Some thoughts about wordpress

Hm, so I’m clicking around here… I see that Word Press has a way to import posts from other systems, like Blogger and Livejournal. I will have to check that out. It’s interesting that you don’t have to go in and search around in all kinds of html and div tags to add links to your blogroll… Interesting.

Tomorrow is Word Camp. I am kinda sick and shouldn’t be closed up in one building with poeple all day. Plus my house is dirty and if I feel better I really need to go to the gym. It sucks, cuz I could hang out at it with Bradley. Also, I finally looked at the list of suggested workshops, and I see some interesting things, like “Word Press as a CMS for Indymedia” (which i have an opinion about, similar to my opinion about Drupal. I’m partly biased since my partner had a lot to do with developing and expanding on sf-active for Indybay). Folks who are starting up a Women’s Indymedia site are still arguing back and forth between Mir and Drupal and whatever else as a CMS. I hate Mir. Sorry.

I’d also be interested in “WordSchool: Blogs In Health — Tips for patients or health care providers in starting a blog about health topics. Introduction to the community of medbloggers. How to avoid privacy violations.” And “Information Warfront For Bloggers — Tips and update about information warfront between blogger and media” and stuff. I guess that one of the things they were talking about was podcasts and stuff from the conference. That’d be good.

Aww, I just noticed that one of the people who won’t be able to be there is Josh Wolf.” How sad. I’ve been doing a lot of coverage of his case.
