Ghost Bloggers Growing in Popularity?
July 18, 2008 | By Andrew G.R. | 3 Comments
Toronto’s Globe and Mail is asking the question that’s on everybody’s mind (sarcasm): Does rapper Kanye West have a “ghost blogger?”
While the concept of ghost writing is hardly new (celebs have been relying on professional writers to create content that is officially credited to them forever), it looks like ghost blogging is blipping onto [...]
PodPress Update in 10 Days
July 18, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | 1 Comment
PodPress is probably the most used podcasting plugin for WordPress, and the one we’ve been using here at The Blog Herald. However, there have been issues with it since WordPress 2.5, and it doesn’t work with recently released 2.6. Among others that are frustrated are David Peralty, who’s written about the issue.
Luckily, the PodPress developer [...]
Twitter Outage Used to do Upgrades, New Design Being Tested
July 18, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment
Twitter experienced an unplanned outage, and is down and out for maintenance. They are using this outage to upgrade the affected database, according to a blog post. The service is still down, but hopefully we’ll be getting our microblogging cravings satisfied soon.
Speaking of Twitter, they have apparently tested a new design on select users. SheGeeks [...]
Unannounced Blogging Hiatus
July 17, 2008 | By Andrew G.R. | Leave a Comment
I’m back after a three-week bout of NoBloggingitis (be careful, it might be contagious). I never intended not to blog. Simply put, life just got in the way. The big event in my life was selling my place and moving into a new one. While I expected it to be stressful, [...]
Female Bloggers Want Out of Playboy Poll
July 17, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | 3 Comments
Veronica Belmont and Sarah Austin wants out of the sexiest female bloggers poll on Playboy, according to a story on TechCrunch, but Playboy says no. It would, of course disrupt the poll. While I have no love for these kind of polls, and the Playboy one is no exception, I do think that if you’ve [...]

Nice podcast! Cheers! I’ll be a listening to them as they appear. And the sound was fabulous this time around.
Nice stuff Matt, such an improvement in just one week - what you need to do after you get settled in with this podcastig thing is do a behind the scenes podc/video of TBH podcast - let’s see the setup.
I must applaud The Blog Herald for being “on the ground” at WordCamp for bloggers that can’t get to these things - do you now how much it costs to travel to the States from Australia :-( - we gotta watch these things from afar.
I’m quite surprised that some other blog news sites didn’t do much covering - really surprised.
And damn it, I now must re-evaluate this Krug dude ;-) - a few things he said in the interview “really” caught my attention.
Thanks for the feedback Jessica!
It’s amazing the difference in sound between a simple headset and a more professional rig. I can’t say enough about the folks at Podcastrigs, who have some great example setups and resources on their blog & forums!

I was taping some segments last night to use on rainy days. One of them was a rundown of the gear that’s in our setup now and how we make it work together. It’s about 5-6 minutes long… we’ll definately use it at some point.
And I gotta get some pictures.. but first I need to clean up in here. ;)
Thanks! That was our goal and it looks like it paid off well - pretty nice traffic over the last few days… and alot of positive press for us.. we like that ;-)
I was suprised too at the lack of coverage.
I keep telling everyone that folks underestimate David… :)
