Speedlinking – 17 May 2007
- WordPress 2.2 is available for download Download and as always Aaron Brazell is releasing his article – the 10 Things you should know about WordPress 2.2.
- Gili has written a pretty detailed model (and calculator) for valuing blogging ventures – my own philosophy is that a blog is worth what someone’s willing to pay for it – but these calculators can be fun I guess.
- David reports that MyBlogLog is rebranding – about time, I’ve all but given up on them.
- Cory Doctorow writes a piece titled How to Keep Hostile Jerks From Taking Over Your Online Community – well worth a read and relevant for bloggers

I missed the MyBlogLog comment if you made it earlier. On my blog – still small – I have had no real problems yet.
Imho a lot of people did not realise how much information MyBlogLog would reveal about their own activities or how much it would reveal about their blog.
I have posted a little more at the url below:

That blog valuator’s pretty cool. I’m building a v2 as we speak to take other factors into account (like a blog’s growth). Will try and get it up tomorrow :)

The post on WordPress can be quite helpful, thanks for the link Darren. I’ve been reading a lot about errors that come up after download (missing Top Commentators, etc) and I think this will probably shed some light.

I have a wordpress blog, but I’ve been kinda too scared to do the upgrade. I hope the process gets easier that it looks right now.
Maybe I’m just a wuss…
