For those that are on WordPress.com, Matt and the Automattic team introduced their new Ad-Free version of WordPress.com for a modest fee of 30 credits per year or $0.08 per day. Matt explains the reasoning behind the existence of the ads on WordPress.com and Lorelle writes up us a nice tutorial on how to activate this feature and some information on the ads themselves.
In other cool WordPress news, the WordPress for iPhone app has been downloaded over 100,000 times! Ranaan, who I met for the first time in SF this year and is BBQ averse :), provides a breakdown of the downloads across countries and then runs down a list of new features that are being worked on for version 1.2 including landscape mode, comment moderation and enhanced image options.
Hey Mark —
Thanks for the mention re: the WordPress for iPhone app. As you mentioned, we’ve got some great new features like landscape mode and comment moderation in the works for the next release and it will be interesting to see the activity around the app once that’s live.
Oh, and for the record, I love BBQ — I think you are confusing me with someone else 🙂
cheers.
🙂 I might have been mistaken, there were a lot of new faces at the SF WordCamp.
I won’t call them out, but we even have vegetarians on the team these days 😉
Any chance of getting a Wordpres app for Symbian S60 phones?
why not just say $30 a year? I dont think the credit thing is too good!
