Scoble using WordPress.com

I believe he started off on Radio Userland like myself, and is now switching over to WordPress.com for his blog. Seems as if he is at weblogs.com as well.

He has his site http://www.scobleizer.com redirect to his wp blog.

Testing posting from Flickr onto the wordpress.com blog

Sweet it worked even though Flickr.com didn’t think it did: “Your blog posting failed. If your configuration details have changed, update them now.”

Custom Kubrick colors

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.

Invite on eBay!

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.

Browse Happy

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.

“Snappy like Gmail”

I thought of Gmail when I saw how clean and fast this was…but I didn’t say anything.

 

I let Madge Weinstein from Yeast Radio under the hood and Madge put it in just those words, “Snappy like gmail.”

 

I am totally loving this service. WordPress has a winning product here. Why would you stay with blogger (and their atom only syndication)?

 

Feedburner

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.  

Ever used blogger?

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? 

Technorati fix

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.
