As usual, Technorati walks ahead of the pack
They “invented” blogsearch, and did a LOT for the webdevelopment and blogging community. Now Technorati, it turns out, is working on the microformats search I asked for only two articles ago (it was there before that, I just didn’t know about it)… Check it out in Technorati’s Kitchen.
Upgraded to WordPress 2.1
I decided to upgrade to WordPress 2.1, and I have to say: it all went very, very smoothly. The only trouble I had was with Subscribe to Comments. Although version 2.1 of this very cool plugin had been released, and it was said to work with WP 2.1, it didn’t. You got an error like [...]

Sortable table v1.5
I’ve just updated my sortable table script to version 1.5, in which it is fixed to work in Safari for Mac OS X 10.4 as well, (I didn’t even know that it wasn’t working in there since it always worked in the nightly). I’m now taking new feature requests for this script, so hit me [...]
FeedBurner history comparison
When I was working on my FeedBurner history graph tool, I thought it would be cool to be able to display the growth of a blog relative to some other blog as well, so i came up with the idea of “just” plotting a few other lines next to each other, showing how they performed [...]
Cool FeedBurner schwag
I got some nice stuff in the mail today, a gift from FeedBurner’s Jessica Graeser, because they liked my FeedBurner graph so much. Check it out:
