 * Matt, the issue is session cookies. Not just for wordpress but for your whole
   domain. They allow you ( akismet ) to log in to the wordpress install, and possibly
   other cmses running on your domain.
 * I’m just not sure if it’s on purpose or not?

 * No, actually the codex says “Instructions on this page apply only to bugs in 
   the WordPress core, and do not apply to bugs in plugins.”
 * It’s not a security problem if you trust matt/akismet – they are the only ones
   with access to the session cookies.
 * Also it’s a 3rd party plugin issue, not a wordpress issue per se. It’s just that
   this plugin is included by default and users of wordpress should be aware about
   this 3rd party service and it’s security and privacy implications.
 * I have submitted a bug to the plugin author, but I posted here as a warning about
   using the plugin, not as a bug or security report.

 * Google looks like it HAS banned wordpress. PageRank 0 on the toolbar, and when
   you search for wordpress you don’t get the homepage. And when you search for 
   wordpress.org you get “Sorry, no information is available for the URL wordpress.
   org”.
 * BTW, for those linking to wordpress, be aware of this google webmaster guideline:
 * > In particular, avoid links to web spammers or “bad neighborhoods” on the web
   > as your own ranking may be affected adversely by those links.

 * I have written software to do this for bBlog. Not to difficult but I don’t think
   you’ll find a free program to do this as most people wanting to do multi hosting
   are doing it for money.
 * The main thing is to get the software running off one set of files. So hacking
   the config.php, to check which domain it is for and then getting the config for
   that domain out of the database.

 * If you only support php templates, then people who don’t already know php will
   have to learn it.
    And the same goes with smarty. But I think that the smarty
   syntax is easier to learn than the php syntax for beginners who don’t know either.
   But Smarty only comes into it’s own when you use it to it’s full potential. that
   is smarty based plugins , caching and functions. Example: Putting {getlinks cat
   =’blogs_i_red’} will get a list of links of the blogs you read and put them into
   your template. Also stuff like {$post.datetime|date_format:since} will output
   the post’s date and format using the ‘since’ style ( 3 hours ago etc) It means
   the templates tell the program what to display, not the other way round, making
   the program more efficent by not doing stuff that’s not shown in the templates.
   But to have something like that requires a modularized OO core . I did consider
   adding smarty to wordpress but I thought it would have been quicker to write 
   a blogging app from scratch (bBlog) and that way I could take full advantage 
   of Smarty. Just becasue I love smarty so much.

 * RSS/ATOM is for syndication, and doesn’t take into account different features
   of blogs.
    For example to change from MT to wordpress you will want all the sections,
   the users, the comments, the trackbacks all in one file.

 * You don’t need real directories. If mod rewrite doesn’t work, does this : ?
    
   Create a file called ‘archives’ and put in it <? echo $_SERVER[‘PATH_INFO’]; ?
   > in .htaccess put : <Files archives> ForceType application/x-httpd-php </Files
   > Now, when you go [http://www.youryoursite.com/archives/2003/04/21](http://www.youryoursite.com/archives/2003/04/21)
   you should see something like /2003/04/21 Basicly, you can then include index.
   php into that file after setting some paramaters. ( this is how bblog does it,
   and how i’ve always done it rather than mod rewrite. I’m not sure which is more
   compatible in terms of hosts supporting it .. the Files directive or mod rewrite.
