How Matt Mullenweg works

How Matt Mullenweg, the guy behind WordPress and Automattic, works. Not going to lie, I’d like to trade places with the man.

Jane Hamsher announces that FireDogLake is going to have a user diary section, called Oxdown Gazette. Thats cool but honestly I’m more interested in the custom WordPress install they are going to use to power it.

Release Candidate 1 of WordPress 2.5 is out. Matt gives a preview of whats in store here. I’m going to join Matt in saying my favorite new feature is probably going to be the full-screen “Write” option.

WordPress 2.5 has been delayed till March 17th from its original release date of the 10th. Though its annoying to have to wait for it, hopefully this will give Matt and his team enough time to put out a well-polished product.

I actually like the fact that there are different buttons for “save and continue editing” and “save”, but I completely agree with the trashing of the media manager, its awful to use. Also, there is way too much clutter, I [...]

Michael Heilemann, in a screencast (a somewhat painful to sit through 30 minutes), takes apart the WordPress dashboard and widget system. Makes some good points, hope Automattic is listening. Supposedly 2.5 has a redesigned dashboard, interesting to see if it addresses any of Heilemann’s concerns.

34 of the Technorati 100 use Wordpress as their CMS. (via Matt)

Absolutely loving the “Wordbook” WordPress plugin/Facebook application. Highly recommend it. Doesn’t handle asides well and kind of crowds the Mini NewsFeed but otherwise golden, does exactly what I wanted and much better then importing Notes.
