1000 things I’ve learned about blogging from the Online Journalism Blog.: An interesting and long-ish list of lessons that the author (I could not figure out who wrote this article from their list of authors. I am assuming it was Paul Bradshaw. Multi-author blogs really, really need to think about adding the name of the author to their templates/themes.) has learned from blogging. Some of them are absolute gems such as “First knowledge, then analysis, then ideas” and “A blog without comments is broken“. More food for thought would come from the conversations surrounding such a list. I will add one of my own. If you consider others’ opinions, you will have involved and returning readers. What have you learned about blogging?

commonspace: Mark Surman, incumbent Executive Director of the Mozilla Foundation is now blogging on WordPress (.com) after having mostly successfully moved his Typepad blog to WordPress.

Hot in the heels of our own WordPress Plugin Competition (of which the results should be declared very soon), the folks at WPMU.org are running a WordPress MU plugin competition! The competition is already very much underway, with almost US$1500 worth of prizes already pledged and 8 great plugins submitted, ranging from XML-RPC add ons to simple domain mapping. And there’s still a month to go (entries close September 24th), so get your MU hats on and submit your best and brightest! The process is much the same as at Weblog Tools Collection. Plugin authors can register at the site and write up their own plugins for publication, guidelines and more on that can be found here. Then there will be prizes (and some rather snazzy badges) for judged and peoples choice winners and ranking entries. If you’re interested in adding to the prize pool, Andrew and James would love […]

Firefly’s Chat-On-A-Webpage Goes Live.: Found via GigaOm, Firefly is a cool little Javascript app that sits on tops of your blog or webpage and allows unfettered chatting and interaction ability for visitors. I have enabled it on WeblogToolsCollection for the time being for people to check it out. Enable at the bottom of the page (look for a small bar), click anywhere on the page and chat away! If you want to put it on your own blog, visit firef.ly WARNING: It is addictive in an “Ooo! Shiny!” sort of way. 🙂 [EDIT] Now gone from this blog. Please use the demo on the firef.ly page to test it out.

Slickdeals.net Blog: Slickdeals recently started a new “Slickblog” with WordPress. They seem to have put together a pretty seamless integeration between WordPress and their highly complex vBulletin installation and the comments on their blog are redirected to the main forums. I really like their sidebar items, including their hot topics by ratings and up and coming topics by the number of comments.
