The first entry this week is new to me: hebig.org/blog. It includes some interesting advice on performance (don't blame MT when the hosting server is the problem), a review of the Canon Powershot S60 and links to some interviews with developers of news aggregators.
The Gray Monk starts off with a great summary of the weeks news. There is also a detailed history lesson and some astronomy to liven the mix.
The posting over at DramaQueen has been pretty light but this is entirely due to real life drama involving bad news for a near relative. On top of that, Goldie has now turned 21 (or thereabouts).
Read My Lips is keeping an eye on who posts on Saturdays which is really Friday here. At the same time he is conducting zoo tours. Actually, Tiger has been busy because he has clocked over 100,000 visitors.
Last site for this week is the cheese stands alone, always an excellent source of puzzles for the weekend quiz. There is also a timely reminder to wear your pyjamas. Especially if you are going to be on call for making fairy floss.

I don't have a full roundup for this week due to the transition of the main blog from MT to WP. I have yet to find out what the official Munuvian stance will be and I also failed to get my tabs working (still fiddling it). In the absence of having a real Roundup, I would like to point out some WP based sites that have either been helpful or provided inspiration.
Top of the charts would have to be the extremely generous Kathy Kinsley. She has been working on layouts and also helping with my comment problems (which I think hope are all resolved).
Next up would have to be the two pre-MT-debacle bloggers who were using WP already: Skipjack and Mind of Mog. I notice that Skipjack has a new site-image (favicon) which looks like the Linux penguin crossed with the pointy-haired-boss from Dilbert :-) Skipjack also has some comparisons of different blog packages. Mog has links to more switchers.
The single biggest shock (to me) was finding out that Scripty Goddess was moving. She had written many of the tips and tricks I used on my MT blog and I am eagerly awaiting her new WP plugins (like hide/reveal for comments). Ohhh, I just checked her blog and it is available now.
You guys/gals just chat among yourselves until next week....
This is the very first post in the production installation of WordPress.
Please bear with me as I upload the archives and fix the layout over the next couple of hours.
