Where do the cool wordpress.com folks hang out?

WordPress.com is looking pretty cool but I’d like to read up on what’s working and what’s not.  What are we supposed to be testing and what should we stay away from for now?  What’s the roadmap for coming features and all sorts of other stuff like that.  I haven’t been able to figure out where that is yet.  If you have suggestions drop me a comment below.

BTW, I did try out the #wordpress irc channel on FreeNode and I did get some questions answered.  There are a lot of folks there that are pretty sharp.  They know this stuff.  The signal-to-noise ratio is too high for me to hang out there though.

Need to dig into the more advanced stuff

So I’m liking wordpress.com.  It’s pretty cool and seems quite fast.  I’d like to dig into the more advanced features though.  How can I host on my own domain name?  How can I customize the design?  How do add stuff to the design?  Can I add Google AdSense or MSN AdCenter (when that ships)?

WordPress.com invite

Leave a comment if you’re looking for a wordpress.com invite.  Let the world know what you’d do with a wp.com blog…

Drafts

Ah, ha.  So it looks like I hadn’t lost my post after all.  WordPress had saved it in my Drafts.  Cool.  Umm. Except I’ve since re-typed it and can’t figureout how to delete the draft without actually posting it.  hmmm.  Nice feature though. 

Update: Never mind there is a “Delete this post” function.  Nice!

Got BlogJet working also

I was also able to get BlogJet setup to work with wordpress.com.  BlogJet has a default entry for page to use when posting and it’s /WP_PATH/xmlrpc.php.  I just couldn’t figure out what the path was until I got some help on #wordpress channel on freenode.  On wordpress.com the page is just simply /xmlrpc.php which makes sense.  Should have tried that!

Feedback Link is working

Ok.  So the feedback link is working.  Got a comment from donncha earlier that he’d had a look and fixed this.  He was apparently using some feature that was not available in IE and juest went ahead and fixed it.  I posted some fedback earlier today and it worked great.  Nice little dhtml form that available pretty much whereever you are in the admin section.
