WordPress on the Wikipedia, I wonder who’s going around adding all this blogging stuff to the wikipedia? The site is looking excellent, not sure when they adopted that new style. Looks like a good CSS implementation, which makes perfect sense for an encyclopedia. (Not counting the weird page-within-a-page embedding thing which I suspect is an application error.)

Reply Highlighting
If I ever highlight comments the colors would differentiate just me and everyone else, because that’s the only hierarchy on this site. I’m no longer being auto-highlighted over at Dave’s, which is too bad because I thought my mezzoyellow.com joke was funny, but I don’t think manual highlighting is going to scale. Basing it on URI is dangerous at best, and the PHP code is… well I need to write more PHP articles for Digital Web.
Upgrading
“It’s easier to upgrade from MT 2.6 to WordPress than it is from MT 2.6 to MT 3.0.” Usually I stay away from Slashdot comments, but these look pretty good. 😉
Textile 2 for WordPress
Adam updates Textile 2 for WordPress. Apparently the plugin we included with 1.2 doesn’t have all the features the perl version does. We’ll have to roll this in.

Interface design in WordPress
Matthew Thomas » Interface design in WordPress 1.2. If you think the new options are nice, wait to you see some of the other stuff mpt is bugging me to do. 🙂 We’re very lucky to have this guy around. Don’t believe anyone who tells you UI is easy. Matthew spent a lot of time designing everything and it took me an order of magnitude longer than I expected to implement most of it. (The last 10% will take even longer.)
Comparative: WordPress versus Movable Type
Neowin.net -> Comparative: WordPress versus Movable Type. Fair and balanced, and it made the front page of Neowin.
Template Tags
WordPress Template Tags, just a taste of some of the new documentation. Kudos to Anne van Kesteren for his hard work on this one.
First Plugin
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!

Blogging For Fun & Profit
Blogging For Fun & Profit. The HTML version could be a lot better. Is blogging for profit still blogging?
Beyond The Template Engine
Beyond The Template Engine. Any sufficently advanced templating engine approaches PHP in syntax and capabilities. Most are more trouble than they’re worth. (Disclaimer: I chose Smarty for a fairly large client project.)
Blog Comparison
Good comparison of different PHP blogging tools. I don’t really consider Drupal a blogging tool though, and efforts to make it one have all seemed a little strained to me. Use the right tool for the job. See also: Incomplete WP feature list and what’s new in 1.2.
Move to WordPress
The Move to WordPress, and a sharp design too. “No re-building, no muss and no fuss.” One of my favorite things about linking to all these WP sites is the beautiful permalinks they use, which used to be the realm of just the blogging elite and heavy tweakers.
The Great Switch
Jeremy Shields on why he uses WordPress. “I really feel that WordPress has redefined the way a Weblog CMS should be”
WordPress in Hindi
WordPress in Hindi. It’s the first full localization I’ve seen and it gives me chills. Congrats to Pankaj.
