WordPress Multiblog
Multisite 0.1b, a multiblog implementation for WordPress. Haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but I like its simple approach. You could run a thousand sites off this. The next step would be a friendly interface to the configuration.
Funky UA
Anyone seen this user agent in their logs? Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.0; Windows NT; ....../1.0 )
Internet Advertising
Death of internet advertising. Hat tip: Politech.
CMS Icons
Stock icons geared toward CMS use from the great folks at Firewheel. I wish we could use something like this in WP. Don’t buy them for us! Read the comments.
Subversion in Finder
Free Blog Software
Free Blog Software and Hosting review. Hat tip: Mom.
Phil Returns
Phil Ringnalda is back! Going on hiatus without warning worries people.
Import Blosxom
Import Blosxom to WordPress. Hat tip: Gordon.
Greenfield and Technorati
Adam Greenfield gets refund from Technorati and explanation of what went wrong, however the rest of us are left in the dark. Airing your grievances in public is a good way to get a response from a company, but the squeaky wheel approach to communication doesn’t seem it would scale.
Gmail Contacts
Gmail can now import contacts from a variety of CSV sources but there doesn’t seem to be any way to export contacts. Don’t be greedy!
Saying Hello
Esmerel: Reasons for Saying Hello. Hat tip: Waffle.
Bash 3.0
Bash 3.0 released, looks like some neat stuff. My favorite bash tip is to put set completion-ignore-case On in your .inputrc file for case-insensitive completion. Lately I’ve been playing with zsh and it seems very powerful.
Kubrick by Michael
Michael finishes the Kubrick theme for WordPress, goes beyond just a style. Be like Mike with your blog. Where are the screenshots? Just like other enviroments there seem to be a few style leaders in the WordPress ecosystem and you can clearly see their influence in a lot of blogs.
Creativity
New Blog for Cathy
I just set up a blog for Cathy.
Firefox Design
Firefox UI design mockups. That’s how Matthew Thomas did them for WordPress. ASCIIIIIIII.
Manchurian
Just saw the Manchurian Candidate and it was really excellent. The end got away from me though. Does anyone know what happened there?
PHP Missles
In a language war, don’t be so quick to push the button. A little Friday fun.
For Pay WordPress
I’ve had a surprising number of questions about the “free unlimited-user copy of WordPress” prize for the color scheme contest. To clarify, that was a joke. WordPress is Free. 🙂
