Actually the comment thing was my fault I'm still learning what all the options do! Hey if you'd like an invite ... well I'll zap you one! Overall I'm liking not only the Wordpress.com system and DIY WP installs too. This is certainly a space to watch. Hi Des,

Great points. Actually the comment thing was my fault I’m still learning what all the options do! Hey if you’d like an invite … well I’ll zap you one!

Overall I’m liking not only the WordPress.com system and DIY WP installs too.

This is certainly a space to watch.

I've been waiting dutifully, checked and made sure they have my email address and then the other day a friend who has not blogged yet, ever, registered and got not one but two wordpress.com blogs in an instant. I posted about this here http://www.thinkinghomebusiness.com/blog/_archives/2005/10/4/1277951.html I tried to leave this comment on your WordPress blog but it's a catch 22: I can't leave a comment without being registered and if I try to register I get a 404 Page Not Found. Going to the wordpress.com site is no help - it's set up for you to leave your email address for an invite, which I've done, etc etc. Allow me to suggest that for your own sake you post a warning message that, as you are trialling this and it's a web-based service, you aren't able to control the action (or inaction) of the links to wordpress.com's site, e.g. for registering so one can leave a comment. Let's hope the mystery ends soon and they let the world know when the service will be generally available, cost etc. Des Tris
