Our beloved Matt, made the announcement about acquiring WP.com and asked from the users that what should be the ultimate use of this magical domain name. The Blog Herald’s Thord Daniel Hedengren thinks that Automattic should rebrand WordPress.com as WP.com. Although, I think that there can be a better use of this particular domain name.
When it comes to patience level, I’m one of those guys who doesn’t loses his temper quickly (except few cases – like when I see people not applying common sense, not driving in sensible way etc.) and I tend to give chances to improve. You may be wondering that why am I talking about my patience level all of a sudden. Reason is pretty simple, IntenseDebate has already tested my patience level and I don’t see any reason for me to continue using that service anymore.

What is BuddyPress?
BuddyPress is a suite of WordPress plugins and themes, each adding a distinct new feature. BuddyPress contains all the features you’d expect from WordPress but aims to let members socially interact.
Most of our readers, must be aware of bbPress. For those who don’t know about bbPress, let me enlighten you. It’s a light-weight forum software that is available for free and is from the makers of “WordPress “. It competes with phpBB, Vanilla, SMF and other open-source forum softwares. I prefer bbPress over others as this forum software is by Automattic team and syncs well with WordPress.
Few days back, I gave the instructions on setting up a blog on Windows Live Writer. Today, I would like to tell you that how one can setup a WordPress blog on Ecto, one of the most popular Mac OS X desktop blog client. I recently came across Blogo, a wonderful looking blog client for OS X, however I think its still pretty low in features and I’m just hoping that it’ll improve and I’ll buy it. I’ll come up with its review in upcoming posts.
I’ve stressed earlier that how important it is to install a desktop blogging client. I realized that not everyone uses it as they find it difficult to configure these blog clients. In this post, I’ll tell you that how one can install & configure Windows Live Writer, by far the best blogging client available on the internet!
