*Theme Repository Interview* – Joseph Scott and Matt Mullenweg were both interview by Ian Stewart of ThemeShaper.com in regards to the WordPress theme directory. What was interesting to note during this interview was that when Matt was asked which features were his favorite, his response was, there are a ton of features coming soon that will be his favorite. - http://themeshaper.com/matt-mullenweg-joseph-scott-wordpress-themes-directory/
*WordPress Keeps Growing * – During Matt Mullenwegs State Of The Word address which highlights the state of the WordPress project and WordPress.com announced growth statistics over the past year. Not going to go over the numbers here but they are pretty impressive. Worthy of note is that there are 2.6 million active user-installed WordPress blogs. This data is relatively accurate considering it is based off of real data.- http://hackwordpress.com/wordpress-continues-to-show-incredible-growth/ <http://uk.wordcamp.org/>
*Agencies Using WordPress* – Mark Jaquith recently published a post which highlighted 16 different U.S. Government Agencies using WordPress. These agencies range from the Air Force, U.S. Army to the National Security Agency and the Navy. Once again, this showcases that even the big boys are confident to use WordPress as their publishing platform. - http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2008/08/18/us-government-agencies-using-wordpress/

Whether you have a business or just want to keep up with family, a blog is a very essential part of your online presence today. In this episode, we discuss the pros and cons of having a blog or not having a blog.
Of course, most of the hosts of this episode all have blogs, for business and other reasons, and so I figured that the discussion might become a little biased. Boy, was I wrong! The opposite was true, inc fact, as the discussion went for more than an hour and even carried over into the Business 101 Segment as we discussed Press Releases and Public Relations in Business and the importance of having a blog was discussed during this segment.
Josh didn’t make it this week, so we went onto the Wordpress News and talked about the new BluBrry Plugin for Wordpress (as used here now! See the player below) and then we moved onto Patti’s Broadcasting Tips. Patti is now incorporating video tips into her segment since we have segued into straight video for our live format now.
The After Show went for more than an hour and it is now podcasted for those that are interested. I will include a separate player below for the After Show podcasts.
uStream had a few issues with locking up and continually restarting the recording. I am podcasting the audio from a local recording now, so the lockups and freezing will not affect the podcasts recording any longer. I may be looking for a different video service, but the Live page will continue unaffected by this change.
