Join Our Censorship Protest!

by Paul Joseph January 18, 2012 Featured

Have you been paying attention to all the hubbub online about the proposed U.S. legislation (SOPA/PIPA) that threatens internet freedom? I wrote about it last week over on WordPress.org , but the gist is this: there’s a bill in the U.S. Senate that if passed would put publishing freedom severely at risk, and could shut down entire sites at the whim of media companies. Fight for the Future created this nifty video to sum it up better than I can. On January 18, 2012, sites all over the internet will be blacking out to protest and try to mobilize more people to speak out against this bill coming up in the Senate next week — S. 968: the Protect IP Act (PIPA) — in an attempt to let U.S. lawmakers know how much opposition there is. WordPress.org , Wikipedia , and even WordPress.com VIP I Can Has Cheezburger? will be participating in the blackout to raise awareness and spur you to action. Here on WordPress.com, we want to participate as well. Freshly Pressed will be blacked out during the strike. Sorry to take away your daily fix of yummy web content, but this bill threatens to do that on a much wider scale. You don’t want that, do you? More importantly, we are making it possible for you to participate in the protest. There are two options: a “Stop Censorship” ribbon and a full blackout. The blackout portion will be in effect January 18 from 8am to 8pm EST, while the ribbon will be displayed until January 24. Here’s how to join in: Go to  Settings → Protest SOPA/PIPA in your dashboard. Select if you want to join the blackout or show a ribbon. If you choose to join the blackout, you can edit the message that will be shown on your site during the blackout. Preview what your protest will look like. Click “Save Changes” button to activate your protest. That’s it! Easy-peasy activism right at your fingertips. The “Stop Censorship” ribbon will display in the upper corner of your site and links to americancensorship.org . It will display until January 24, 2012 (the Senate vote date). If you choose to do the blackout in addition to the ribbon, then we will black out your site from 8am to 8pm EST along with the official strike . You can customize the message that will appear on your blacked-out site to tell people why this issue is important to you. Your site will return to just displaying the ribbon after the strike is over. I hope that a significant number of you on WordPress.com will join in this protest. Publishing freedom is a right we must protect. And one last pitch: whatever you decide to do about your site, please take a few minutes to head over to americancensorship.org and take action. It only takes a few moments of your time to be an agent of change!

Splinder Importer Now Available

by Paul Joseph January 9, 2012 Featured

Italian blogging service Splinder.com is closing down at the end of this month, and we’d like to extend a hearty “Benvenuto” to any Splinder users who’re looking for a new blogging home. To help make migration easier, we’ve added a Splinder importer to WordPress.com. If you’d like to make the move, please go ahead and get started now so that there’s time before the January 31 st deadline to work out any issues. Exporting your Splinder Blog To import a Splinder blog, you’ll first need to save your export file to your computer by following these steps: First, log in to Splinder and click the “Blog” link available at the top of the home page. Next, click the “configura” link available at the top of the blog page. Now click “Esporta blog e attiva redirect” in the right-hand sidebar. Next, download the content of your blog by clicking the link “Clicca qui per scaricare il file con i contenuti del tuo blog.” Now you’re ready to import the downloaded file into your WordPress.com blog. Importing to WordPress.com Create a WordPress.com account and blog if you haven’t already, and then visit Tools -> Import in the admin sidebar. You should find the Splinder importer among the list of importers. Click the link to get started. Next, you’ll upload the export file you’ve downloaded to your computer from Splinder. Once the importer has validated your import file, you’ll be prompted to map users from the old blog to the new. If you’d like to have your post images downloaded as well, be sure to tick the “Download and import file attachments” checkbox. Once you’ve submitted the import request, it can take a few minutes to perform the import, and you’ll receive an email letting you know that the import finished. After you have imported your content into WordPress.com, you can return to your Splinder settings to create a redirect that will forward your old Splinder blog to your new WordPress.com blog. Provide your new WordPress.com blog URL in the field and click the “Attiva redirect” button. If you have any trouble importing your blog, of course you’re welcome to  contact support , and one of our Happiness Engineers will be glad to help out. To learn your way around WordPress.com, we encourage you to check out our handy tutorial . We also provide comprehensive feature documentation at our support site . Welcome to WordPress.com!

It’s Android blogging, re-imagined. Today we’re announcing the release of WordPress for Android 2.0, a major update that focuses on a new UI and enhanced post editor features.

You can tap the blog name to switch blogs, refresh your content, and call up the dashboard from wherever you are in the app at the time.

Get Instant Feedback When You Publish

by Paul Joseph December 12, 2011 Featured

For months we’ve been studying how, when and why people publish their posts, and what the common tasks are people perform afterwards. We know many of you immediately want to see what your post looks like, check for typos, and then share your post to social networks. Starting today you’ll see a much improved design for giving you feedback and supporting how you work. The first thing you’ll see, after your browser finishes telling WordPress.com you have a new post, is positive feedback your post was successful. We now notify you as soon as possible that everything went smoothly. At the same time, we’re loading your actual post to show you. Once the post loads, which can take a few seconds, you can confirm it looks as you expected. If you find a typo in your post (which can be easier to spot in the published post, than on the edit screen), you can quickly click Edit and switch back into edit mode to fix it. If everything in your post looks good, you’ll notice some smart things we’ve done to both help improve your post, and to inspire you for the future. The progress bar: we now show a simple progress indicator that helps direct your efforts at a specific target. The goal is automatically set to increments of 5 posts (yes, we are considering allowing this to be customized). An inspiring quotation appears under the bar, as a reward and as motivation for next time. When you reach the goal, you get a nice surprise, and the bar will be reset for next time. Of course posting quality matters as much, or more, than quantity, but research shows having clear goals helps both . Sharing:  if you have the Publicize feature turned on, we show how many people were notified through social networks like Twitter and Facebook, with some of their Gravatars so you can learn more about them. If you don’t have Publicize active, you’ll see easy to use buttons for manually sharing your post on Twitter, Facebook and Google+. Tagging:  we also know adding tags to your post can make it easier for people to find your work. Based on the content of your post, we use an algorithm to recommend a few tags to add, which you can do with a single click. We’ll continue to study how you post and improve what we do to support how you work. Happy posting. If you’d prefer the classic experience, you can turn Instant Post Feedback off from your Dashboard, at Settings, Users, Personal Settings.

