Former Colgate-Palmolive Consumer Affairs expert analyzes MT trackback feedback. Good read. I’m going to try to start classifying WordPress feedback.

I’ve got your switching right here. I swear it’s for localization.
Guys named MATT
Why I shouldn’t go to NY. Hat tip: the lovely Julie.

URI, URL, and URN explained. Clearest thing I’ve read on the matter yet.

Picture of Matthew Thomas
There is supposedly one photo of Matthew Thomas on the web. The first person to find it gets a giant prize. I haven’t decided what the prize is yet. If WordPress is delayed at all, it’s because no one can find this fabled picture of The Other Matt.
MetaPinging
Ping-o-Matic RPC pinging now available. Lose all that other stuff and put this in your blog tool now. More on this after the WordPress launch.
Spider Bites
Spider Bites. I got bitten by a spider but I’m not sure what kind. Luckily not one of the ones described on thta page.
First Plugin
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!
Licensing matters
Phil checks out MT license. Aren’t most software licenses similarly gross and nasty? I suspect most of this was from a template of some sort. I read a Microsoft EULA once and had nightmares for weeks. The GPL isn’t bad.
Anil Dash Moving Forward
Anil on Movable Type pricing and Six Apart. It’s refreshing and touching to see such honest, heart-felt communication.
The Horrible Plot Is Revealed
Dinah discovers our secret plan for world domination. She must be taken care of now. We can’t let this get around.
Fire And Motion
Joel on Software – Fire And Motion. While I was reading this I was interrupted 7 times. Wasn’t this in Office Space first? “In a week, I’d say I do about 15 minutes of real, actual work.” Any tips for making those minutes come more frequently? Hat tip: I can’t remember.
RSS-ENT
Easy News Topics – RSS 2.0 Module aka RSS ENT.
The Best Choice – WordPress
magistyk weblog » The Best Choice – WordPress. “Only good things can come from these people.”
Blogging For Fun & Profit
Blogging For Fun & Profit. The HTML version could be a lot better. Is blogging for profit still blogging?
Beyond The Template Engine
Beyond The Template Engine. Any sufficently advanced templating engine approaches PHP in syntax and capabilities. Most are more trouble than they’re worth. (Disclaimer: I chose Smarty for a fairly large client project.)
Blog Comparison
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.
Move to WordPress
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.
