I enjoyed your podcast, it was informative and funny at points. Thanks for the info, and I think I’ll see if I can sneak away to the Dallas Wordcamp now that I know about it.

It is possible to change the location, but it might be just for plugins, as the core updater uses another API function.

In the podcast, Lorielle mentioned that Gravatars could be used with Gmail. However, searches online do not reveal anything — did she misspeak, or can she share details?
The new Gravatar Importer for Google Contacts imports Gravatars and syncs them with your Google contacts using Gravatars so you see their image in your Gmail account. Thought the link was in my notes. Thanks for catching that.
Great podcast. Even though it’s been out a while I’ve been holding off upgrading my sites to 2.7 – there still seems to be some growing pains. The biggest one I’ve seen so far is that the podpress plugin no longer works. This is not good because many many podcasters use this plugin.
