That’s right, my favorite Brit Podz has invited me to WordPress.com. Many thanks to him. What I am going to do with it, I’m not sure. Stay tuned to the world according to shep to find out.
This is a temp them while I have a really nice looking theme developed. I can’t wait to see it finished. When will it be up? I have no clue, but keep checking. I think it will look great.
Congrats to the whole WP development team.
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 (namely MovableType, which has begun to shift its focus away from consumers and onto enterprises). Although wrangling together a domain name and Web hosting space and then uploading the WordPress software can be intimidating to newcomers, once it’s set up this hosted option is one of your easiest for ongoing use. You can download and tweak visual themes that make your blog look radically different from the plain default Kubrick theme (blue header, white background). There are also plenty of plug-ins, with which you can set your blog up to do things like highlight search text, restrict certain posts to certain users or tie in with outside services like Flickr, Del.icio.us or Technorati. WordPress is gaining in popularity quickly, with more than 200,000 downloads in its first three months. If you like WordPress, but think it’s too complicated, try Blogsome, a hosted version of WordPress.
BEST: Community of users. If you have a question, either check the documentation wiki (to which anyone can contribute) or ask at the support message board. We had an obscure question answered within an hour.
WORST: Poor image management options.
This is a great plugin written by skippy. Make sure you download it. Its easy to install and use. Making backups of your blog is important.
This is a great addition for WordPress Backup Week
In case you didn’t notice, I put up a new header. I decided to quit using the old one, even though I liked it a lot. I think this one is more “me.” If you are unfamiliar with St. Louis, that is Busch Stadium with the St. Louis Arch in the background.
