WordPress and MediaWiki are part of the digital mix:

Great interview of WordPress’s Matt Mullenweg

The interviewer asks all the good questions.

The new URL of his blog: http://www.markxdavies.com/

His Twitter: http://twitter.com/markxdavies

A portrait of him (BetFair circa).

3 years later, Mark Davies finally sees the light. — [Better late than never.]

My 2 minutes (and 4 seconds) of fame – [VIDEO]

Google’s Matt Cutts answers my SEO question:

On your WordPress.org blog (mattcutts.com), why did you switch from domainname.com/year/month/day/sample-post/ to domainname.com/postname/ ? Has this to do with how PageRank flows within a site?

PubSubHubbub + PuSHPress

Chris F. Masse — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 10:33:11 +0000

I have just installed the PuSHPress plugin, and this post is a test to see whether it works. If yes, this post should be indexed quickly by Google Reader (and other feed readers).

Filed in “Real-Time Web“.

UPDATE: I am so impressed, I could lay an egg. A brand-new post appears in Google Reader within seconds. I can’t believe it.

UPDATE 2: Any small editing is immediately fetched by Google Reader (provided it is done on the last 10 posts). Amazing.

The P2 experiment ended up in a total fiasco.

Chris F. Masse — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 07:59:42 +0000

P2 sucked too much of the server resources.

P2 is out.

And I have plenty of technicalities to address.

How to use P2 on Midas Oracle

Chris F. Masse — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 13:43:42 +0000

I have modified things a bit so you, guys, don’t post (as Niall has just done) using the quick blog editor on the frontpage. I want you to use the blog editor, inside WordPress.

(The quick blog editor on the frontpage outputs posts without any post title. I don’t like that.)

- Use the frontpage to comment directly on stories.

- Now, if you want to publish a post (as opposed to a comment), go inside WordPress. Save your post. And then ask me, so I can finesse the tags and categories before publication.

UPDATE: P2 is out. It sucked too much of the server resources.

Midas Oracle is thankful for P2 — a new WordPress theme (a.k.a., blog layout) that smoothes the reading and writing of comments.

Chris F. Masse — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:30:32 +0000

- On the frontpage and on the tag/category pages, the comments will appear listed below the post. No need to download the post to read the (favorable or unfavorable) comments.

- If you are a registered user and have just logged in, you can comment directly on the frontpage or on the tag/category pages. No need to open the post to publish your own comment.

- I will be finessing the sidebar and the pages in the coming days. Patience, please. Contact me if you spot an horrific bug that prevents you from digesting your Thanksgiving turkey.

Addendum: WordPress‘s P2

UPDATE: P2 is out. It sucked too much of the server resources.
