You can now can change the color of the Kubrick theme if you choose the default WordPress theme on WordPress.com.
I choose a Apple-ish color scheme with the black fading to a grey-ish white.
Nifty new feature that went live today.
Thanks to Donnacha’s blog for the details.
The last invite on eBay went for $46.37. I’ve just put mine on there…happy bidding! I will say,
I am loving the serivce, and wish I had enough invites to give to everyone. Since I cannot decide on who to give it to, I put it on eBay. I highly recommend you try to win this auction. On top of the invite it comes with built in cool factor!* (digg story)
*Cool factor is subjective and not a guarantee. You could still be a total loser geek, but you will have one kick ass membership that no one else in town has.
That appeared below the WordPress logo on the site here today in my admin panel. Looks like they just want you to use ANYTHING but Internet Explorer. I happen to agree. Here’s a link to BrowseHappy.
I thought of Gmail when I saw how clean and fast this was…but I didn’t say anything.
I ran my rss feed thru Feedburner just to for shits and giggles.
Here is the link, if you are interrested.
oOo…WYSIWYG support…very nice. Sorry just noticed that.
Heck you don’t even of had to use blogger, just visit a blogger site. You see a option bar on the top. They have that here, but only if you are logged in. You see it when you go to your blog. Can add a new post or see the dashboard right from there.
BTW I have 1 invite, how should I use it? eBay or give away?
I am reminded that every category in WordPress is a tag for Technorati. And one of the really nice features (I’d like to see this on my hosted wordpress blogs) is that you can add categories on the fly.
Also you can of course add the tag key in the custom fields. I never liked that option.
I never liked having tons and tons of categories just to have the technorati tags I want either.
Went thru all of the options and found a lot of the old, and a few things missing.
There isn’t really anything new to talk about that I can see though.
Under Manage: all the same options exist…one extra is referers (gives some nice stats)
Links: same old
Presentation: YIKES! 8 Themes to choose from and seemingly no way to customize them.
Profile: a few more options to include Gmail/Jabber info.
Options: There is a funny blurb under the Personal section (where is my block quote?)
Personal options are just for you, they don’t affect other users on blog.
| Use the visual rich editor when writing |
| We should really figure out what else to put here. |
Upload: You can upload files with the extension jpg, jpeg, png, gif, mp3, mov as long as they are no larger than 1500 KB. (No word on bandwidth restrictions).
I like it….very good alternative to ::vomit:: Blogger.
Sure I understand that this is a free account hosted on WordPress.com so you won’t have all of the main features, but put in some Technorati Tagging, and let me add some thing to my sidebar or change the header icon.
Wow…wow is all I can say. Such an honor to be selected for the WordPress beta program.
I really like the interface, you can tell they used some AJAX on the site. Heck the text area for a post is expandable even.
The post preview also shows the entire blog instead of just the simple post. Nice.
Let me putz around a bit and see what else lies under the covers.
BTW: no Technorati support built in that I can see.
