BBS Updates
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.
BBS Slide
At the Blog Business Summit the next few days we’ll have a graphic in the slideshow that they have on the screen during downtime. Check it out. It’s care of the extremely talented Khaled.
BAR Camp
Blog Business Summit starts today, but what I’m really looking forward to is BAR Camp this weekend. I think this is the start of something very exciting.
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!
Translator Needed
WordPress.com Invites
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.
Blogpulse Neighborhood
Anti-Portfolio
Bessamer Venture’s anti-portfolio, which is a pretty funny read. Hat tip: Jeff Clavier.
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.
Odeo Microformats
Odeo adds support for Microformats, which I consider to be more important than their subsequent post on funding. 🙂 More about microformats »
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.
