A recent hack at Automattic at root level is scary for any dedicated users of their hosted services. Matt writes about it on the wp.com blog. Scary stuff, I’m sure they’re doing their best to secure everything even further.
I did not see this one coming, but congratulations to the WordPress.com team, and to Spaces users who can finally migrate to a decent platform. Wow, this is huge.
Automattic’s collaboration focused theme P2 is great and all, but it’s not perfect. For one the localization is poor, and I’d like it to support decent top navigations, as well as use all these new fancy features we got in WordPress 3.0.
So here’s the plan. I’ll either build a new theme inspired by P2, or fork the current one to add this functionality. Whichever I feel like, basically – that’s the beauty of open source after all. However, this is your chance to shine.
I’m happy to see that the WordPress trademark now resides with the WordPress Foundation rather than with Automattic. Makes sense, good call Matt & Co.!

Hosted blog comments and why I went with Disqus

That being said, I’m rolling Disqus on this site, the first public one for me actually.
I went with a hosted comment solution for 5 main reasons. Continued →
