I’m not sure why they’re still working on a WordPress Blacklist when that functionality is built in to 1.2 in a very robust fashion. At this point patches to improve the included blacklist/moderation would be more useful to the average user, I think.

Jill/txt is having some problems switching to WordPress, maybe we can help? Two documentation pages that come to mind are styling lists and The Loop.

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.)

WordPress: The Road Ahead.

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.

“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. 😉

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.

“Let me tell you that right now it’s the slickest thing I’ve used.”

Neowin.net -> Comparative: WordPress versus Movable Type. Fair and balanced, and it made the front page of Neowin.

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!

magistyk weblog » The Best Choice – WordPress. “Only good things can come from these people.”

Blogging For Fun & Profit. The HTML version could be a lot better. Is blogging for profit still blogging?

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.

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.
