June 20, 2008 – 4:12 pm
Today is the end of week 4 of coding for WordPress’s Google Summer of Code. It’s hard to believe it has already been 4 weeks, and there are only 2.5 weeks until the half way mark. This year, we’re running a tighter program and I think the results will speak for themselves.

I’m Biased, But Try Movable Type and Drupal
March 13, 2008 – 9:29 am
Anil Dash has written an article titled “A WordPress 2.5 Upgrade Guide” on the official movabletype.com blog. It is full of misdirection, and, thankfully, overall it hasn’t been well received.
