So after three months of WP.com, I’ve decided to move back to my own hosted WordPress blog. One reason for the move was so that I can beta test our Skribit widget, which can now be easily styled to blend perfectly to your site. Please give it a shot, and shoot us any feedback. Right now, this is a one off install, but I’m starting to put things together so that we can roll this new widget out to more testers.
Also, I felt that by moving to WP.com my blog got sort of bleh. I had to use from one of the provided themes, and was limited in the plugins and widgets I was able to use. It’s not like it was anything special before, but at least it wasn’t special by my choosing. So, I’m on my own again, using the WP Subversion installation that Paul recommended. I also bought this wicket cool theme that is very well done and supported. Now, I need to get some cool plugins – any recommendations?

I have to say this is a pretty spiffy theme. I almost wanted to buy it myself and not have to deal with misc browser issues that my own theme has..

I want that!
I mean it’s like twenty times lighter!
Thesis theme is getting lots of attention, nice one. What are you looking for to do with plugins? There are waaaay too much of them in total.
Rarst,
I’m not really a prolific blogger, so I’m looking for some plugins that will make my blog more of an interactive experience. Sometime fun, not too flashy where it’ll slow my page load.
The new widget is very close for a open beta – I’ll contact you with the details when it’s ready.

I am probably not a good advisor for such, I keep my blog light and most plugins I use are those that do invisible stuff in background.
Waiting for widget.
