Forbes.com Best of Web
WordPress wins Forbes.com Best of Web and Favorite award for blog tools! “In February, open source blogging application WordPress came out with its release 1.5, and we’ve found that this release puts WordPress squarely ahead of its competition.” Our number of downloads has more than doubled since that was written. Hat tip: Niall Kennedy.

On Podcasting
More love from Apple.com: “IMHO WordPress is the best single user blogging system available (did I mention its free?) […] I came accross this really simple tutorial on how to use WordPress as a podcasting engine … take a look at it. What is so amazing is how easy it really is! Before you know it, you’ll have thousands of listeners, be listed in the iTunes 4.9 Podcasting Directory, and be a media darling.” We’re turning the media darling thing into a plugin in 1.6. Hat tip: Pete Quily.
EMIC Clusters
Has anyone used any of EMIC’s cluster systems? I hate it when websites make you contact them to get any useful information. Defeats the purpose of the web.

Sort WP with Greasemonkey
Greasemonkey has gotten a bit of bad hype lately, but it’s still incredibly useful and relevant. Check out this user script that allows you to sort table rows in WordPress using Greasemonkey. BTW, a better sorting algo should be able to deal with no leading zeroes on rows.

WordPress-ive
J. Michael thinks WordPress is WordPress-ive. “And their website’s Installing and Upgrading WordPress wikis are the sort of Help pages most every open source app I’ve ever used was lacking. They’re simply a pleasure to use. […] WordPress fills a specific need I’ve had since my very first website back in the mid-late nineties, and I simply can’t believe it’s free.”
Online Journalism Review
WordPress in the Online Journalism Review with a very positive write-up. Hat tip: Newley Purnell.
