I’ve not had much time to blog about the Blogs Update Phase 2.2 – WordPress 4.1.2 in Glow Blogs, but I spent a wee bit of time on a new blog showing the features the Blogs gain from jetpack. Imaginatively I called the blog Jetpack.…

Talking Big WordPress
Last week I attended the WordPress Big Media & Enterprise Meetup in London.
I was asked down to talk about Glow Blogs. Given this was a meet up of pretty serious WordPress developers I was reasonably nervous about talking to them.…
The iOS WordPress App Editor
The new iOS WordPress app editor is so much better than before. I am not sure when this happened.

Even though, like Alan, I don't think writing everything in word is a great idea lots of folks do exactly that.…
Glow Blogs What Just Happened, What is Next?
Last Friday at the same time as the glow authentication changed, the new glow blogs service went live. I posted about this over on Glow Connect.
