Anne van Kesteren: Unicode support in WordPress —
“As you can see in my previous post WordPress handles all kind or characters flawlessly.”

Flames
You would expect much more from otherwise intelligent and rational people. I agree with Nick, “I’m not sure what the point of all of this is.” I’m glad none of the people actually writing software get caught up in this because then they wouldn’t have any time to do anything useful.
A Series
Sony’s new Powerbook killer. I wish they would give a more meaningful refresh of the Z1 line, which I use. Aside aside: do they have the worst URIs and store or what? Also see their upcoming 1.7 pound notebook that looks gorgeous.
Om Malik
Om Malik, noted tech writer, has made the switch to WordPress. “Word Press is very fast, nimble and is light weight. I see the bandwidth consumption is down, and so are the MySQL resources.” The path he took.
Technorati
WordPress now has 4623 inbound sources and 10232 inbound links, which according to my watchlist page ranks it at #7 in the technoratisphere. This site is #129. WP isn’t on the Technorati 100 because they filter out weblogging tools and other non-blog sites.
Asymptomatic
The guy who made that giant chart everyone has seen ended up choosing WordPress for his own use. A very interesting read because he obviously is very familar with dozens of systems and goes into detail on why he made the choice he did.
Victor Lombardi
Victor Lombardi now uses WordPress. Look at how the information architects go crazy with sub-categories. I love it!

Moose Courtship
Moose courtship, why not?
Jason Santa Maria
Jason Santa Maria sheares his design methodology. I think these types of posts are fascinating. Whenever I get a chance to talk to a designer I really admire this is one thing I always ask, as Jeffrey and Doug will attest from SxSW 2003.
Web Style Guide

Ethan redesigns and discovers the good Word.
MT Licensing
Six Apart announces more changes to Movable Type license. That sounds like a good model for WordPress.
Gregory Chow
Princeton professor and noted expert on Chinese economics left two drive-by comments on my blog the other day. I’m guessing he was searching for his name on Google and came across the entry. In any case, I’m flattered. If anyone needs a blog it’s that guy.
Unraveled CSS
Freshly stolen CSS? Is the Creative Commons enforcable?
Stopdesign
I was thinking about redesigning, but now it’s trendy. Love the new logo. I also love live redesigns, it really gives you a peek into the designers mind. I learned so much by watching Zeldman iterate his design a year or so ago. When I redesigned photomatt.net it was a live redesign, and it was pretty ugly at some points but I’m happy with how it turned out. Yellow is the new black.
Reply Highlighting
If I ever highlight comments the colors would differentiate just me and everyone else, because that’s the only hierarchy on this site. I’m no longer being auto-highlighted over at Dave’s, which is too bad because I thought my mezzoyellow.com joke was funny, but I don’t think manual highlighting is going to scale. Basing it on URI is dangerous at best, and the PHP code is… well I need to write more PHP articles for Digital Web.
Teach Yourself Movable Type
Molly’s new books is out. Why no Amazon link? Here we go: Buy Teach Yourself Movable Type in 24 Hours. (I’ve always wondered, does anyone ever binge on those books and do everything in one day?)
mezzoblue
Dave Shea redesigns, the new look is called “Proton.”
TextDrive
Dean offers hosting, and pledges 10% of the fee to anyone who uses WordPress on it. Available for a limited time only. Those specs sound killer. You can’t deny that man’s flair.
