I just noticed wordpress now has an ‘upgrades’ option on the admin page. This allows access to certian features by purchasing credits via paypal. A very good idea and I hope it works well for WordPress.
Currently for $15 USD you can access the custom CSS plugin that is included in the download of WordPress for a year. I think if the wordpress hosting suits you this is a very worthwhile upgrade and it is something I’m considering. I’ve been wanting to host myself for some time, but as I only need to host this blog at the moment it hasn’t been worthwhile to get a hosting account, and I like the community integration. I’d like to host some friends blogs though which would give me more reason to set up on my own.
I might load this theme on my local server and have a play with the CSS styles and see what I come up with! I’m not much of a designer but I’d like to change some colours, fonts etc.
There is another new feature, ‘Tag surfer’ which displays recent blog posts with the same categories as you have. I have found some great blogs tonight so look forward to using this more!
Time to get some sleep I think!
…and I’m still copy pasting!

I’m not too sure actually! Either that or from a link on a featured blog

Love the CCS plugin availability too, that was no1 on my wish list , allowing theme uploads being second
. And introducing the credits system is a great idea, It’s good to be able to give back

How about the MyComments?
I love this one.

Yeah it makes it very easy to keep track, the new features add a great community feel and I like that! I would like the ability to filter the tag surfer to only show english blogs though, and maby the ability to view more?
