New Feedback

For those of you already on WordPress.com, I finally got some time to pretty up the feedback form a bit. It was already all hip and AJAXy thanks to Donncha, and hopefully now it’s a little friendlier too. 🙂

Beam me up Scotty

As we boldly go where no blogging service has gone before, it seems we don’t have enough power! As in electricity to physically power all of the new hardware we have. I asked if hamsters on wheels would help things out but they seem to think the power requirements are even beyond that. It’s notContinue reading “Beam me up Scotty”

New Hardware

If you thought things were fast now, check this out. 🙂

Movable Type Demo

They just said if I blog about MT there’ll be a prize. They’re making a lot of bold claims, they just said it is the “most used blogging platform in the world” and it has the “best community and support in the world.” Now they’re showing the video that shows a demo of upgrading. UpgradingContinue reading “Movable Type Demo”

Presentation Feedback

First I wanted to thank everyone that came out terribly early in the morning at 8 AM for the WordPress presentation, espescially in light of some of the great parties last night. Don’t forget to email me if you caught me right after the presentation and gave me your business card, as that way I’llContinue reading “Presentation Feedback”

Internet Explorer Schwag

I’m a Firefox/Flock guy at heart, but Microsoft just gave out this really nice bag that’s perfect in every way except for the Internet Explorer logo on the side. 😉 I don’t want to be shunned at the geek meetings and dinners, so I’ll probably stick to my current setup, but if I got aContinue reading “Internet Explorer Schwag”

Hello world.

Bob Wyman is saying partial feeds don’t matter, because you should be putting as much effort into your partial feed as into your full feed, don’t auto-generate excerpts. (Like most blog software does automatically.Continue reading “BBS: Building Traffic: Posting Isn’t Enough”

An Idea

Matt Marshall’s idea: rank auto-suggested categories by popularity.

Comments back

Comments were missing because I had accidentally deactivated the option that tells me when a comment is held for moderation. They’re all approved now so go crazy. I thought it was odd that this entry didn’t get any comments before. 🙂

Whoops

I have a meeting at CNET I have to head to so I’m actually going to miss the parts of Dave’s session where he talks about Blogger and Typepad and “Smart Blogging Techniques.” I’ll update this post with links to people who did blog it when they surface on the search engines.

BBS: Definitions and Explanations

Dave Taylor is doing a fairly good talk, though I disagree with much of what he’s saying. (But most of the points he’s getting at are good.) However some human error I lost my first 20 minutes of notes, so I’m going to restart in the middle. “Home pages don’t matter.” “The design of myContinue reading “BBS: Definitions and Explanations”
