i thought we beat this thing pretty good the last time we had it out? i guess not. When the producers of halo: the movie hire the skins factory to design them a wordpress theme, can we sell tickets to watch garry conn's head explode?

kristin posted about being listed as one of the top 20 chicago bloggers. internets being what they are, i figured i had an obligation to do better than 59^th next year. So, I listed this blog on chicagobloggers, too. After filling out their form, i copied the ping address, and went to my options panel.

apparently pinging anything other than ping-o-mattic is now illegal. between nofollow being disavowed and the atom API turnabout, wank's post should've been tagged 2007 predictions. apparently it's more confusing to have users accidentally ping services more than once, than to try to explain why wp.com is more crippled than any other blogging service.

courtesy of the announcement of the custom image header API (which is awesome), we can now see new themes in the pipeline for wordpress.com:

they're still predominantly blue, although Derek's October Special was originally lilac, and claims to be able to switch colors. i see that it's based on Ozh's theme toolkit, though. In most other cases, that options panel has been 'normalized' out, so we'll see.
