David asked how the heck all those posts got from one blog into another (this one). If you’re using WordPress, the dashboard offers a very nice, straight-forward way to export your blog posts to an xml file. That file can then be imported into a different WordPress blog. No idea how you’d import them into a blog of a different flavor, but there are probably some options out there.
It’s all under the Manage menu, take a peek at this screenshot:
Over at ScribeFire, I just came upon something really interesting. It looks like they’ve integrated a forum into their WordPress blog. Nice clean transition from blog to forum “look and feel”. How do they do that?! Special plug-in? Very nice indeed…

The long way is to edit the quicktags.js file. There’s an easier way: the WP-AddQuicktag plugin.
After activating this plugin, you get Options > Add Quicktags. That page gives you fields to directly add start and end tags that you use regularly. Then when you edit using the HTML instead of the wysiwyg editor, there’s a handy little button right along the others (like b, link, img, et cetera). Very handy indeed.
Easy, nice, very wordpress: sidebar widgets
