Its happy news for wordpress fans and the community as more and more portals and large websites use wordpress to update their users via these blogs. NewYork Times is also in the game now and here is their new blog: The Carpetbagger. Matt writes about it in his blog yesterday. Very recently we also heard yahoo and about.com using wordpress for blogging. But for teh community the dissappointing things is that none of these gaints care to give a link back to wordpress.org from their blogs.

I love this cool green and dark grey color combination which I use see with Mint. There is this new theme: Kiwi which I am sure that i will be using someday.

There are more themes which have a business look. Thought some of you who are looking for a perfect blog theme might be intrested.

About.com blogs which pull millions of users across the internet in various topics was using Movable Type untill now and is moving all its blogs to wordpress platform. This clearly shows how well wordpress is growing and as Big guns like Yahoo & About use wordpress they build trust for people looking for a blogging platform.
Matt mentions it in his blog. Everyone is happy about it. Only google is left back among the big guns to try wordpress officially. Google already having their own platform for blogging(blogger), will be hard to convince for trying wordpress for their official blogs. Anyway, i’ll bring google and wordpress together with my google logos blog which I am working on.

The Referral system started with Google a while back. And then Google Introduced Firefox Referrals which didnt allow the feature to be used by internation users. But they finally allowed the system internationally. But the referral images were all in white color. A few days back some colour image options were introduced. Not so impressive but yes they might help some colorful blogs and sites.

But ultimately they have to make the referrals colour-free and the colour options to the users.

These are the added ones:

Yahoo seems to be using wordpress for its new yahoo mail updates blog. Matt writes about it yesterday. The whole wordpress community is gald about it at the same time feeling bad about something else.

The blog looks simple and good using a custom theme. The have enough footer spacing for giving a link back to wordpress. The link is not important in this case but the credit for the great blogging tool is important. Afterall wordpress is FREE and whats the problem to give it the credit? Dont really understand what they have in mind. But the footer looks like something has been defenitely cleanedup there.

WordPress is such an excellent blogging tool that it can be used by absolute beginners and expert bloggers and programmers. And I feel such a tool deservers credits from gaints like yahoo, google, microsoft, apple and others. But its going the other way? Google already has its own blogging tool(The Blogger) so they will probably never use wordpress and when big guns like yahoo use it, they dont give the credit? dose’nt that sound bad? whats the matter with Yahoo! ?

I always wonder how quick things comeup for nice tools. There is a community for every google product and for google talk too.

The following are Google Talk Communities:
