Judge blogs by their covers, powered by WordPress.
Bush2004
Bush2004 upgrades to WordPress blog, I think I saw this guy at SxSW, if he was indeed the one wearing the bush2004.com hat and t-shirt.
Another Linking policy
CNET News.com linking policy. Seems sane.
The Saint WP
A Windows/Apache/MySQL/PHP distribution offers WordPress as their first plugin. Is it just me or do all of these things come out of Germany?

The Art of Questioning your Clients
How many hours?
About how many hours of productive work do you get done a day? Comment anonymously if you prefer.
WP-Amazon
Amazon WordPress plugin, looks handy.
More Friendster
I just logged into Friendster and it’s really fast. Like Orkut fast. Their markup looks good too. Russell Beattie continues the PHP discussion with Is PHP Really More Scalable Than JSP?
Calculate Pagerank
Calculate Pagerank with PHP, using some funky but cool code. Better than having to fire up IE just to use the toolbar.
Friendster goes PHP
Friendster addresses performance problems by switching from Java to PHP. Note in the comments how language zealots are flailing about pointing to benchmarks saying how much faster JSP is. The comments from the PHP guys are the only decent ones in the thread. I stand by the assertion that PHP is the top web language to use to get stuff done.

Movable Type and WordPress Meet
Loïc Le Meur Blog: MT and WordPress meet :=) I didn’t get to see Loïc again on Friday like we originally planned, but in the short time we met I got a good impression. People assume that behind the scenes we’re all at each other’s throats, that it’s all WordPress vs. MT vs. Drupal vs. TextPattern vs. Blogger vs. whatever, but it’s actually the opposite. Though there may be some professional differences (you say po-tah-to, I say PHP) everyone is genuinely friendly. Behind the tools are normal people, not super-villians. While meeting with a large potential WordPress user I suggested they also check out Typepad and Blogware because I’ve personally used each and they seem like solid platforms worthy of investigation. I hung out with Anil half of the days I was in San Francisco. Life is too short to waste karma on blogging, and while I get as passionate about the issues as anyone, at the end of the day we’re all contributing something positive to the medium. Of course, Mingus would say “They’re singing your praises while stealing your phrases.”

Power
The Power of WordPress, or how to leverage a robust platform to speed development. I’ve grown so accustomed to WP functions and resources that I find myself including the WP files as a base to work from even when what I’m doing has nothing to do with blogging.
Black Feminism
Black Feminism powered by WordPress, a migration from Drupal. “If you’re interested in using WordPress, I encourage you to. It’s well documented, open source, and standards-compliant. It does help if you know PHP, but it’s not crucial. All-in-all, a wonderful web log tool.”
