Hmm… You have to be careful talking about something in general terms which you don’t seem to have specific knowledge. Martin Geisler wrote an incendiary post about the WordPress codebase, and while I will admit that the code isn’t perfect, it’s far from the beast that he implies lies behind the label.
Allow me to refute certain points directly:
Nofollow is dead here. What does that mean? Leaving comments on this site will increase your Google PageRank. If that means something to you, I’m glad. If not, you will probably not be affected.
When I wrote the Countdown plugin, I supplied a default set of events so that people could see the date formats for adding new entries.
One of the default events in the distributed list is my birthday, which, as many of you may know from reading this blog, happens twice during the year; Once in January (actual) and once in June (observed).
The New Laws of Television is a good accompaniment to the news that Futurama might come back in a different way than you expect.