WordPress.com Bloggers Who Covered the Biggest News Stories of 2011

by Paul Joseph December 5, 2011 Featured

As 2011 comes to end, we thought it’d be interesting to look back at the events that made headlines this year, and a few of the bloggers who were there in person (or closely connected to the events) to document history in the making. Here’s a recap of some of the biggest news stories of the year, as blogged by WordPress.com users. January 25: Tens of thousands of people take to the streets of Cairo and other Egyptian cities to demand an end to the rule of President Hosni Mubarak. Cairo-based journalist Max Strasser reported on the events from Istanbul. Marilyn Gardner posted updates on the situation after speaking with her daughter, who was living in Egypt for school. Flickr.com/photos/sarahcarr March 11: Japan is hit with an 8.9-magnitude earthquake, the strongest in its history. The author of Amblerangel.WordPress.com was at a grocery store in Shibuya-ku when it happened. She recounted the experience in We’re Being Shaken and Stirred in Japan . According to Liz Tagami, who was at Narita International Airport when the quake hit, “ It started as a silent rolling wave. “ Amblerangel.WordPress.com June 24: New York legalizes same-sex marriage, becoming the largest state in the U.S. to pass the law. It goes into effect thirty days later on July 24, 2011. TalkAboutEquality.WordPress.com was on site at the New York City Clerk’s office to chat with the couples who lined up for marriage licenses, as documented in the post Thousands of New Yorkers Put a Ring on It . In August, Jacob Murphy shared photographs of a pop-up chapel ceremony in New York City’s Columbus Circle. TalkAboutEquality.WordPress.com July 9: South Sudan becomes the world’s newest nation after seceding from Sudan. Uganda-based photographer Will Boase was there to capture the celebration, which he blogged about in Happy Birthday South Sudan .

In the post 3,652 Days Later , Dale Roe of Project 2,996 declared, “Take this day, not to remember mass murder, but to remember the 2,996 people who are loved and missed.” The project uses WordPress.com to organize tributes to the victims of 9/11. Amalie Flynn was just blocks away from the Twin Towers on 9/11. She started SeptemberEleventh.WordPress.com on 9/11/2010 and posted every day last year. Project2996.WordPress.com October: The Occupy Wall Street movement gains momentum. Terrell Starr visited New York’s Financial District to document the demonstration.

by Paul Joseph November 24, 2011 Featured

We want to help your websites come alive with beautiful design. The WordPress.com theme team has been adding new themes at a dazzling rate , but did you know you can customize the style of any of our themes using the Custom Design upgrade ? CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets which are styles that define how to display HTML elements. You can do anything from changing font colors to styling an entire site from scratch using CSS. Not only does the Custom Design upgrade let you choose from 50+ custom fonts in the Fonts tab, it includes a CSS editor where you can save style rules after purchasing the upgrade or preview changes before buying. Whether you are a design expert of amazing talent proportions or you are just learning the ways you can bend websites to your will, we think you’ll love making your WordPress.com sites even more beautiful with custom CSS. Beginners can start with the CSS Basics help page. Everyone is always welcome to share some CSS love in the WordPress.com CSS Customization forum where happiness engineers and amazingly tireless volunteers help with CSS questions. To inspire you, here are a few strikingly different Twenty Eleven theme variations currently living at WordPress.com made by our very own Automatticans: If you are a WordPress.org user, never fear! You can use the WordPress.com CSS plugin to get a CSS editor that won’t modify theme files, keeping them wrinkle-free and easy-to-update. Go to Appearance → Custom Design → CSS in your dashboard and try out some CSS edits!

Google Knols Move to WordPress: The Annotum Platform

by Paul Joseph November 22, 2011 Featured

Today, we’d like to give a warm welcome to Google Knol users who are migrating to WordPress.com. Begun in 2007, the Google Knol project has provided people in many fields with a place to share their knowledge and expertise with the world using a platform designed for scholarly authoring and publishing. Starting today, those same authors can move their articles and collaborative journals to WordPress—and they have the power to choose whether to move to a self-hosted WordPress installation powered by the freely-available, open-source Annotum themes , or to have their Annotum-powered site hosted for free here on WordPress.com. Knol will slowly shut down over the next year, and we’ve worked closely with Google  and Solvitor LLC to make this transition as simple as possible. We here at WordPress.com are thrilled to provide an easy, fast way for Knol authors to move to their new homes without the need for configuring their own installation. And WordPress.com users who would like to start new sites powered by the Annotum platform can activate one of the two new Annotum-enabled themes on new blogs and get started right away. It’s yet another way the WordPress platform and WordPress.com are enabling the democratization of publishing and sharing of information with the world. For more detailed information on the Annotum Project, please visit the official site . If you’re moving to WordPress.com and have questions about the process, please see our step-by-step guide  and our list of frequently asked questions .
