Comment Notifications!

2012-02-11T00:34:20Z

A few months ago we added Notifications to the WordPress.com Toolbar and recently we released a Chrome extension so that you can always keep up with the activity on your blog. Today we’re adding comment notifications, complete with comment moderation and reply functionality. When your post receives a comment, you’ll get a Notification that looks something like this:

If you’re using threaded comments, you’ll see if someone responded directly to you, right in the notification.

You will see Approve, Spam, and Trash links in your comment notification if you have permission to moderate comments, allowing you to moderate the comment from within the notification:

Clicking Reply automatically approves a comment and displays an area for you to type a reply in. When you’re done, just click Reply and you can get back to whatever you were working on, without having to navigate to the dashboard to manage your comments.

You can still manage comments in your dashboard, but we hope you’ll find the comment notification a convenient shortcut.

For more information about comments and comment moderation: Comments, Manage Comments.

New Themes: Splendio and Suburbia

2012-02-07T21:47:06Z

Happy Tuesday! We’ve got two unique free themes for you today, and they are quite a study in contrasts.

Our first theme, Splendio, dazzles with an unconventional yet stylish design from Design Disease that pops out of the box — literally.

How you use this theme is limited only by your imagination! It comes loaded with features: six widget areas (one in the right sidebar and up to five in the footer), featured header images, and a custom background. In addition, there’s a showcase page template (pictured in the screenshot above) that includes a featured slider for sticky posts, and a nifty compact listing of your latest posts. For details on how to set up the Splendio theme on your blog, consult the Theme Showcase.

Our next theme, Suburbia, is as orderly and minimalistic as Splendio is eccentric and playful. Designed by WPShower, Suburbia’s attractive arrangement of posts inside a grid make it an excellent choice for magazine-oriented sites.

Suburbia makes use of featured images to display your posts in a clean, refined style. If you’d like a post to have a larger featured image, mark it as a sticky post. In this manner, you can highlight your most important content. In addition to featured images, Suburbia supports five optional widget areas (four in the footer and one in the sidebar on single posts and pages), a custom background, and custom header image. As always, you can click on over to the Theme Showcase to read more about Suburbia.

We look forward to seeing how you use these two great themes.

Duotone: Now Video-Friendly

New Themes: Currents and Debut

2012-02-02T21:37:45Z

Today, I’m excited to introduce the latest additions to our collection of premium themes.

Currents is perfect for news driven sites. The phrase, “less is more” couldn’t be more true. This clean and minimal design maximises your reader’s focus on the content. Having said that, the theme is packed with many customization options — a wide featured post slider, custom news areas, six alternative color styles, and more. Together, all of these features help you to control how to present current events you want to share with your readers.

Think your readers might check your site on a mobile device? No problem! Currents makes your site look great on an iPad, iPhone or any other mobile device.

This is not all about this great theme, Currents — so be sure to read about it on the Theme Showcase.

Next up is Debut – a beautifully designed theme by Luke McDonald of Press75.

Debut is a mobile-ready theme custom tailored to present your content in a professional and eye-catching manner. Five beautifully designed post formats provide you the flexibility needed to display media of all types. Musicians may be specially interested in the audio post format which expands into a multi-track playlist. Highlighting specific content couldn’t be easier with Debut’s Home page template which includes an innovative, customizable content slider as well as a featured area that can display in both grid and list styles.

Read about its features in detail in the Theme Showcase!

Import from Tumblr in 3 Easy Steps

2012-02-02T13:27:02Z

We’ve recently noticed that a fair number of you have been bringing your tumblelogs over from Tumblr to WordPress.com using one of the variety of Tumblr to WXR conversion tools which exist on the web. We thought you would appreciate an easier way to import your content, so we bring you 3 easy steps to import your content.

Authenticate with Tumblr

To bring your tumblelog’s content to WordPress.com, head to Tools → Import in your WordPress.com dashboard and look for the Tumblr importer. If you don’t already have an account here on WordPress.com then head over and sign up first.

Click the link to get started and then enter the email address you used to sign up to Tumblr, your Tumblr password and click Connect to Tumblr.

Start the Import

The importer will then fetch a list of your blogs and let you pick which one to import. Click Import this blog to get going.

Once you have started, the import progress will be shown on the import page and you will be sent an email when the import is finished. We try super hard to make sure that all your Tumblr content, including your Videos, are imported into your WordPress.com blog. Videos you had uploaded to Tumblr are imported into VideoPress and other embeds are converted to use shortcodes. Sometimes the importer finds an embed it can’t convert and a list of these is included in the import completion email for you to check.

