Wow, Photo Matt and WordPress are in the PubSub 100. How they work.

Good Blimey! WordPress 1.2 Final Released.
“I’ve just now updated Good Blimey to the final version, and it was easy and quick. The past few days I’ve been messing around in WordPress has left me nothing but impressed and sad that I didn’t install it earlier.”

I almost forgot that Neowin uses WordPress for its events blog too. I count 36 authors on that blog, which fits perfectly in our licensing scheme. Hat tip: Sushubh.

Neowin.net -> Comparative: WordPress versus Movable Type. Fair and balanced, and it made the front page of Neowin.

“I just upgraded this site and it took me about 2 minutes!”

WordPress Template Tags, just a taste of some of the new documentation. Kudos to Anne van Kesteren for his hard work on this one.

Hixie’s Natural Log: Web Applications and Compound Documents, IMHO. Like Hixie ever has a humble opinion. 😉

Former Colgate-Palmolive Consumer Affairs expert analyzes MT trackback feedback. Good read. I’m going to try to start classifying WordPress feedback.

Why I shouldn’t go to NY. Hat tip: the lovely Julie.

URI, URL, and URN explained. Clearest thing I’ve read on the matter yet.

“I’ve just upgraded my install of WP to the final release candidate of version 1.2.”

There is supposedly one photo of Matthew Thomas on the web. The first person to find it gets a giant prize. I haven’t decided what the prize is yet. If WordPress is delayed at all, it’s because no one can find this fabled picture of The Other Matt.

Ping-o-Matic RPC pinging now available. Lose all that other stuff and put this in your blog tool now. More on this after the WordPress launch.

Spider Bites. I got bitten by a spider but I’m not sure what kind. Luckily not one of the ones described on thta page.

The Scripty Goddess has her first plugin up. With a simple tweak she could shave a step. I’m really digging the new WordPress plugin system. First of many to come from her? Bing!

Phil checks out MT license. Aren’t most software licenses similarly gross and nasty? I suspect most of this was from a template of some sort. I read a Microsoft EULA once and had nightmares for weeks. The GPL isn’t bad.

Dinah discovers our secret plan for world domination. She must be taken care of now. We can’t let this get around.

Joel on Software – Fire And Motion. While I was reading this I was interrupted 7 times. Wasn’t this in Office Space first? “In a week, I’d say I do about 15 minutes of real, actual work.” Any tips for making those minutes come more frequently? Hat tip: I can’t remember.
