The Chrome Extension Supersedes the WordPress Plugin

Several months ago, I an­nounced the ini­tial ver­sion of the Harper WordPress plu­gin. In the in­ter­est of those still us­ing it, I’d like to give y’all an up­date.

The Chrome ex­ten­sion is now the rec­om­mended way to use Harper in WordPress. There are sev­eral com­pound­ing rea­sons for this. Most im­por­tantly, it­er­at­ing on a Chrome ex­ten­sion is sig­nif­i­cantly faster than the re­view process for WordPress.com plu­g­ins. In fact, the cur­rent WordPress.com Harper plu­gin, which you may al­ready be us­ing in your P2s, is cur­rently sev­eral months out-of-date. While you may con­tinue to use the WordPress plu­gin, it will no longer re­ceive reg­u­lar up­dates.

If you choose to switch to the Chrome ex­ten­sion, I think you’ll find the ex­pe­ri­ence more holis­tic, since it is able to per­sist user data across sites.
