The Flickr thing is getting her some attention.

She had a shot of the Paparrazzi shooting her, kind of funny.

Apparently her site is down right now — replaced with a WordPress Error message!

Was just telling the wife about Rosie’s blog. (“Remember the guy we ran into at Katz’s? Matt?”) Anyhow, she had just looked at Rosie’s blog yesterday or the day before. Apparently Rosie had some posts about American Idol (hence my wife’s interest). Weird…

Rosie 2.0

On her new WordPress blog, simply titled “r blog”, Rosie O’Donnell blogs – e e cummings-style – in lower-case verse as oppossed to prose. Her previous blogspot blog, formerlyrosie, contained the same content and garnered quite a bit of attention. …

Rosie had been blogging on blogspot, but got really frustrated with troll comments, and had to eventually turn commenting off completely. She’s obviously much happier with WordPress and the ability it gives her to have more control of not just comments but every aspect of the site. The Flickr thing, well that’s just cool. She’s a moblogging maniac — and she only started a few days ago. Dunno how she scored the “rosie” username.

Wow, that is neat!

I feel like I just stumbled into an alternate universe where celebrities are using software I helped write.

I think you did!

I recently discovered that Kevin Smith (Silent Bob?) also uses WordPress for his online diary: http://newsaskew.com/blog/

She’s likely had her Flickr account for a while now, if she managed to snag the handle “rosie.”

That’s one busy little WP site she’s running! These fame announcements are getting pretty common now… I think you need a new weblog just to handle it! Blogs Of The Day (still in development) is coming along nicely thanks to your help and it will be a nice indicator of the most popular among botd-enabled WP sites.

I can’t get to anything other than her Blogger blog through the link you posted, Matt. Maybe it’s temporarily down or something?

Wow. I don’t think I could sleep at night, Matt.

She was using Blogger. The old blog, called formerlyrosie, is at:

I could be wrong, but I could swear she was using Blogger at one point. The switch to WP must have been fairly recent.

*laughs*

You just found that? She’s probably the most famous blogger in terms of non-internet fame. Didn’t know it was wordpress tho…

Imagine her and Madonna sitting around their kids talking about blogs and wordpress.

That is pretty crazy.