If your Tumblr site has a custom domain (like you.com instead of you.tumblr.com), then you’ll need to disable the custom domain temporarily while the import is processed. You can do this by going to your Tumblr Dashboard, clicking on the Settings button and then un-ticking the “Use a Custom Domain” checkbox:

Then you’ll want to set up Domain Mapping on your WordPress.com blog so that your readers can use the same domain to reach your site as before.

Style Your New Site

WordPress.com supports Post Formats which allow you to distinguish between the different types of content you post on your site. While you wait for your content to be imported why not customize the design of your site by picking one of our post-format-enabled, Tumblelog-ready themes.

If you have any trouble importing your blog you’re welcome to contact support where one of our Happiness Engineers will be glad to help out. To learn all about WordPress.com’s features, we encourage you to check out our handy tutorial. We also provide comprehensive feature documentation at our support site.

Chrome Users: Try the WordPress.com Extension

2012-01-27T22:16:04Z

Want to receive WordPress.com notifications instantly, even when you’re not on WordPress.com?

Add the new WordPress.com extension for Chrome and as soon as you get a new follower or a new like on one of your posts, a notification will appear in your browser:

Simply click the icon to view your latest WordPress.com notifications:

Start following new blogs without visiting WordPress.com

The Chrome extension also makes it easy to follow sites from your WordPress.com account by displaying a Follow button whenever you’re browsing a site that has an RSS feed.

Clicking the Follow button will add new posts from the website to your reader, and send you an email each time an update is published. (You can change your default email settings if you like.)

When you visit a WordPress.com site, you’ll notice that the extension icon will turn blue, but keep in mind that you can follow blogs on Blogger, Tumblr, and other services, too.

Quickly post cool stuff you find while browsing the web

Press This is a lightning-fast way to publish content on your blog without ever visiting WordPress.com. Click the WordPress.com extension, then select Press This whenever you find something on the web that you’d like to share on your blog, and a pop-up editor will appear:

Select the blog you’d like to post to, then hit publish to share a link to the site. Your blog will be updated, and you can continue browsing the web from wherever you left off.

If you’d like to publish an excerpt of text along with the link to the site, simply highlight the material with your cursor before clicking Press This:

And it will appear in the editor for you to publish along with the link:

We hope this makes it easier for you to share cool stuff on your blog quickly! If there’s anything you’d like to see in future versions of the extension, be sure to let us know.

Your Stats Have a New Home

2012-01-26T22:25:16Z

Are you addicted to checking your site stats? You are not alone. The stats dashboard has always been one of the most popular admin screens. It’s gratifying to know that people are visiting your place online.

With the WordPress.com front page evolving into a one-stop shop for posting, exploring, following and reading blogs, it seemed natural to put your blog stats there, too.

You’ll still find your stats in the dashboard for a while, but the My Stats tab on the WordPress.com home page will soon be their permanent home. We hope this makes it easier for you to keep tabs on your traffic!

If you’d like to attract more visitors to your site, check out these great resources on boosting your blog readership:

(Note to Jetpack users: Your stats will still be available in your wp-admin dashboard. However, you may still enjoy viewing your stats on WordPress.com.)

Reblogging is Back!

2012-01-22T22:58:05Z

As we mentioned last week, you can like and reblog posts directly from your reader, which displays a stream of all the updates published on all the blogs you follow from your WordPress.com account.

We’ve also brought the reblog button back to the toolbar that appears at the top of the screen when you’re logged into WordPress.com. Note that you’ll only see the like and reblog options while you’re looking at individual posts.

For example, you’ll see this on the left side of your toolbar while viewing http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/01/20/read-blogs:

And your toolbar will look like this while you’re browsing the home page of en.blog.wordpress.com:

How does reblogging work?

Reblogging is a quick way to share posts published by other WordPress.com users on your own blog. People have been reblogging others’ posts since blogging started, but our new reblogging system enables authors to retain greater control over their content.

When a post is reblogged, it shows up with a link back to the blog it came from, the first image in the post, an excerpt of the post’s introduction (if it contains text), and thumbnails of any other images that the post contains. It also shows any comments left by the person who reblogged the post:

Reblogs published on blogs you follow will also appear in your reader:

What happens when my posts get reblogged?

An excerpt of your post will be published on the reblogger’s site (with a link back to your original post), and you’ll receive a reblog notification in the post comments (you might need to approve it first):

You’ll also receive an email notification of the reblog.

Do I get credit when someone else reblogs one of my posts?

Absolutely! All reblogs contain a link back to your original post, so the more people reblog your posts, the more likely it is that you’ll attract new visitors (and perhaps new followers, too!).

