I just upgraded the blog to WordPress 2.6 and it has a lot of cool new features like photo captions, live theme previews and post revisions (similar to what you might be familiar with in Google docs). While reading the release post on the WordPress development blog I noticed this at the bottom of the [...]

Alright, time to give a little back to my loyal readers and commentators :) Here are a few interesting posts from the people that commented the most during the month of September…
