Domain sillyness:
Don’t be foogled once you’ve googled those google-likes. The domain googled.com forwards to google.com. The domain foogled.com is parked. So is noogled.com. The domain moogled.com forwards to a fantasy site, and the domain woogled.com goes to woogle which is currently a broken mySQL mess.
poogled.com is a search site wannabe with Winnie the Pooh links included? roogled.com is an online contacts manager, and hoogled.com is for sale.
Hurry:
boogled.com is currently expired, and coogled.com, koogled.com, toogled.com, voogled.com, and yoogled.com are available.
Whew! Googling is a rabbit hole.
That’s blogging briefs, not blogging in your briefs. Hey, take me to the alter.

The Page Order feature is currently not functioning as expected on a Wordpress.com blog.
You should be able to change the page order in the Manage, Pages, Edit pages window. There is a ‘Page Order’ selection to the right of the Page edit window. Select the plus sign to expand and set the order of each page, 1, 2, 3, etc.
Update 05/23/06:
In Wordpress.com the failure to set page order is theme dependent. Some themes display the page order correctly, like Regulus V2.1.3 and some do not, like White As Milk 1.0. You can work around this glitch by numbering your page title names like so, 1. FirstPage Name, 2. SecondPage Name, 3. ThirdPage Name. A bit hokey, but it works. The numbers will order the pages.
Note: I sent a Feedback to Wordpress about this.
Regard the Page Order + feature on the edit Page view. When I update page order, it seems to only reorder the pages on the Manage, Pages view within the blog admin, but does NOT reorder the pages that are displayed on the live blog.
I would think this feature would update the order of Pages as seen on the blog, yes?
So bottom line, currently you cannot change the page order that is displayed in the sidebar of your weblog.
Maybe this is theme dependent? No time now to test page reordering on more themes.
The Akismet Wordpress plugin for comment-spam takes care of bidness.
The Akismet plugin is included with a Wordpress.com hosted blog, but previously if you wanted to activate the Akismet plugin on your own self-hosted Wordpress.org installation, you needed to create an account and a blog on Wordpress.com to get the API key for Akismet. Now you can simply register an account without a blog being automatically set up.
Structured Blogging plugins for Wordpress and Movable Type
‘The difference between a typical blog post and a structured entry is that the Structured Blogging content is published in machine-readable format, so that other services can understand it. Indeed it builds on RSS and Atom standards.’

Google Blog Search and IceRocket - This is how I find stuff. I can never figure out why people continue to use Technorati, PubSub and Feedster, which IMHO are severaly broken. Just tell me who is linking to me (Google and IceRocket). Thanks!
The Shuttle has launched. The Shuttle Project focuses on a redesign of the Wordpress administration panel.
Phil Sim says OPML won’t catch on.

‘Yesterday, I was convinced that Technorati was an excellent system, oh, such a beautiful and elegant system. A delight to use and running like a well-oiled machine. Today I think it’s broken, oh so broken. It’s the most vile, corrupt system, and the whole thing is’
Rank This. We don’t need no stinkin’ Technorati.
