Thanx so much this is awesome and very simple.
I write tutorials directly in the wordpress editor so I edit a post a lot of times. I always end up with 20 or 30 revisions.
I tried doing that. But it does not work for me!! My blog keeps on saving revisions. Was that supposed to be done before installing?? I am using a multisite installation. Will that affect anything?
I wonder how do we delete old revisions from database?
