A Python library for working with WordPress, English info further down on the page.

Wow, 200,000. Okay, time for a new release. 🙂 We’re also trying to work with hosting providers doing auto-installs so those are counted better, right now just Dreamhost is counted.

The include page plugin lets you include the contents of any page in any place in your template. This could be used to create discrete sections of your page you manage through the posting interface, which I know a lot of people would like.

The folks behind Divx are blogging using WordPress.

Nokrev won the check-in prize for the Theme competition, sorry it was late!

Ping-O-Matic is built into Mac OS X Tiger Server coming out tomorrow (or in an update), now we just need to get into Windows. Scoble? 😉

The WordPress Mission in response to a discussion that came up a few days ago on the WP-Hackers mailing list. By the way, I hope by this time next year to have eliminated all of the WordPress mailing lists. In thinking about how they’re currently handled I started making a list of how they need better archiving, more permanent URIs, better formatting, more searchable, and basically ended up describing a blog. The mailing lists should become a distributed, threaded aggregator where anyone with a blog can participate in the discussion given they pingback the proper URIs and/or use the proper tags.

Good morning! It gets crazier — Owen left a comment saying that movie director Kevin Smith has a WordPress blog.

This is too crazy — Rosie O’Donnell of talk show fame has a WordPress blog in which she writes poetry-like entries daily that get hundreds of comments. (And the site is very snappy, this is why more and more high-traffic publishers are switching to WordPress.) It gets better — she’s also on Flickr. I feel like I just stumbled into an alternate universe where celebrities are using software I helped write. Hat tip: neiljmorrow via email.

“I’ve discovered that WP has one fatal flaw in its presentation to the world.” He caught us!

IMAP Authentication for WordPress

Angermann2 is not your typical WP weblog. Warning: bright colors.

“The vhost plugin binds a WordPress category to a virtual host on your webserver, either a sub-domain or a seperate fully-qualified domain. You can have as many such bindings as you have vhosts: just make a new category for each one. Each vhost category pair can use its own template.”

A beta versioning plugin for WordPress, very cool. Been wanting something like this for a while. Tracks all the changes you make to an entry and allows you to revert to an older version if necessary.

WordPress is not PHP, a basic template tutorial.

Ping-O-Matic turned one today, just shy of a hundred million pings. I updated the pings per day graph last week to show all the data we had available. It’s kind of interesting to follow it through our one major downtime and the posting dips every weekend and the growth lately.
