Not again; another missed BlogHer: It's exploded, you know, the size of this event as well as the size of the community. Perhaps they'll finally stop with the bloody stupid question, "Where are the women bloggers?" They're at BlogHer -- and it's HUGE.... (Blogosphere)

TypePad's template builder rocketh: Six Apart is gradually lifting the NDA for beta testers of TypePad, unveiling a specific interface detail each day this week. Today we're allowed to talk about the template builder, which I do over on my TypePad blog (Linotype), in an entry called Best CSS-design interface yet.... (Products)

Beta testers speak out?: I wish there was some easy way to see if a bunch of TypePad users are commenting on the template builder since that's the feature we're allowed to discuss today? Has anyone built a bunch of links to such entries? I'd like to read other people's opinions. I guess I'll be... (Weblog Concepts)

Best CSS-design interface yet: OK, so now I can talk about TypePad's awesome template builder feature. It's not easy to build a good interactive interface for something as nuanced as design, but given the standardization of weblog layouts and some very neatly executed preview routines and what I assume is DOM-driven interactivity, the TypePad beta... (Miscellany)

On the first day of TypePad...: This week Six Apart will be highlighting a different set of features every day and simultaneously lifting the limited NDA terms for beta testers with regard to those features. By the end of the week we'll be free to talk about anything TypePad. I'll try to post some comments about the... (Typepad)

Atom (pie) wiki weblog dinner in Barea this thursday: Sam Ruby is planning dinner on thursday somewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area. Should be an interesting crew. Besides your humble reporter, it looks like RSVPs already include Joe Gregorio, Simon Fell, Marc Canter, Kevin Burton, and possibly David Galbraith.... (Blogosphere)

Coming Attractions: Tomorrow I'll compare Radio and Blogger. I'll also look at the term (and practice of) "blogrolling."... ()

A Radio Overview: Marc Barrot sent me a link to this well organized overview of Radio's features and functionality. Starting to think about an information architecture for the non-blog parts of this site.... (Weblog Concepts)

Scoreboard Gazing: One of the addictive things about this Radio infrastructure is the referers and rankings pages. I got an endorphin rush yesterday watching my hits rise to second place yesterday as the Scripting News links propogated out across the 'sphere. Today I seem to have settled back to about No. 5 or...

Attitude Adjustment: Travelling upstream from my referrer logs I've found a lot of disdain for this Salon experiment in the established blogosphere. Some see it as a money grab by a old-school "fuckedcompany" dotcom. Others see it as a condescending evolution of the tired journalists vs. bloggers meme (which Rosenberg has addressed directly...

Blog Evolution: William Grosso writes about the evolution of blogging in his O'Reilly Network Blog today.... (Weblog Concepts)

Still Comparing LiveJournal and Radio Userland: Here's another difference: fee structure. Radio Userland costs money. I assume Salon and UserLand will split the fee for these blogs? Anyone can start a LiveJournal for free as long as they can get a code from an existing LJer. However, it's also possible to pay for LJ (I've done so)... (Weblog Concepts)

Surfacing a Few More Comments: A lot of lively discussion is going on in the comments. Here are some more that deserve front-page status: Comments in response to this post: hello. i've been using radio since february, and i think i can answer some of your questions. i'm sure if i get some of it wrong,...
