Over the weekend I installed the Zemanta plugin for WordPress. I read about the Zemanta “content suggestion engine” on Weblog Tools Collection and TechCrunch.
I really like Zemanta. Oringinally it was made as a browser plugin, and I believe it was released recently to work with some common blogging engines, like WordPress, Movable Type, and Blogger.

Linux.com likes WordPress 2.5. They have a nice little review of WP 2.5, my new favorite toy.

I upgraded to Wordpress 2.3 earlier today. If you happen to notice any problems, please notify me in the comments. Also, I have started using a new theme (IAMWW w2 DnD) and I’m still working out the kinks.
You might have noticed that yesterday I changed the theme here at Chris M. Lindsey again.
I have switched from Redoable 1.2 over to ScribbishWP. ScribbishWP is a Wordpress-port of the Scribbish theme for the Typo content management system.
