The popular posts plugin was broken, but it’s fixed now. Update your template so it looks like this if you want to use it:

{popularposts}
{if $pposts != ''}
<br />Most Popular Posts<br /><br />
{foreach from=$pposts key=key item=details}
<nobr><a href="{$details.url}" title='{$details.title}'>{$details.title|truncate:30:"..."}</a>: {$key}</nobr><br />
{/foreach}
{/if}

If you’ve wondered why your RSS feed here doesn’t have any feeds, that’s because WordPress by default displays only summaries.
To show the full text and mark-up of your posts, go into Options->Reading and click “full text” for the option, “For each article, show:”

God damn bookmarklet, kills my browser (Mozilla Firefox 1.0 preview) more often than not. *grrr*

It didn’t take long for the comment spammers to figure out we’re running WordPress here. I got a dozen requests to moderate comments this morning. Mark did too, but he had turned off the notification in WP so there may be a bug there somewhere. Expect test comments to appear and disappear on this post over the next hour or so!
Later… Fixed it. There’s no check for the “moderation_notify” flag . Here’s how to patch your own WordPress system:

Edit wp-includes/functions.php and add the following lines to the function wp_notify_moderator():

if( get_settings( "moderation_notify" ) == 0 )
    return true;
