Installing WordPress on OS X 10.3, well-written and thorough.

Chinese
WordPress in simplified Chinese. Looks complicated to me. (Thanks, I’m here all week…)
Screen Savers?
Someone told me WordPress was on TechTV today. Anyone catch it?
Why WordPress?
Why WordPress? An oldie but a goodie.
Netcraft on WP
Netcraft on WordPress and blogging software shift, however the best reason to use WP isn’t that it’s free, it’s that it works better. Hat tip: Simon.
Davezilla
Davezilla, funniest site on the net, redesigns and switches to WordPress. Seems a little slow though, might want to check out the Staticize Reloaded plugin.
New Comments
I changed up the comment styles a bit. Let me know what you think. I had to make a compromise with an extra element. When my audience drops below 20% Internet Explorer I’ll move to a purely generated content solution. (I estimate in about 2006.)
Meetup Update
The three top cities for the WordPress meetup right now are San Francisco, Houston, and Manila (in the Phillipines). Four people have confirmed their attendence at the Borders in San Francisco so far. If only four people come, we’ll still have a blast, but I suspect there will be some surprise guests that should make things very interesting. Saturday at 4 PM, possibly in a city near you. Don’t forget.
MD5 and passwords
Handy Dandy Guides to MD5 and passwords, in which you can see why we use that method for WordPress. Hat tip: Sushubh.
bestkungfu
Matt May, best known to me for his accessibility work and employment at the W3C, appears to have switched to WordPress. Also, congrats on the 5k (which has nothing to do with computers). All he needs now are cooler URIs.
Learning The Lessons of Nixon
Lisa Williams uses the Dewey Decimal system to categorize her WordPress blog. Krazy.
Press It
WordPressing matters: Fixing Press It for FireFox 0.9, this will of course be in the next release.
Link Changes
I made some much needed cleanups to the URI structure around here. I changed my links, but yours can stay the same. Every previous variation of permalinks all the way back to when I first started with b2 still works, and all serve permanent redirects to the latest and greatest.
IRC
WordPress IRC channel, #wordpress on irc.freenode.net.
WordPress wish list
Thunderbyrd WordPress wish list, what’s neat is almost everything is covered through plugins. Also see the official wishlist on the wiki.
Transition Plans
The *.weblogs.com sites will be back up soon and there are several options for moving to other Manilla providers or importing to WordPress.
SmartyPants On Demand
SmartyPants On Demand (instead of all the time). I’ve refactored some parts of Texturize so it’s even faster and smarter than before, and that’ll be in the next WP release. I got an email from a project manager at Google a week or two ago asking for a Texturize feature list and if the code was available. He wouldn’t say what they were going to use it for.
WP Hackers
WordPress Hackers mailing list, for the technically inclined.
Feeds
Okay already! Just the asides category and every category but asides. This sort of thing is really easy with a dynamic system.
Scavenger Hunt
Nick is doing a scavenger hunt in return for Gmail invites. I’ve got a few extra invites now too. Interesting offers considered. I’ll throw in a free copy of WordPress. UPDATE: If you just email asking for an invite, you will be immediately deleted. Leave a comment with your interesting offer.