What happens if I reblog a reblog?

If, for example, Stephane reblogs a WordPress.com announcement on his site and Lori reblogs Stephane’s reblog, Lori only re-publishes any comments Stephane made about the announcement. If Lori wants to share the original announcement, she should reblog the post from en.blog.wordpress.com, not from Stephane’s reblog. But if Stephane leaves a really clever comment, Lori might want to share it by reblogging his reblog on her site.

Can I edit a post I’ve reblogged?

You can go back and edit the comments you left when you reblogged a post, but you cannot edit any parts of the original post excerpt (including the post title). If you like, you can add categories or tags to the post. Reblogs show up under Posts → All Posts in your dashboard, and they can be edited the same way you edit your own posts.

New Theme: Newsy

2012-01-21T00:23:42Z

It’s been an extra big week in the news ’round these parts, so much so that the launch announcement of our latest premium theme seems like an extra extra good way to headline our Friday.

Newsy is a versatile business and news-friendly theme that offers up to ten different layouts, four footer columns, custom link and accent colors, and a custom site header. Brand and content-focused editorial teams will love publishing with this theme.

Newsy: Home Page

Designed by Themify, Newsy comes with an impressive set of Theme Options that afford you a great deal of flexibility with how you choose to display your website. Easily control your site’s sidebar positions, home page and archive page post layouts, and navigation bar search box visibility.

You also have the ability to change your site-wide link and accent colors. A few quick adjustments via the options panel will truly have the effect of individualizing your site and making it stand out from the crowd.

Newsy: Accent and Link Color Examples

Up to ten different layouts in Newsy can be achieved by simply altering your widgets and Theme Options. A wide sidebar, narrow sidebar, and two mini sidebars come rolled into Newsy, as well as additional post display and sidebar alignment options.

Newsy: Wide Sidebar Left, Narrow Sidebar Right Option

All of this is controlled either from within Appearance → Widgets or Appearance → Theme Options. The goal with Newsy is maximum flexibility without the headache of manually configuring a thousand theme options. In this case we really can say that less—well, fewer (options)—is more.

Newsy is a premium upgrade for your blog at $85 for a lifetime subscription. Read more about its features on the Theme Showcase or dive right into previewing it on your blog from Appearance → Themes.

Read All Your Favorite Blogs in One Place

2012-01-20T00:53:40Z

If you feel like it’s a chore to keep up with all your favorite blogs, you can now read posts from all the blogs you follow (even the ones that aren’t on WordPress.com!) in one convenient place on the WordPress.com home page:

Your reader displays all the posts across all the blogs you follow in the order they were published, with the most recent content appearing at the top. You’ll see an excerpt of the introduction to each post, the first image in the post, and thumbnails of any other images that the post contains.

You can even like and reblog WordPress.com content directly from the reader (we’re working on bringing reblogs back to the toolbar!) using the icons in the top right corner of each post:

Whether you’re at the computer or using the WordPress app on an Android or iOS mobile device, having all the posts from the blogs you follow in one place makes it easy to find the updates that are important to you, and skip over the ones that aren’t.

Click in the toolbar at the top of any WordPress.com site (you must be logged in to see it) to add new blogs to your reader. For directions on adding blogs from Tumblr, Blogger, and other services to your reader, check out the support document on managing the blogs you follow.

Discover New Blogs, Too

To find some awesome new WordPress.com blogs you might like, check out the Recommended Blogs section of the reader:

Right now you can browse blogs in twelve different categories, and we’ll be adding more very soon.

Use WordPress.com as a Real-Time Information Network

If you want to see what people are saying about your hometown, favorite sports team, or a concert you attended last night, add any topic to your reader to create a stream of all posts published with that tag.

You can add as many topic streams to your reader as you like. You’ll notice frequent updates being published under general topics like “art” and “books,” but you can also add more specific topics like “Picasso” or “J. K. Rowling.”

Want less email?

Each time you follow a blog, new posts from that site will appear instantly in your reader, and you’ll also receive them by email. If you prefer to receive email notifications on a daily or weekly basis, or not at all, you can change your default email settings from the bottom left corner of your reader. You can also change your email notification preferences on a per-blog basis.

Senda del tren minero de Arrazola

2010-06-01T19:16:03Z

Los cinco kilómetros del valle de Arrazola estuvieron recorridos hasta 1920 por un ferrocarril minero de vía estrecha, que se utilizaba para transportar hasta Durango el mineral de hierro y cobre que se extraía de las minas del Anboto. La última de las minas en cerrar fue La Triunfante. Apenas quedan rastros de ellas. Unos hornos en ruinas y restos de mineral indican que allí hubo actividad industrial.

