In the latest build of WordPress you can get a look at the new widget management in WordPress 2.5, view large version.
Instead of the current [...]

René, the lead translator of WordPress DK, has an exiting post at wordpress.dk.
The Danish WordPress project has now been given a subsite at the official WordPress.org: da.wordpress.org.
I still think that most Danish users will end up on wordpress.dk (because of Google Rank and the forum which stays there) but none the less it's great with [...]

The lead translater of the Danish version of open source blogging software WordPress, René, writes on the official WordPress DK blog, that WordPress 2.4 has been cancelled.
The reason is that there are too many corrections to be made, and therefore WP 2.4 could not be ready until March. The next WordPress release will be 2.5, [...]

In the Danish corner of the blogosphere there's an interesting debate on how to measure the influence of a blog or more blogs.
The reason for the debate is some analytic work done by Swedish company Primelabs in cooperation with Danish company Cision.
They have tried to map the Danish blogosphere and find out, which blogs are [...]

This is kind of old news here in Denmark, but the Danish prime minister, Anders Fogh, is blogging. It's happening at blog.andersfogh.dk.
It's still not 100 percent clear that it's actually Anders Fogh who's doing the blogging, but it seems to be judging from the writing style in the posts.
As a fun fact, I've just read [...]

While I was checking out referrers to this blog I came across something called BlogRovR, which I had no idea what was.
BlogRovR is a service where to add all your favorite blogs. You can select packages and you can add other blogs you read — or both at the same time.
When you're done doing [...]

J.D. Lasica has written a post on how bloggers don't want to talk to reporters.
Often the bloggers say that they do this because they want to be in control of the quotation — they don't trust journalists on this.
All I can say to this is that only live talk interviews (either via phone or face [...]

Okay, you may have noticed the previous test post posting from the Flock browser.
Although it's really easy to post directly from Flock, I can't tag the posts with the Ultimate Tag Warrior tags (which I display here).
So I had to choose between posting from Flock and using the standard WordPress posting interface. I decided to [...]

I read somewhere that an average person meets 3000 pieces of information throughout the day. I guess the number is way higher for A-list blogger Robert Scoble.
Check out this video of how he follows 622 feeds a day.
That's just damn impressive!

Okay, so I knew that a lot of the blogs in the blogosphere are spam blogs, but I hadn't imagined that the number is 64 percent of all blogs in English!
This is the conclusion in a count of the pings done by the ebiquity research group at University of Maryland:
53% of all pings is [...]
