I entered 7dayshop.com because of my previous experience with them but the only negative result was the lack of a Trustmark certificate. I’m glad the first link of the Google search points at my 7dayshop.com post. 🙂

- FSF release GNU Affero GPL to address using GPLed software on public servers. The GPL requires code to be distributed if the software is made public, but there’s a loophole. Code running on a web server is more like a service. The code stays on the server and therefore code does not have to be made public. GNU Affero GPL rectifies that problem. However, if WordPress was licensed under such a license anyone who uses it would have to release any modifications they make. Read the post for more details about why the loophole still exists in GPL 3.

That Snap! thumbnail jobbie is a great tip! [Thinking out loud] I wonder if you can use an iframe for Snap!’s wiki previews? Like Snap! itself, I have a feeling I’ll be thumbnailing everything in posts for about 2 weeks and then never use it again.
Haha. Could be a WordPress plugin in that. Shouldn’t be too hard to grab the Alexa screenshot either..
I’m glad somebody found my Snap thumbnail grab tutorial useful. Thanks for linking to it.
