I just received my Wordpress.com Golden Ticket in my email!



A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away you entered your email address on http://wordpress.com/ to get a blog.


We’re now inviting small groups to use WordPress.com and your email address was selected today!

While you’re on a string of good luck it might be a good day to buy a lottery ticket.



I’d been waiting for quite some time for this, and I never thought my

email address would be selected to receive a WordPress.com

invite.  At any rate, I had tried my hand with WP with the J Spotter, and I can say it works well with advanced users such as myself–after all, the configurations have to be set manually.



I have yet to review the WP.com hosted blog service more thoroughly. 

At this point, I’m aware that it’s not as fully-functional as an

individual WordPress installation.  For instance, you don’t have

code-access to the templates (PHP and CSS files).  And you’re limited

to only a few theme choices, but you can edit the look and feel (color,

font scheme) thru a point-and-click interface.  And of course, you

can’t install your own plugins!



One good thing not found in an individual WP installation: the GUI post-editor, which includes a WYSIWYG text editor.  Yes, everything’s GUI now.  Now I gotta have that on my WP site.


I also noticed I could invite other users to WP.com.  But I get only one invite?
