…good to know! Thanks!
Gravatar is still broken. I uploaded an image, it worked. Then I uploaded a different image and deleted the first. It’s been ten days: guess which gravatar is still showing? The first one. It doesn’t even appear in my account, but that’s the image sent out for my email address.
In other words: if they can’t get the simple stuff right, there’s no way I’ll pay $10/year. Doing so might very well make me the very definition of a sucker.
Even though you have been “wicked busy”, I really appreciate that you are back “on the air”!
The “new blogger importer” is now in the trunk.
I dig ‘Hosted by two guys, Charles “the monotone†Stricklin and David ‘the dour one’ Peralty’.
Thanks for the plug of sorts. And don’t worry about the name mispronunciation–everyone does it! :P
I got a bit confused about the Easter Egg in the editor. Following trails of links to a post at Solo Technology, I had the impression that the keystroke was alt+shift+v. In the podcast, I think you said it was ctrl+shift+v.
Yesterday on my Mac iBook, I tried option+shift+v and it didn’t work. On my Windows machine at work today, I tried alt+shift+v and it did indeed work. And just now on my iBook, I tried ctrl+shift+v just for fun–and lo and behold, it doubled my editor bar!
Wonder why it’s not the same (or analogous) between the two platforms?
This was the first WP podcast I listened to, and I’m glad I subscribed! Nice job!
