Publicize: Facebook — Images

Fri, 16 Jul 2010 22:46:27 +0200

Back in February, we launched Publicize: Facebook as a way to connect your WordPress.com account to your Facebook profile. In March, VideoPress added support for Facebook so that when using Publicize, your videos would get added to your Facebook update as well. Until now, we’ve neglected your images. Starting today, however, we’ll cherish your images as much as we already do your text and video; when sending a Facebook Profile update, WordPress.com will include any image you upload to the ...

Phone Your Blog

Thu, 01 Jul 2010 21:16:46 +0200

A broken telephone I saw while wandering around Bangkok It’s happened to all of us. The night starts off innocently enough with a little gin and tonic, maybe a mojito, then next thing you know you’re doing tequila shots with the bartender and the girl from Brazil and you find yourself thinking it would be a treMENdous idea to call up your ex and see how they’re doing and perhaps impress them with your newfound wit. We’ve got the cure. Now, instead of drunk dialing random ...

Downtime

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 12:28:06 +0200

As some of you noticed, including a number of major media organizations, WordPress.com had some unexpected downtime on Thursday evening. Whether you’re eating delicious BBQ, as I was, watching a marathon, or about to post your opus, downtime is an annoying interruption and we hate it. This had nothing to do with our network providers, or data centers, or aliens, it was completely our fault. A single line, nay, a single character out-of-place, slipped by our normal review and testing ...

New Theme: Andrea

Wed, 09 Jun 2010 22:24:12 +0200

Our newest theme is Andrea, a gorgeously minimal two-column theme with an unusual blue color scheme. Click to view slideshow. Though the design may seem simple on the surface, once you try it you will appreciate its flexibility. I love Andrea both for its elegance and for its level of customization, and I think you will, too. This theme includes two layout choices. The default layout is wide, yet flexible: the main column becomes wider or narrower depending on the ...

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 22:12:11 +0200

Back in March when we announced Gravatar-powered profiles on WordPress.com, your profile page remained private so that only you could access it.

Making Redirects Permanent

Thu, 27 May 2010 04:12:50 +0200

On WordPress.com, you start with a standard WordPress.com domain name for your blog which looks something like this – example.wordpress.com. You then have the option of upgrading to a custom mapped domain such as example.com. The good news is by setting example.com as your primary domain, all your visitors who try to access your old example.wordpress.com links automatically get redirected to the new domain. But what about search engines and other services that access the old example.wordpress.com links ? Up ...

Today we’re giving the shortcode a makeover. The old shortcode would send an e-mail message to the author of the post or page. Now you can send the message to any e-mail address you wish. You can even send to multiple e-mail addresses. [contact-form to="you@me.com"] [contact-form to="you@me.com,me@you.com,us@them.com"] ...
