Wordpress.com is free blog based on the latest alpha of Wordpress 1.6
which has a new dashboard, WYSIWYG post editor dan a little bit of ajaxing. You can get your invitation by sharing your email at Wordpress.com.

But you can also easily drop your email at Silenteve.net to be listed on the waiting list. Now I am waiting for my invitation. After me there is only one person waiting. Why don’t you grab the chance to have one. Now there are only 868 subdomains of Wordpress.com (I’ve search in google with this keyword site:wordpress.com. Is this the correct way?)

    I’ve got 4 invites to give away anyway. Though I’m waiting for them to go official before I give them out or unless you’re a geek blogger because it’s still in alpha-soon-to-be-beta stages and I would save it for people who actually know what they are doing. There is and will be a lot of downtime as Matt updates the DB to quash the bugs and do updates, but that’s about it really.

    Oh…your related entries don’t work. You haven’t done a full text indexing yet.

    I just want to try the new interface. I will not make my blog official until wordpress.com become official.

    1. Add a full text index to your wp_post table:

    ALTER TABLE `wp_posts` ADD FULLTEXT `post_related` (
    `post_name` ,
    `post_content`
    )

    This is best executed using php admin tool.

    I don’t understand how to do this. I’ve added post_related field, but it didn’t seem to work. :(

    The instructions are in the readme. I’m not sure what version of related posts you got, but for simplicity use version 1.3.3. Then all you got to do is click on the link in your plugins page to auto index your db and you’re done.

    thanks a lot edrei. I was using version 1.1

    the readme is more understandable:

    If automatic creation of a full text index fails. You will have to do it manually. Just open your database in pmpMySQLadmin and run the following command (just cut & paste):

    ALTER TABLE `wp_posts` ADD FULLTEXT `post_related` (
    `post_name` ,
    `post_content`
    )
