The WordPress state of the art
January 3rd, 2010 at 7:48 pm ETNot having used WordPress in almost two years, I’m staggered by the degree to which blog publishing on this platform (along with Twitter integration and a host of plugin features) has become nearly failure-proof. It was fairly easy before, but the more sophisticated features required (or at least were assisted by) a fair amount of technical background knowledge. But both on the back-end and the interface side of things, it all seems simpler now… and the full iPhone integration in the WordPress 2 iPhone app only makes it more seamless.
We’re still a bit away from Cory Doctorow’s always-on network-in-our-heads; but with each incremental improvement, we move closer to that point, which I feel certain to see in my lifetime. (How’s that for Omni-quality sci-fi boosterism?)

Agreed – in the past year especially, with the solid auto-updating and things like the P2 theme, Wordpress has really become a platform that can be deployed very easily and successfully.
