Well all I can say is great job! If your a wordpress lover like we are, go over and download the new admin theme from Orderedlist, Tiger Administration 3.0 right now, it looks amazing. Great work!
Steve from Orderedlist is a great designer, and to boot, he lives and works in one of my favorite cities in the world, South Bend Indiana, home of the Fighting Irish (sorry Andy). He has screenshots of his new admin as well as installation instructions. So go install it and see if you like it.
I installed it on my personal blog, and love it.

Well, I opened my feed reader this morning and discovered a brand new Firefox extension called Firebug. It’s great. An editor opens up right in Firefox where you can edit html, ajax requests, css, and more in real time! I strongly recommend checking this out if you are any sort of serious developer.

I must say, I simply love BlogDesk.
As Johannes states on the website:
Blogging should be simple, but it gets complicated and time-consuming if you are serious about it. BlogDesk makes it easy to write, speeds up lavish processes and assists the author with smart features.
I couldn’t agree more. I write and edit many blogs and BlogDesk allows me to do all this in a unified interface. I can cross-post to different blogs. I can edit posts that have already been submitted. It has full category support and a Technorati Tags generator.
And to top it off this morning I send Johannes a support request because BlogDesk wasn’t working with Vista. Within the hour he emailed me back a resolution and I’m writing this on Vista with BlogDesk. You can’t beat that. Oh, and it is free!
