I loved this extension because it kept me updated on the COS. However the comments are screened because of spam listings and my legitimate comments are not appearing. Please do not censor legitimate comments!
