Getting ready for Wordpress 2.0.5

October 20, 2006 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Filed Under Blog Software

Thereâ€™s a Release Candidate for Wordpress 2.0.5 out (via wp-testers list) which means the actual launch of this particular version is closing in. Mark has put together a list on the most important changes in 2.0.5 so if youâ€™re a developer you might want to check those out.

All you regular users need not to fret. Itâ€™s nothing groundbreaking here as far as I can see.

I was hoping to see something like .. when you add a thumbnail image, it stops defaulting it to height=96 and forgetting to add the /A closer. These two things irritate me to no end.

You should get the ImageManager plugin and here’s why. That solves everything for ya!

A BIG Reason to Read a Pet’s Blog
May 16, 2008 | By Andrew G.R. | Leave a Comment

I’ve often taken a snarky approach when it comes to people who set up blogs for their pets. I barely want to read about humans’ mundane lives, let alone issues with litter and pooper scoopers. However, there might be a new reason to subscribe to Lucky, Fido or Buddy’s blog.
Animals’ ability to prognosticate […]

Yahoo Nabs Safari Plugin Inquisitor
May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

Inquisitor is a cool plugin for Safari, and now Yahoo owns it. The developer, David Watanabe, won’t be joining Yahoo, but will continue the development.
I look forward to assisting Yahoo! in refining and extending the Inquisitor user experience beyond where it is today. I truly believe that Inquisitor and its users can only benefit, both […]

For example, uploaders can see how often their videos are viewed in […]

Google the New Number 1 in the US

I thought they were already, but obviously not so. Google has been the leading search engine, but overall Yahoo is the most popular web site according to ComScore’s rankings. No more though, according to an AP report:
According to comScore, Google’s unique U.S. audience in April was 141.1 million, an 18 percent increase from the same […]

Blogging from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

Stephanie Stockman is a NASA contractor working at the Goddard Space Flight Center, which is cool by itself. What’s even cooler is that she’s blogging it, talking about rocketships in voice and text, as well as posting photos, something every space nerd should follow for sure. Her blog is Geosteph, which incidentally is her Twitter […]

SocialMediaPop Mashes Social Media Sites
May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

Ryan Caldwell, of Performancing fame, had an idea:
Why not build a tool that only shows the stories that went popular on at least two social voting sites?
The result, via Suffolk Software, is SocialMediaPop. Cool project, in beta for now. I wonder what the social media sites think of services like this?
