Karakui.com does Automattic’s Worldwide WP 5k

I haven’t done much jogging/running since playing baseball (up to high school) so I walked the WWWP5k for a little over 4 mi/6.4 km. It was windy and it started to drizzle towards the end so I guess it was pretty good weather for a walk. I did the walk at the Central Oahu Regional Park hoping to catch a few baseball/softball games but there were only a couple of softball games going on today and the park (baseball area) was otherwise pretty much empty.

OK, I’m wowed.

WordPress.com adds a url shortener

Great news. WordPress.com now has its own URL shortener! I think we’ll be using WP.me from now on instead of using twitterfeed and bit.ly on Twitter.

WordPress iPhone app

Test post with the WordPress iPhone app. It crashed on me the first time and I couldn’t complete this post the second time (the “Save” button vanished!?) so let’s hope the third time’s the charm. 🙂

WordPress.com’s #2 BotD (Japanese Language) is from Okinawa

So I’m about to shut down (gotta go practice sanshin yo) but I decide to surf around WordPress.com a bit and came across the daily Top Blogs listing. Clicked 日本語 (Nihongo) under “Language Filters” and lo and behold, sitting at the number two spot for the Blogs of the Day (BotD) is the Okinawa Basketball Association blog! I’m no basketball nut (baseball is closer to my turf) but with a little over 95,000 hits since August 2006, wow.

No Pages?!

Okay, looks like Karakui’s not alone. Other users are writing about not being able to access their Pages in the WordPress.com forums. Oh well, nothing we can do but wait.
