One of our contributors, John Tintle, has been covering WordPress.com, the hosted alternative to Blogger for some time. He has also written up a great review of the platform. Some of the exciting new features he mentioned include “AJAX scripts, a rich WYSIWYG environment that allows you to drag and drop photos or images into your posts, and a new and improved Dashboard that allows users not only to check on the Top 5 blogs on WordPress.com, but up and coming blogs too.” John was also nice enough to offer sponsors of RealTechNews a free invitation to the closed beta testing phase of this project.
But today the news is official. WordPress.com is live and open to everyone!

So far it hasn’t, mainly due to wordpress.com’s limitations, and Matt Mullenweg’s lies about what is secure or not –meaning it’s only secure when he can secure $$ in his pockets via special upgrades.
It’s a joke, especially since the new Blogger is so much better than anything else hosted for free, and all of it’s services are free with no strings attached.
