If you make the Internet, live on the internet.

Much of the lifeblood of blogs is search engines - more than half the traffic for most blogs.

I don't care how someone lives or how good their spoken English is. I do all of my interviews on Skype text chat - all that matters is their work.

If I were to wish for two things, they would be as much bandwidth as possible and ridiculously fast browser engines.

Akismet started on a $70 dollar-a-month server. Anyone can scrape together $70.

The relationship between WordPress and Tumblr has always been pretty friendly: Tumblr's own blog used to be on WP, WordPress.com supports Tumblr as a Publicize option alongside Twitter and Facebook, our Akismet team sends them daily emails of splogs on the service, and there's healthy import and export traffic both ways.

For me, it always comes back to the blogger, the author, the designer, the developer. You build software for that core individual person, and then smart organisations adopt it and dumb organisations die.
