Matt on Not-WordPress

We’re experimenting with something new, now when you’re logged in across WordPress.com you should see a blue “admin bar” across the top of your blog and others with a few handy links, including “Edit this page” if you’re on your own site. This is only shown to people who are logged in.

I’m curious what people think of this, and what other sort of stuff would you like to see in your admin bar?

Lorelle is interviewing WordPress.com users, even though there’s only a few so far. If you like the idea of being interviewed, you should leave a comment on her post.

It’s Labor day so we’ve been working extra hard for you. Here are a few of the latest improvements on WordPress.com:

• Managing links works better.
• You can now use extended entries with the “more” WYSIWYG button.
• You now get less generic profile information on registration.
• Invites are a lot smarter — it prefiles a lot of information for people you invite.
• When you invite someone you’re automatically added to their blogroll on their new blog.
• Feedback form works in IE.
• The cool fade I alluded to before is now in full effect. (Delete some more posts and comments.)
• It should be faster now (and we haven’t even moved to the new servers yet).

All the electricity problems have been solved in the new colo and thanks to the super-human Jason Hoffman everything has been racked and stacked and we’ll begin configuring them this week.

Just came in, they have built-in pallets.
