Me and WordPress.com

Matt finally reveals what perhaps a few people have known or suspected for quite a while. I’m working with him, Andy and Ryan on WordPress.com.
I am very very happy with what we’ve achieved so far and can’t wait to get cracking on the new features planned!

That does explain why I don’t post as often here. I’m too busy. I’ve got a text file full of links that I haven’t read, but I do manage to post one photo every day on my photoblog. That’s a great outlet for my photo creativity!

(Thanks Donal for that link correction!)

What's this WordPress.com thing anyway?

Lots of people are asking about WordPress.com, fortunately for them there has been lots said about it already, both on the wp-hackers list, and on the WPMU blog. Usually without much feedback which I have found strange, but there you go!
The question comes up on IRC frequently, and here’s what I said a short while ago:

<donncha> it’s just WordPress.. if you already run a WordPress blog then you know a lot about what WordPress.com will be 🙂

It’s that, but also more. WordPress.com is going to be a great site and a shining example of what can be built on GPL software!
