WordPress 2.3 en Español: Alex has translated WordPress 2.3 into Spanish. Though a few more bugfixes might go into WordPress Beta 3, I believe it is mature enough that there will be few mismatches with the translation. Go grab the .mo file from Alex’s blog and follow his instructions to setup WordPress in Spanish. In related suggestions, have you upgraded to WordPress 2.2.3 yet

Managing Spam Maintenance with Akismet Auntie Spam Version 2: engtech has updated his “Akismet Auntie Spam” greasemonkey script. This new version has some nice improvements including collation of spam from the same IPs, grouping by sender, better usability and quite a few other slick new features. If a lot of spam gets caught in your Akismet plugin and you need to run through them quickly to weed out false positives, this script is the ticket. I have been using it since the original beta and I like it.

Internet Commenter Business Meeting: (NSFW) Satire of commenting on the Internet. This video reminds me of why so many people (including me) have stopped reading Slashdot. It surprises me to read some of the inane comments left on TechCrunch before I realize that they are just spammers who are trying to make their comments look related to the topic at hand. However, I take the good with the bad. I love comments and I try to actively engage people to comment. To me an interactive blog is an active blog and an active blog is a useful blog and is more fun to read. For example, I like Jonathan Swartz’s Blog a lot more now that he allows people to post comments.

Company bloggers can help put out fires: “This is what blogs are about. Everything has changed. We have to be transparent and honest. People are talking about this, they’re posting these images, we can’t ignore it. We have to deal with it directly.” That is a quote from the article by Lionel Menchaca who is Dell’s chief blogger. I could not agree more. Openness and transparency are the name of the game in corporate PR and will only be rewarded with accolades and public forgiveness. Though this is a somewhat jaded view of the world looking through rose colored glasses, I believe that blogs can be a fantastic vehicle for corporations to listen to their target audience and get their candid message across. There are lots of interesting examples in that article.

Are people more polite in virtual worlds?: Choice quote – IBM has 5,000 employees in Second Life, and according to Wladawsky-Berger, “virtual worlds are a godsend for meetings.” He said that IBM has a code of conduct for staff in Second Life that they need to “be nice” and dress their avatars “appropriately” in meetings. But when among friends in the virtual world, they can do whatever they like, he said. So, do you think you are more polite in the virtual world? Do you feel compelled to be more polite because the person you are dealing with might be a complete stranger? Or are you more polite because in the virtual world, everything is recorded and traceable and your heated diatribe might come back and bite you later? Many other interesting questions might be asked on this subject and I find the answers quite fascinating. A few socio-political studies […]

Blogging News, WordPress Templates WordPress Skins WordPress Themes

This is about a theme distribution site called Templatesbrowser dot com. I intentionally do not link to them. They are showcasing various authors’ themes and providing direct downloads for them. To make things much worse, they have added code to the footer of these themes that call the original site back and add hidden links to the themes once they are installed. It could also be used to run other malicious code. I strongly suggest that users stay away from downloading and using anything from them. This is pretty darn shady. Thanks to Milo, Derek and others for staying on top of this.

Blogging News, Cool Scripts

aideRSS is a feed filtering and classification system that was recently showcased on Read/WriteWeb. As usual, the RW writeup is in depth and the insights and the research are useful in understanding the purpose and the use of aideRSS. aideRSS uses a proprietary “PostRank” algorithm to categorize and rank the posts on a certain blog and gives a reader the ability to filter the most important and most attention grabbing topics from any feed or blog. PostRank is particular to each blog’s statistics and is not a universal algorithm. The resulting ranked lists can then be subscribed through any regular feedreader. For example, the “best posts” from WeblogToolsCollection’s feed are available through this feed. You can perform a similar analysis on your blog by using the simple search on the main page. You can also use the service to filter the feeds that you read in order to reduce clutter […]
