Sitepoint Switches
Sitepoint has switched their blogs to WordPress, which I find amusing since in 2001 I joined SitePoint to learn more about web stuff and their PHP/MySQL tutorial was probably the first I used. Here they talk about integrating WP with vBulletin. Hat tip: EasyRew and Josh Lavin via email.
WYSIWYG Screenshots
Owen has a nice animated screenshot of the new WYSIWYG features in WordPress. By the way, I’ll be doing the first public demo of WP 1.6 and WordPress.com tomorrow morning at 8 AM at the Blog Business Summit.
Getting Close
The WordPress download counter is about to break half a million!
Blogging BBS
I’m blogging about the Blog Business Summit over on my WordPress.com blog. Here’s the feed.
Russ Switches
Russ switched to WordPress and has written a little bit about it. His permalinks are still a little funky, but they match his old system and in terms of content the transition from his custom CMS seems to have been pretty seemless.
Search WP with Firefox Extensions
Plugins to search both the WordPress Codex and WordPress Support forums from your Firefox search bar. Cool!

WP Job
Content Sutra is looking for a WordPress hacker, a very high-profile job which would be a real coup for whoever gets it.
UIE
UIE has a great looking new WordPress blog called Brain Sparks.
Joe Trippi
Joe Trippi has switched to WordPress too. Hat tip: Niall.
Zoo Blog
“The best zoo in the world has weblogs now.” The new San Diego Zoo blog is powered by WordPress too. Hat tip: Matt Haughey.
Podshow
The buzz is Podshow got over 8 million dollars for their company. As was noted on Photo Matt before, “all of adam curry’s podshow affiliates are using wordpress across the network.” Regardless of that, I’m wishing them the best in their new venture. They have a killer board.
More Trackback Spam
Came across two interesting posts today Trackback spam a nightmare and Fighting Trackback spam. Although I appreciate the praise for all we’ve done thus far in WordPress to address these problems, I think we’ve got a lot left to do and this is still an area of very active development.
The Word is WYSI
It’s official now, the excellent TinyMCE has been integrated into WordPress 1.6. The real test after the search was if I could use it on a day to day basis, even though I normally can’t stand WYSIWYG-type things. With this integration I’ve actually found it more enjoyable to use and the code it produces is top-notch. Of course if you don’t like it, there’s a new checkbox to disable it under Options > Writing.
Mac Tips
Mac Tips looks clean, has nice content, and runs WordPress. Hat tip: Geof.
Sitemeter Blog
Sitemeter provides stats for more sites than I could ever count, and their weblog runs WordPress. Hat tip: Richard Eriksson.
New Dreamhost Blog
The new Dreamhost blog is powered by WordPress, of course. Hat tip: Kathleen.
