Matt on Not-WordPress

Hat tip: NewTeeVee.

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.

If you’re a WordPress.com user (or a 1.6 tester) run (don’t walk) to your “Manage” section and delete a few posts, categories, comments, etc. Notice the alternating backgrounds.

That is all.
