WordPress Blog : Golden Ticket Invites
Latest news in the blogosphere is that WordPress is giving out golden ticket invites for WordPress blog hosting. Do you have one? You have seen those neat blogs running on WordPress (external site), now check out WordPress.com (external site) which is giving out golden ticket invites to WordPress hosting. The address of your new wordpress blog will be .wordpress.com
Inner Geek (external site) got the invite and says the app is totally based on WordPress, but it looks slightly different, and has some improvements, like a not-so-rich-text editor (over editing HTML), collapsible sections in the edit page, including an AJAX categories selector. No plugins though.
The original WordPress hosting and installation requires that you buy your own web hosting service which meets the WordPress minimum requirements (external site), like PHP version 4.1 or greater and MySQL version 3.23.23 or greater and they recommend Apache as the most robust and featureful server for running WordPress, though any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do. And all this requires some degree of expertise, unlike Blogger which takes care of everything. So this new WordPress blog is great as it is already web hosted!

I received my WordPress.com invite earlier this week and I’ll write up my review within the next week.
i’ll have one too if somebody has an extra one to spare – thanks much
I’d love an invite, too ;). I’m looking to move off of typepad, too clunky, frustrating for me.
