Our favorite blogging platform has released version 2.2 according to Matt. Here are the features:
- WordPress Widgets allow you to easily rearrange and customize areas of your weblog (usually sidebars) with drag-and-drop simplicity. This functionality was originally available as a plugin Widgets are now included by default in the core code, significantly cleaned up, and enabled for the default themes.
- Full Atom support, including updating our Atom feeds to use the 1.0 standard spec and including an implementation of the Atom Publishing API to complement our XML-RPC interface.
- A new Blogger importer that is able to handle the latest version of Google’s Blogger product and seamlessly import posts and comments without any user interaction beyond entering your login.
- Infinite comment stream, meaning that on your Edit Comments page when you delete or spam a comment using the AJAX links under each comment it will bring in another comment in the background so you always have 20 items on the page. (I know it sounds geeky, but try it!)
- We now protect you from activating a plugin or editing a file that will break your blog.
- Core plugin and filter speed optimizations should make everything feel a bit more snappy and lighter on your server.
- We’ve added a hook for WYSIWYG support in a future version of Safari.

Better take a look at your plugins before upgrading to the new version of WordPress 2.1. You have lots of time, but if you are a plugin developer you better start taking a look at the codebase and the codex ASAP.

Did you know that for over a year, Big in Japan has provided WordPress support services to clients both large and small. Automattic, the company behind WordPress, partnered with Big in Japan last year.
Specifically, we have experience supporting WordPress based blogs hosted on our systems or on those of other vendors including WordPress.com. We also have experience integrating CSS and HTML from great designers such as Mule Design and Hyku into WordPress. Finally, we have built and customized various plugins to make WordPress work the way you need it.
If it is WordPress we can help (sorry we don’t do MovableType*). From custom development, installation and support we can make your blog big in Japan ~ big wherever you want…
*we can; however, migrate your MT blog to WordPress!

Jack Slocum mashedup WordPress’s comment system with Yahoo!’s UI. Very neat project as Jack describes,
I think it turned out to be a perfect example of what can be done in a very small amount of time with Yahoo UI and YAHOO.ext. In a day’s worth of work, I have completely transformed the comments system on this site. Around half of that time was spent on the user interface, and the other half modifying WordPress to do the things it needed to do on the backend.
The system looks nice and it speeds up page loads as the comments are posted via Ajax. NICE!

I’ve always loved having Like It Matters as my personal blog to use to cover subjects not quite right for Weblogs Work. Now, I’ve finally started some clean-up on that site, moved it to a more logical URL (http://www.brianoberkirch.com) and started fresh with the latest version of WordPress. Playing with themes now, but maybe I’ll get one of my rockstar design pals to do something funky fresh at some point.
Here is the new blog. Here is the new feed.
