Yesterday, my Automattic colleague Joseph Scott launched the VideoPress Plugin for WordPress.org, meaning anyone with a self-hosted WordPress blog can now use VideoPress and their WordPress.com account for high-quality ad-free video right on their self-hosted WordPress blog. :)
On Friday, I had the great pleasure of attending and addressing WordCamp NOLA, the first WordCamp in this neck of the woods and a great introduction to the WordPress users of the Gulf Coast. The organizers did a fantastic job of putting together a really polished event, and the attendees I was able to speak with had great enthusiasm for WordPress and really great questions for me.
It’s hard to pick out highlights when an event like this goes so well, but for me, as always, it’s all about the people I meet. It’s a real honor when you can walk away from a conference with the feeling that you’ve made a few new friends. Thanks to the organizers, volunteers, speakers and of course the attendees who made for a memorable weekend. I can’t wait to do it again real soon.
Update: Because this got mistakenly posted to Twitter when I moved my blog over to WordPress.com, I should mention that this is an old post, and WordPress for iPhone 2.1 is the most recent version available. :)
Original: After a slight hiccup with 1.2, I’m proud to point you toward WordPress for iPhone 1.21, a pretty substantial update to our mobile app. I wont run down all the features here, but theres lots of new stuff and we’ve already started planning the next version. Download and enjoy! (Composing a post — like I’m doing now — is about a hundred times easier with the landscape keyboard!)
As anyone interested probably knows by now, Apple gave a preview of the new iPhone OS and SDK today, addressing quite a few of the biggest omissions in current iPhone software. From Apple’s annoucement:
With a rich set of over 1,000 new APIs, iPhone SDK for iPhone OS 3.0 beta provides you with an amazing range of technologies to enhance the functionality of your iPhone and iPod touch applications. New APIs also provide support for applications to communicate with hardware accessories attached to iPhone or iPod touch.
The nice part about this, for me, is that I just copied and pasted that quote from Apple’s web site into this post, which I composed using WordPress for iPhone. The future’s gonna be great.
That’s “Face book,” not “Facebook.” Ryan Imel at Theme Playground has compiled a list of Who’s Who in WordPress, bringing together the most comprehensive list I’ve seen if the people working on WordPress and the community that surrounds it. While I was flattered to be included, I’m linking to it not because of that but because I didn’t even know some of the folks on the list, so it was a great way for me to get up to speed, too. If you dig WordPress and want to know more about the people who make it go, this is a great resource.
That is sweet! Love it when someone finds the time to put together such a comprehensive list. :)

Sort of a bit off-topic, but: on the VideoPress site, although I have Museo (Sans) installed, being a Windows Firefox user I do not seem to be seeing the right font. The different variations seem to have their weight number values in their actual names in the menu, which seems to be to blame. So, perhaps you could pop "Museo Sans 500" in as well as "Museo Sans", and so on, in the font-family values? I probably shouldn't care but I do.

Thanks for the heads up. I tried adding a declaration for "Museo Sans 500" and "Museo 500" but still don't see the love in Firefox 2 with Museo installed locally. I'll see what I can figure out. :)

I should have mentioned that in the post! It's "Let's Boogaloo" by Willie Rosario (iTunes link)
