I know that Matt Mullenweg and Matt Thomas die a little each time they see WordPress fan art that uses a faux logo. I only notice the chubby W because I’ve been edumacated.
MT (the real) has updated WordPress.org/about/buttons with official WordPress logos in pngs and vector image formats.
There are also WordPress desktop wall paper in [...]

Interested in Freeing Yourself from the TypePad Trap?
September 18, 2008 – 11:49 am
My co-worker Noel Jackson, tired of hearing me whine about the Six Apart TypePad Trap, has created a WordPress importer mashing together the MT formatted export file (missing permalinks) and the broken TypePad AtomPub (missing comments and trackbacks). We are currently testing this on WordPress.com before polishing the code up and sharing it. We are [...]
WordCamp Shirt, Do You Do Spelling Bees?
September 3, 2008 – 9:01 am
One of the many things that Kathy Seirra’s session at WordCamp SF 2008 has me thinking about is what does WordPress say about us using it. And what do WordPress shirts say about the us wearing them.
About half way through her session she talks about “T-Shirt First Development (Guy Kawasaki)”. I have about 7 [...]
WordCamp Kicking Ass Passionate Video
August 28, 2008 – 11:24 am
Any way I put together the title it was this long monstrosity, so I just removed the filler words and then some.
So, one of the WordCamp SF sessions that I was eagerly awaiting the video being available to share is Kathy Seirra’s “Kicking Ass and Creating Passionate Users”:
Kathy Seirra is one of my favorite speakers, [...]
Broken WordPress Plugin or Theme, Blame Me
August 26, 2008 – 9:40 pm
WordPress community superstar and regular web tools collection contributor Jeff Chandler (jeffr0) recently published a passionate article, “Stop Blaming The WordPress Team“. The article is about plugin developers blaming WordPress for too frequent updates without testing of popular plugins. His conclusion ends “So the next time you upgrade WordPress and realize your favorite plugin is [...]
The TypePad Trap
August 22, 2008 – 8:10 am
So during my talk “Switching to WordPress Painlessly” at WordCamp, (video coming soon!) Six Apart’s Open Platforms Tech Lead David Recordon was in the audience and rather than have a chat with me at any one of the numerous times we passed during the day, he made this cute tweat instead:
There are a couple of [...]
Movable Type and TypePad Passwords in Plain Text
August 21, 2008 – 7:39 am
“If Movable Type was as popular, and under the same amount of scrutiny, I can’t imagine they would still be storing passwords as plain text.” upset at least one reader of “Movable Type Pro, Setting Social Networking Free, Vaporware, WordPress, BuddyPress“. His comment wasn’t polite, so I’ll answer without here without publishing it or calling [...]
Not Invited to the Open Web
July 24, 2008 – 11:43 am
Some friends have asked if WordPress and Automattic will be participating in the Open Web Foundation. It does look like a brilliant initiative, but as far as I know we weren’t invited. That’s really unfortunate, because I don’t think there could have been a greater gesture of co-operation in the blogging industry than David Recordon [...]
