[edit] 2008 Year-End Wrap-Up
2 January 2009, by Matt Another year, a few more blogs. 2008 has been a pretty groovy year for WordPress.com and the company behind it, Automattic. We doubled in size and brought new talent on board including some through the acquisition of two companies: Intense Debate and PollDaddy. This fine crew has helped bring new features to your dashboards, along with [...]
[edit] Support Updates: New Resources, Holiday Hours
23 December 2008, by Heather As some of you may have noticed, Support has new help pages, and is no longer in the old FAQ format. Rather than a list of answers to your questions, Support is now more like a knowledgebase, providing comprehensive overviews of features and tasks. Please feel free to contact us with your thoughts and suggestions on [...]

12 December 2008, by Heather I’ll bet you never thought you’d see the day when you looked forward to moderating your comments, but this might just be it.

[edit] The Many Ways to Configure Your New Dashboard

[edit] WordPress.com Goes Gravatar Crazy
8 December 2008, by apokalyptik Howdy there bloggers! You’ll no doubt remember that when we acquired Gravatar.com, just over a year ago, we intended to fully integrate it into WordPress.com.

[edit] 43 Degrees, but it’s snowing
6 December 2008, by Matt It’s 43 degrees outside, which is I think as cold as it gets in San Francisco. But there’s no reason we can’t turn down the thermometer here on WordPress.com. That’s right, the snow is back! Last year we were a little tardy with adding it so to make up we’re giving you almost a full month of [...]
