Note: Cross-posted at Scriblio.

Yes, I know, I promised it ten days and a whole release ago, but you can stop holding your breath. I present the new* Scriblio for WordPress 2.3.1 installation instructions:

1. Be sure your Apache installation has mod_rewrite enabled.
2. Download and install WordPress 2.3.1
3. Set your permalinks. Do this through Options -> Permalinks; personally, I like Numeric. When you save, pay attention to the prompt regarding the .htaccess file – if it says that you must update it yourself, do so! (this may mean you have to create it.) If it says it’s been updated, you’re good.
4. Be sure your wp-content folder is web-writable.
5. It’ll be easier for you to switch to the Classic Theme instead of the Default theme.
6. Download bsuite_core and place it in your wp-content/plugins/ folder. Then enable it in your blog’s dashboard -> Plugins.
7. Download the Scriblio plugin. I recommend getting the files from the svn depository, either by installing Subversion or by copying all the files in the trunk into a scriblio folder in your plugins folder. If you go this route, be sure to get them all including the import directory and all its contents.
8. Activate the Scriblio plugin and the Scriblio Catalog Importer. And the Scriblio III Catalog Importer, if you choose. I’m going to continue these instructions with the Scriblio Catalog Importer alone.
9. Time to import some records. Choose the Scriblio Catalog Importer in Manage -> Import. And follow the instructions. [If you don't have any on hand, you can try it with mine.]
10. If the records import and harvest with no problems, go to Presentation -> Widgets.
11. This is all customizable, but for demonstration, scroll to the very bottom and choose five or so Scriblio facets.
12. Drag the Search, Scrib Search Editor, Scrib Scope Selector, Scrib Spelling, and a few Scrib Facets into the sidebar.
11. Fill in the text boxes of the Search Editor, Scrib Spelling, and Scope Selector. You can see what facets are available to you in the Options -> Scriblio screen. Try auth in one, subj in one, format in another. Save.
12. Go to Options->Scriblio and Rebuild Spelling Table.
12. Save these and try some searches – you should see metadata in the sidebar.
13. Now play around with themes and widgets to customize.
