Big news!
Hey, big news, guess all the ‘not’ blogging and so on paid off.

Basically it would involve developing a blogging system to operate on the open web which integrates with Vista, building in full RSS capabilities …
Oooooo WordPress doing bad things…
Wow, absolute mayhem as WP is outed as doing some serious ‘cloaking’ serach enginewise, basically the story runs like this: “The Problem.
