Close to 4 years ago trademark policy with WordPress was confusing.
Automattic registered the WordPress trademark and began sending out letters to domain owners who provided goods and services around the WordPress brand.
They actually started sending out these letters and emails before the trademark was even published for opposition.

Having criticized the new retweet or “tweet” button that Twitter have introduced, lets see if we can make it better.
This mainly covers WordPress – if you are on another platform, find a geek that uses it to try to do the equivalent, but I doubt this is possible on Blogger.

The sales page for Thesis no longer mentions footer links though the license agreement isn’t available in public.
The sales page for Headway still requires attribution, subject to the license agreement – but the Headway Theme license agreement is available for public viewing.

I am going to prepend this by saying up front that I typically disagree with Matt Mullenweg on many decisions

I love teasing Jack Humphrey as in many ways it is like the student testing his new prowess on the master that taught him. I learnt a lot from Jack in my early days and whilst when I first started online I couldn’t afford to join his then “Authority Site Center” that still didn’t prevent me emulating many of the systems that they had in place.

I am still working on some stuff with dynamic tracking links, but if you are using WordPress for PPC you might also need to think about dynamic content.
I know there are a number of WordPress Themes and plugins that claim they are intended for use with PPC, but they are not going to solve dynamic keyword insertion, and that could have a massive effect on conversion rates & quality score.

It is no huge secret that I have had this WordPress blog hacked twice this year but some consolation is that I am not alone.
Alex recently launched a DVD course on WordPress security that is available for FREE + shipping
Stop – I know what you are thinking – FREE + Shipping these days normally comes with lots of strings attached, forced continuity often hidden etc. Whilst Alex does cross-sell a few related products, the main offer is genuinely free.

This is in many ways one of the most painful blog posts I could write, because it is about a service that is the closest anyone has come in 4 years to the “software as a service platform” I would like to create.
The business model is totally different but the front end seems to have many of the features and attention to detail that I would require, and to be honest much of what I want to achieve on the backend & network effect isn’t necessary for many business users.
If what I want to create is a lion, Quansite is a tiger – different animals, different prey – both killers and could probably co-exist.
Quansite is a WordPress based blogging platform for business, but calling it that is really doing it a bit of a disservice.
It is the kind of system that will take a huge bite out of the business of high-priced website development shops targeting small business, because so much is done for you.
There are a couple of WordPress themes I know of which can claim drag and drop, but they are not designed for creating sales pages & one-time offers, or “touch of a button” squeeze page creation.

Just a quick note for anyone who has been missing updates for the last couple of weeks.
I am not sure exactly what changed within WordPress 2.8.4 to cause this but for a large segment of my readers there might not have been any visible updates on RSS feeds since around 6th September.
