So of course, I need to find tons of Wordpress plugins to customize my blog. Ones I’m using so far:

  • Akismet - Comment spam control. No way I’d run without this bad boy.
  • AutoMeta - Automatically generate Technorati tags based on post content. We’ll see how this one does.
  • LJXP - This automatically crossposts all my blog entries to LiveJournal, with nice formatting options for linking back to my blog.
  • OpenID Comments - This allows users with OpenID identities to comment on my blog without having to register.

I’m pretty happy with things so far. I’m sure I’ll add more though.

Napster is dying

Recent Netcraft reports….oh wait, sorry.

Anyway, according to the Mercury-News, Napster has got serious issues. Much of their executive team has cycled out, HP pulled out of a deal with them *and* went with Apple instead, and layoffs have already started. Not too good for the kitty. And with 100,000 pre-orders for the gimped iPod, Apple is sitting pretty at the moment.
