QiSci
Quantum scientists at University of Queensland are using WordPress to power their site, obviously sharp people. Another good use of WP as a CMS.

Web Photos Pro
The Web Photos Pro site is run mostly on WordPress, which I didn’t even realize until I saw the “Powered by WordPress” link. Great example of WP used as a CMS for an entire site. (The software looks cool too.)
LDAP Authentication
A hack for a LDAP enabled WordPress 1.5. More and more large organizations with external authentication are using WordPress internally.
Third Goal
Third Goal, a WordPress powered blog for Peace Corps volunteers.
TextDrive Deal
FCC Bluff
Call the media bluff on HD.
Commercial Gates
At Spam Summit
I’m at the web spam summit and it’s going pretty well. I think some excellent things will come out of this. I wouldn’t want to be a spammer these days.
Lockergnome Reviews WordPress
Lockergnome reviews WordPress and gives it 9/10. “I have never seen such a great interactive community before in my life.” Also talks about Blogger, which I’m personally a big fan of and it’s usually what I recommend to new bloggers. They also have the coolest logo and clothing in the biz.
WordPress in NYT
Bloggers Add Moving Images to Their Musings is, as far as I know, the first mention of WordPress in the New York Times. First of many, hopefully. 🙂 (I wonder what sort of traffic they’ll drive?)
Eric on 1.5
Eric Meyer on WordPress 1.5, “A good tool is now a great tool, and I can only imagine where it will go from here.” A nice look at things from a developer and tweaker perspective.
Mac Attack
Forget the Mac triumvirate, I’ve got a new photo up reminding you to Think Different, just like everyone else in San Francisco. 🙂
Paris Hilton’s VoiceMail
It’s like one of those train wrecks you can’t look away from, but Om has the scoop that Paris Hilton’s voicemail was cracked as well.
Chetan Review
Another great review: “This version brings back the pleasure to blog. […] Are WordPressers the only ones having all the fun these days or what?”
Nice Review
Another great review:
“It’s beautiful, light-weight, easy to manage, and by goodness it’s got so many features I feel like a spoiled rich kid with 20 Ferraris, 10 Lambos, 5 Lotus Elises, and a spit-shined Bentley. This thing is powerful, yet compact. Don’t even get me started on their plugins systems.” And that marks the 300th ping on the announcement entry.
Popups
There’s been a lot of talk about pop-unders that get by Firefox and Safari and I’ve seen them myself. The ones I’ve seen are using the technique I first saw on SitePoint, did the ad makers get some “fresh thinking for web developers and designers”?
Image Headline Plugin
coldforged Image Headline Plugin gives you really nice shadows, I’ll have to check out how he did that.
