The focus of WordPressMU sites like wordpress.com is on the content, not on the tweak. As it grows, I'm sure there will be some tweaking and customizing that will allow users to change the header art or a few colors and add some features in the sidebar and such, and new Themes will be arriving as soon as they are cleaned up for MU use...there is a lot of great things to look forward to that will be coming soon, I'm sure. Even some of the screen shots you are showing are different from what they were a few weeks ago. This is living and changing software with new surprises every day. That's part of the fun of the special invite. And as <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2005/09/20/hello-wordpresscom-users-and-testers/" rel="nofollow">one of the invites to wordpress.com</a> you are requested to help the development process by using the Feedback button on the Administration Panels to tell the developers what you like, don't like, and problems you find. This kind of interaction is great. As for the referers panel, it tracks your site access. It needs some work but the information will be more obvious as you begin to get traffic. This is a plugin not a standard feature for the future WordPress 1.6, but it's a neat way of sorta tracking incoming links, visitors, and search requests. I look forward to seeing this improve. And when a user is ready to dig into customization, then they can move up into the full version of WordPress.

It's been a sore point with Blogger and bloggers have had to resort to very creative measures in order to categorize their posts. Looking Good :)

I'd think that this would be being considered for the final launch, and although I'm an alpha tester I'm not priveleged to the development process at this stage other than providing feedback. I agree with your assessment though, you'd be wanting to look at full domains if you could, I'm not a particular fan of the subdomain plus domain mapping approach of TypePad because I keep going back to Steve Rubel's site that's split its stats because of it. Cant shed any more light at this stage. more soon I hope,certainly I'll be doing some posting and giving it a bash and seeing what happens. John

One question which you may be able to answer, Duncan : does the service work with user domain names, or the subdomain plus domain mapping approach of Typepad? I reckon the answer will attract, or put off, a lot of potential users. I’ve been rabbiting on about a WordPress hosted service, like Typepad, for a while, so I’m delighted it’s coming.
