I like this title much better than the ‘For Dumbies/Idiots’ ones.
Anyway if you are into this blogging thing at all and are running Firefox 3 then you really should give ScribeFire a test drive. It really make this easy.

General
Honestly I am still getting the hang of this blogging thing. I can tell you that using wordpress is a hell of a lot better than eblogger, or myspace, facebook, y!360 or any of the other thing’s I’ve tried over the years. Advance the score +1 for Open Source!!!
Yahoo | Radical Paradigm Shift | Going Totally Open
This could be the move that breaks the appeal of Yahoo to Microsoft. Although Microsoft has attempted to make appearances of shifting itself into being Open Source friendly, truth of the matter is that this company is even less open than Sun. Honestly with Sun swallowing up MySql the nearly ubiquitous Open Source database player, and subsequently closing off some of it’s core componentry. I am absolutely certain the Balmer and crew performed a little heel clicking jump for joy at this maneuver.
So what to make of Yahoo’s turn about? Well honestly this company has flirted with the whole Open Source concept since it’s humble beginnings. Like Hotmail, they’ve run their systems on FreeBSD since the start. Considering that they already have many fairly open APIs this is an extremely interesting move.
succeeds I would venture that this is aimed at making the company much less attractive that it currently is to the hostility it is seeing on the market. If the ploy it is likely that this tact will strengthen their position against Myspace and Facebook as the PC World article states.
