WordPress is taking over
Neville Hobson reports on the new site for BA’s new airline. And guess what? It’s running on WordPress.
More and more, public bodies and corporations are moving towards WordPress as a lightweight, flexible and powerful way of establishing a social web presence. Let’s have a look at the evidence:
- Brazilian Ministry of Culture
- General Motors’ GMNext blog
- Our NHS, Our Future
- Governance of Britain
- Ford Motor Co.: Auto Shows
Anyone got any more? I will update the post if you leave URLs in the comments.
Birmingham Bloggers Get Together
Looking forward to this evening, because Nick Booth has organised a get-together of Birmingham bloggers. OK, so I live in Kettering, but work in Coventry and that’s kind of close.
Here’s the Upcoming page for the event. Am looking forward to meeting fellow bloggers!
Moving links in WordPress
WordPress never fails to astound me with its brilliance.
I still haven’t finished putting this blog together properly yet, but today thought I ought to at least cobble together a mini blogroll of some of my favourite fellow bloggers. I’d already got a blogroll at my old blog, and the thought of copying and pasting them across was not, to be honest, a pleasing one.
A quick Google later though, and I had been alerted to the page residing on every WP blog, at http://yourblog.com/wp-links-opml.php. All you have to do is chuck this into the "import" option on your control panel, and you’re away.
OK, this could be made easier by allowing you to download the OPML file straight from your originating control panel, but I expect it’s not there to avoid cluttering things up with rarely used functions. But it is at least still there, and pretty easy to use.

Absolute madness.

Neville Hobson provides some great links and advice for getting video online. Something I am particularly interested in at the moment.

For over a decade UK government has been busy moving online. This has made some progress, for example in driver and vehicle licensing, but is yet to take off in terms of usage in the way of some spectacular contemporary Internet examples…

Not much more to add to the headline, really, except to once again congratulate Zoho on their apparently effortless brilliance.

Seth Godin on successful ebooks – good advice.
