Getting notifications on comments
If you are a public commenter on a WP blog you don’t get any notifications when someone else comments on the same post even though you are generally required to leave an email address. After seeking advice on this from twitter both @nlafferty and @cristinacost told me about the Subscribe to Comments plugin http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2009/01/09/subscribe-to-comments-plugin-now-on-wordpresscom/. I have installed it on a digress.it blog and here and after quick tests on both seems to work OK. Full report later if any problems occur.
WordPress 3
Copied from http://wordpress.org/development/2010/06/thelonious/
“Arm your vuvuzelas: WordPress 3.0, the thirteenth major release of WordPress and the culmination of half a year of work by 218 contributors, is now available for download (or upgrade within your dashboard). Major new features in this release include a sexy new default theme called Twenty Ten. Theme developers have new APIs that allow them to easily implement custom backgrounds, headers, shortlinks, menus (no more file editing), post types, and taxonomies. (Twenty Ten theme shows all of that off.) Developers and network admins will appreciate the long-awaited merge of MU and WordPress, creating the new multi-site functionality which makes it possible to run one blog or ten million from the same installation. As a user, you will love the new lighter interface, the contextual help on every screen, the 1,217 bug fixes and feature enhancements, bulk updates so you can upgrade 15 plugins at once with a single click, and blah blah blah just watch the video.”
