This is a novel approach, and might be particularly useful for WordPress.com Mac users. I use the WP-Footnotes WordPresst plugin on my own blog.

I like this a lot. Would it be possible to get a version that generates Markdown footnotes?

[...] One of the aspects of MarsEdit which appeals to me is the way it hides much of its power and versatility beneath a relatively simple interface.

Thank you for the feedback.

I came up with the name after several weeks of research. By the last week I’d narrowed my choices down to 7. In the end, I simply liked the way Like Wow Online sounded. It’s a technology website and many in the field are accustomed to a bit of humor. As for my readers, hopefully they find the name amusing and memorable.

For more on these types of choices be sure to stay tuned to the series Creating a Blog for Fun and Profit. In part 2 I tackle this very topic: Finding the right name.

Great concept, and great name for this website. How did you come up with the name “Like WOW Online”? What does it mean to you? What do you think it means to your readers/subscribers?

Comment on siFR and the user experience by Mark Wubben

Fair enough. Thanks for clarifying your points. I’d say that extended character support and scalability are issues with Flash, wmode / z-index are browser issues, and the others are issues with sIFR. Luckily sIFR 3 resolves nearly all of them (growing text is not supported natively, but it can be done).

Regarding future-proofing, I try my best to make sIFR future proof, but of course one can never be sure. Then again, how future proof is the CSS you’re using? With sIFR 3 upgradability should be better, because there are more detailed change logs. And personally I think v3 is much, much more stable than v2 :)
