Another great podcast Charles!
Just a small FYI, LobsterMan’s name is Joe. He and I have worked together on a few WordPress projects.
I love how you made him sound like a super hero. If he hasn’t heard this podcast yet, I’ll make sure he’s aware of it :)
Haven’t had a chance to listen to the podcast yet, but I’d be willing to offer up my non-stentorian pipes for some podcasting work…
1st of all, I’m not from Maine or Florida, It’s Jerusalem, Israel. :) It’s not only a web alias, but also a real life nickname I got somehow. (But I’m not red, and I don’t have claws) I’m otherwise know as Rubin, or Joe, or both ;)
I’d offer myself for the co-host position, but I really hate the way I sound on recording. Good luck with finding a new co-host.
@LobsterMan: “I really hate the way I sound on recording” so I guess that means I shouldn’t release the Geek With Laptop podcast with our late night coding conversations? :)

Actually Genki YouTube Comments will work on any video. You need not be the owner of the vid ;)

Why is this post dated April 26? :)

Hello, Charles, and Aaron,
Listening toward the end about Aaron’s experiment regarding a strict RSS feed-based avenue of content distribution. The idea’s intriguing to me.
But – I think then the idea of having a web-based front-end (and administration panel) is actually over-kill. Submission would be better handled through online service from either email or a GUI on the client-side – and the admin panel would be better served/focused on handling technical aspects of the content. Then again – perhaps a GUI on the client could handle those tasks as well – but – we run into an issue with plugins, and how they’re structured, installed, hooked, maintained.
Anyway. Just a thought. I’m all for the idea of XML ‘entity’-type content distribution, because I think in a distant future, that’s where the Web has an incredible amount of potential. The idea of being able to give and take information so that it can be ‘automatically’ shared to add value to all of us, is a more intriguing idea than actually the branding portion of information. (Meaning that branding is in essence a more ‘shallow’ necessity in the current model – whereas true sharing is independent of brand [though can be branded].)
Although it is the popular opinion that pages are just like posts, the response to Tom Johnson’s question about whether or not WordPress places a limit on pages may not be correct. There is related performance problem for large numbers of pages.
