Import atom feeds into WordPress: A quick and dirty script (modified the existing import-rss.php script) to import atom entries. It is tested on WordPress 1.5. May work for 1.2. The author used it to import blogger entries that he could not FTP off.

Weblog Tools Market – Update February 2005: As collected from Google, technorati and a couple of other aggregation sources. The analysis is detailed but the data collection methods are somewhat flawed in my opinion. Hosted services continue to dominate the blogging market but the increase in overall numbers is quite encouraging. There are some interesting takes on this analysis. Livejournal, Typepad and MT together seem to be part of the largest blog provider in the market. Well crafted strategic decisions made by Moveable Type seem to be paying off. Thanks Threadwatch

WordPress 1.5 Release Party through the lens of iChat: This guy had a bunch of friends at the SF WordPress 1.5 release party (I am guessing at Photomatt’s) and his friends dialed him up on iChat to share in the excitement! Check out the hazy picture of Matt waving to the camera!

WP 1.5 : Fix for quicktags: If your quicktags do not appear in Safari, here is a quick fix from the forums to get around that issue.

I have received a fairly large number of requests recently, asking for instructions on how to setup the “LinkyLoo” (or asides or small posts) category of this blog. They are a highly hacked series of implementations of Photomatt’s Asides. Fortunately for everyone, Podz has come to the rescue (again) and has a detailed set of instructions on how to set up Asides on your WordPress install. These instructions should work for WordPress 1.2 through the recent 1.5. Here is Photomatt’s writeup on his Asides implementation. There is also a plugin available from Rusty called Rustasides which does the same without having to modify any code. Rustaside is also compatible with WordPress 1.5. Finally, to post links, I browse to a page and use the “WordPress Bookmarklet” to add posts to the “LinkyLoo” category. Viola!

Got Blog?: WordPress 1.5 StrayHorn was released today (late yesterday?) and it is time for everyone to see what the fuss is about. Get your download while it is hot. WordPress upgrade parties are événements du jour! Podz has an excellent page on detailed upgrade instructions. The developer notes for WordPress 1.3/1.5 should be a good starting point for a changelog if anyone is interested.
