There looks to be a few minor issues cropping up with the new version of WordPress. I’m in no rush to upgrade and I’d advise anyone considering it to research all the potential issues before doing so. I suspect most of these minor bugs will be cleared up over the next week or so as […]

Baseball blogs?
Not sure why I’m on a baseball tangent today. It’s not like my team (the Pittsburgh Pirates) is doing very well this year. I just read an intriguing post though at Om Malik’s site theorizing that Six Apart and Major League Baseball have a baseball blog project in the works called mlblogs.com. Very interesting and […]

Yahoo 360 Review
I’ve had a chance to use the new Yahoo! 360 (thanks Mindsack) and the following is my review. I can’t say that I’m terribly impressed with Yahoo 360 and I will not be using it anytime soon for blogging. Everyone is comparing it to other blogging tools, but I’m not sure if that is an […]
