WordPress hosted blog service goes public
WordPress.com, the hosted blog service developed by the WordPress team (the gears running this site), is now out of private beta and is public. I’ve been using the service for about two weeks now (but I’ve only posted to once so far, to my detriment). My reaction is split down the middle, as I stated…

The Blogging Heads monitor Technorati
I’m incredibly honored that Mickey Kaus and Robert Wright, the 3-D, Max Hedrom-esque Blogging Heads, linked to my recent post praising their new videoblogging venture, Bloggingheads.tv. Mickey’s kausfiles is one of my earliest inspirations towards working and writing on the web (remember when Kaus’ paragraph-style blogroll called Wright’s Non-Zero “fab big think”?). Now it’s a…

Yes, it’s true…
Now that I’m not using post titles all the time, I need to add a permanent link icon to each post. Working on that now… UPDATE: I added a bolded link labeled…wait for it…”LINK” at the footer of each post. That way, the world still gets a permalink if I don’t title a post.
