With Firefox 3 out, now I need something else to look forward to in the area of tech. Hmm, WordPress is already working on version 2.6 you say? I like WordPress, and the hinted at list of new features looks to be building on an already solid 2.5.
Here are a few things to look forward to in WordPress 2.6:
-
Post Revisioning
- A “Press This” bookmarklet for tumblelog style quick posting
- A new image editing dialog that offers lots of control over the images in your posts
- Theme previewing as seen on WordPress.com
- Built-in word counting in the post editor
- The ability to relocate your content directory
- The ability to move wp-config.php out of your web root
- Drag-and-drop sortable galleries
- Bulk delete, activate, and deactivate for plugins
- Check box range selection with shift-click
You can check out the full list of goodies over at Ryan’s blog and also pickup the beta 1 if you have a place you’d like to play with it.

I have been sharing a lot of my posts and articles on MySpace lately to get a few more interested readers coming in, and after a long search I ran into one problem. Yes, MySpace has the "Post to MySpace" feature now that makes sharing URLs from other non-MySpace sites easier. The problem is nobody has written a bookmarklet for it yet.
Well, that was the case till I figured I would give it a shot. Drag and drop think link on to your bookmarks toolbar:
Add to MySpace!
To cover all my bases, here is what you do - depending on the browser you use:
Firefox - Drag and drop the above link to your bookmarks toolbar or right-click the link and select "bookmark this link".
Internet Explorer - Right click on the link above, and select "add to favorites".
Safari - Drag and drop the link to your bookmarks toolbar.
I hope this helps out anybody else looking to quickly share interesting articles and sites with your friends and stalkers on MySpace. If anybody wishes to be my bud - you can find my MySpace profile and add me there!

It is my opinion that everybody should have a URL shortener handy from whatever browser you use. I still use TinyURL from time to time - but I have found one that has replaced this mini-url titan on my links bar. The new service I have been using is urlTea.
They have an easy to use bookmarklet which makes shortening URLs brain dead simple. It also automatically copies the new shorter URL to your clipboard too - which saves on an extra step or two. Also you can IM your URLs into a special address (teabot@urltea.com) using Jabber or Google Talk to get a urlTea URL.
The current base of TinyURL clones out there are still lacking. This service at least looks like it has a unique vision for it’s present and future - and that is never a bad thing.
