The Golden Ticket
September 30, 2005I just received my Wordpress.com Golden Ticket in my email!
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away you entered your email address on http://wordpress.com/ to get a blog.
We’re now inviting small groups to use WordPress.com and your email address was selected today!

While you’re on a string of good luck it might be a good day to buy a lottery ticket.
I’d been waiting for quite some time for this, and I never thought my
email address would be selected to receive a WordPress.com
invite. At any rate, I had tried my hand with WP with the J Spotter, and I can say it works well with advanced users such as myself–after all, the configurations have to be set manually.
I have yet to review the WP.com hosted blog service more thoroughly.
At this point, I’m aware that it’s not as fully-functional as an
individual WordPress installation. For instance, you don’t have
code-access to the templates (PHP and CSS files). And you’re limited
to only a few theme choices, but you can edit the look and feel (color,
font scheme) thru a point-and-click interface. And of course, you
can’t install your own plugins!
One good thing not found in an individual WP installation: the GUI post-editor, which includes a WYSIWYG text editor. Yes, everything’s GUI now. Now I gotta have that on my WP site.
I also noticed I could invite other users to WP.com. But I get only one invite?
