And thanks for the stats

This is odd. Today I was reading on Wordpress.com’s blog about “Two New Stats Things”, written by the always fantastic and multi-talented Andy Skelton, and since I use Wordpress’ free stats plugin as my primary means of tracking statistics here on First initial, last name I figured I’d show my appreciation to Andy and team for [...]

Wordpress’ Twitter API

Wordpress.com, to be specific, now has an API that mirrors the Twitter API. This effectively allows any Twitter client, such as Tweetie or Hahlo, to read and write to Wordpress.com powered blogs only by changing their API endpoint.

Wordpress.com supports geotagging – Where is the plugin?

Wordpress.com now supports geotagging for both the blog itself on Wordpress.com and each individual post. Although there have been a few plugins that support this for the self-hosted Wordpress none look as promising as the one running on Wordpress.com now. So, where is the plugin?

Wordpress 2.9 and oEmbed and Viddler

While perusing Aaron Brazell’s always great 10 things you need to know about [the latest upcoming version of Wordpress] for Wordpress 2.9 I noticed that it will have oEmbed support. Back in June 2008 I added an oEmbed service to Viddler. That means that in the next version of Wordpress you’ll be able to embed Viddler [...]

What I learned from the Wordpress.com situation today

Have you ever said something and say “That didn’t come out right”? What about this? Have you ever been a little less than patient and do or say something a little bit too soon? Or, or maybe this? Have you ever thought you were doing something exactly the way that you should only to look [...]

Why you don’t need a URL shortening service if you use Wordpress

I was in the mood for a long post title. Sue me. My thoughts on URL shortening services are pretty public but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have a need for them. I prefer Bit.ly over any other URL shortening services that I’ve used to-date. With Tr.im dying I thought that there was always the possibility [...]

The Wordpress Help Center

From the “why hasn’t someone done something like this until now” category comes Crowd Favorite’s latest venture; The Wordpress HelpCenter. Alex King, who has been hacking on Wordpress even longer than I have, has more details about the launch of this service. Great idea, I hope it works out well for them.

MarsEdit 2.3 is out and supports Tumblr

You may have seen me quip about MarsEdit the other day on Twitter. Really, though, it is an excellent piece of software that should be given a go by anyone that writes a lot. I’m spoiled by a rich-editor in Wordpress, that saves drafts automatically and even has multiple revisions, and so I’m sticking with Wordpress [...]
