Wow, I just got a “golden ticket” to use WordPress.com. I signed up aaages ago when nobody really knew what WordPress.com was. Well, it’s a hosting site à la TypePad. Oh, and it’s free (so maybe more like a good version of Blogger, I guess). And it uses WordPress of course. So if you don’t already use WordPress there isn’t much excuse now! 😉
It’s pretty impressive. The admin area is lovely. I assume this is a sneak preview of WordPress 1.6. It’s all looking great. There are plenty of good features to get your teeth sunk into. Just about everything you can think of apart from plugins and the ability to edit your theme. Still, there’s a nice little range of themes to choose from. There’s wysiwyg editing, if that’s your sort of thing, and all sorts of drag-and-drop wonderfulness. There’s even a referrers section in it. It’s all easy peasy to use aswell.
Anyway, overall WordPress.com is pretty good if you’re into that sort of thing, and I’ve got an invitation to give away aswell. One was sold on eBay for $50 or something. Of course, like with Gmail, now that I’ve got one the supply must have skyrocketed (when I tried to sell Gmail accounts on eBay they sold for £1)!
