TypeWorks: Looks like this is a Typepad you can install on your own server. Anyone have any experience with this? I sure would like to have a looksee around the insides.

Google Maps – Launched: My first reaction after I searched for Toledo, Ohio (no jokes)…”Oh My Lord! They are so good at programming, aren’t they?!?”. Is this the end of the road for Mapquest and other online mapping/trip services?

phpBB Hacked – Developers Locked Out | Threadwatch.org: Again through awstats and this time the developers cannot get into the server, even in single user mode. Please, please, please, if you are running a version of awstats on your server/account, make sure it is at the latest code and your stats are locked out from the rest of the world.

Introducing: Tagback: An alternative to trackbacks. What do you think? Are trackbacks and pingbacks so much of a nuisance (considering the recent wave of trackback spam) that we have to resort to filtering tags through online aggregators to create a blogosphere? Can XFN be extended to support some of this?

Not only does GnomeBlog now support WordPress, but now there is a feature for Drag and Drop of pictures. Thanks ftfuchs

Jeremy had posted a small tutorial on creating the “possibly related stuff” search for Movable Type blogs and I converted it into a small plugin that can be downloaded here. The plugin is really simple and it adds a link to stuff that is possibly related. I dont know how useful it will be for everyone, information is always good. Please post bugs here. To install just copy to your wp-content/plugins folder and activate. This blog has a link generated for every permalinked page for testing.

The One Click Backup Plugin for WordPress 1.5 and above is ready. I have incorporated all the work done by Ryan Boren and Bob Apthorpe into it. Some of the added features of this version includes: A tweaked and modified PEAR/Tar interface that does not require passthru for file backup. Now users with passthru disabled and users on Windows systems can safely use this plugin. Security suggestions of Bob have been added to the readme, so please read through those carefully. The MySql backup is done through code and not through passthru. Again, passthru deficient systems and windows systems will benefit. Simple plugin install, no code to be modified. Just copy the files around, create a directory and activate the plugin. Backup folder will NOT get recursively backed up. PS: Passthru is not needed in this version, no special tools needed on server to perform backup. Download the plugin zip […]

WordPress Plugin: Comment Quicktags: Owen strikes again with a “comment quickags” plugin for WordPress. This adds the ability of commenters to use little clickable buttons to format XHTML in their comments. Thanks BloggingPro