Han pasado los años y salvo la caja del tren minero, el valle de Arrazola, escondido entre los imponentes paredones del Anboto y y la montaña domesticada de Besaide, sigue tan verde y rural como siempre.

Un buen sitio para comer le recomendariamos el restuarante Mendigoikoa

Noticias: Salvador de Bahía se asusta con la llegada de medio millar de pingüinos

2010-06-01T19:16:03Z

RÍO DE JANEIRO.- Salvador, uno de los principales polos turísticos brasileños por su promesa de sol y calor el año entero gracias a su posición tropical, ha recibido en las últimas tres semanas medio millar de 'turistas' especiales que no está preparado para atender: pingüinos procedentes de la Patagonia.

"Tenemos grandes dificultades para atenderlos. Desde 2001 no habíamos recibido ningún pingüino por aquí y desde el 17 de julio pasado ya han llegado cerca de 500", dijo la bióloga Sheila Serra, coordinadora del Instituto de Mamíferos Acuáticos (IMA) del estado del noreste brasileño Bahía.

Esta cálida ciudad, inmortalizada en diferentes novelas por el escritor brasileño Jorge Amado y que fue la primera capital de Brasil, es una de las más afectadas por la insólita llegada de miles de pingüinos debilitados y moribundos a las playas brasileñas.

Y es que, por su ubicación a unos 2.800 kilómetros de las playas del litoral del sur de Brasil, en donde los llamados pingüinos de Magallanes sí suelen aparecer por esta época, en el litoral del estado de Bahía no es común su presencia ni existe infraestructura para recibirlos, recuperarlos y devolverlos al mar.

"Primero los ubicamos en el centro de rehabilitación que estábamos construyendo y después tuvimos que improvisar alojamientos en las piscinas, en las clínicas y hasta en nuestro auditorio", afirmó Serra.

Al IMA, que recibió con celeridad una autorización especial del Instituto Brasileño de Medio Ambiente para atender a los pingüinos, están siendo trasladados los animales que llegan a las playas de Salvador y a otras regiones turísticas vecinas como Ilheus, la Bahía de Todos los Santos, el Morro de São Paulo y el litoral norte del estado de Bahía.

Pero otros pingüinos han llegado aún más lejos, hasta los estados brasileños de Sergipe y Alagoas. "Montamos una base en la ciudad de Aracajú en donde tenemos los diez pingüinos que se han aventurado más lejos", afirmó.
Sin visita desde hace 7 años

Según Serra, los pingüinos no llegaban al estado de Bahía desde 2001, cuando unos 20 animales fueron arrastrados a esa región por los cambios en las corrientes y en la temperatura de las aguas provocadas entonces por el fenómeno de El Niño.

"Aún no sabemos a qué obedece la avalancha actual, pero creemos que el fenómeno de La Niña y algunos de los cambios climáticos provocados por el efecto invernadero están enfriando las corrientes marinas y arrastrando las aguas frías de la Patagonia más al norte. Incluso en Salvador la temperatura del agua está actualmente tres grados centígrados más fría que lo normal", dijo.

"Pero esos pingüinos soportan temperaturas que varían entre los 7 y los 30 grados centígrados. No son de zonas totalmente heladas y por eso no llegan a sentirse totalmente incómodos en Salvador, en donde la temperatura promedio es de 28 grados centígrados", agregó.

"Los pingüinos llegan a las playas debilitados, deshidratados, con el peso por debajo de lo normal y la temperatura del cuerpo muy baja"

Las autoridades han realizado incluso campañas informativas para evitar que, como venía ocurriendo, algunas personas en un intento de salvarlos los coloquen en cubas con hielo o hasta en la heladera.

La bióloga aclaró que los pingüinos se trasladan en principio a locales cálidos debido a que es necesario recuperarlos tras su larga jornada y porque llegan a las playas totalmente debilitados, deshidratados, con el peso por debajo de lo normal y la temperatura del cuerpo muy baja.

Por ser en su mayoría jóvenes e inexpertos, los pingüinos que llegan a Brasil tras ser arrastrados por las corrientes a más de 5.000 kilómetros de la Patagonia pierden la capa de grasa que los protege y terminan agonizando por hipotermia.

"Revertir el estado en que llegan es muy complicado y tenemos que tratarlos con medicinas y alimentarlos con puré de sardina. Pero estamos logrando un proceso satisfactorio de recuperación y ya conseguimos que algunos se alimenten solos", afirmó, tras reconocer que la atención no ha evitado la muerte de unas 200 aves.
