Disconnected 1.3 is out. It includes support for WordPress 2.3's native tagging, and preliminary support for WordPress 2.5's get_avatar() function. I know I said I'd never support gravatars1, but since they're going native in 2.5, there's no point in fighting anymore. At least once 2.5 is released, I can write a plugin to use MyBlogLog Avatars instead.

The design vitality WordPress Theme Contest ended, with some actual results. I'm kind of shocked. But then, they did add their own spammy footer link to the themes, which is also shocking, but more what I expected from the outset.

The Lunarpages contest, however, has not yet published results. This is because, like the many wordpress theme contests before it, it has ended in bitterness and accusations.

There's a new theme for habari, I think it's the first fully original theme. It's a beauty, evoking the sleek monochromatic habari dashboard, and including a bunch of custom plugins. It's called Charcoal, and it's hosted on google code, although the code isn't up there, so there's no SVN updating.

1. Since they provide identity without authentication, a sure recipe for abuse
