There are a number of discussions taking place here on WordPress at the moment regarding the recent introduction on WordPress.com of “Like” and “Reblog” features.
In the main I have been following the debate on TimeThief‘s blog and through the Forum (until this subject was closed to further debate by the Ministry of Silly Wa*ks), although many other WordPress bloggers have also been up in arms about the way the whole thing was implemented.
Anyway, I think it’s about time I clarified my own personal position with regard to these new features from the point of view of a general user of WordPress and skirting around, where possible, the political issues surrounding the rights/wrongs of Reblogging.
I will address them both individually.
This picture (which is deliberately grotty so that you won't copy it) is of two bald eagle chicks atop their "nest" in Labrador.
Actually, since meeting Amanda, there is probably more on here about her than Newfoundland, but times change, eh ?
