Blogware migration to WordPress, thanks to PressHarbor

Thanks to the team at PressHarbor my blog has successfully migrated to WordPress. Now to explore the depths of the software further.

As you can see from John’s comment below I made a mistake thinking that it’s being hosted by Rackspace too, the servers we use for IT Counts. However, what that error did throw up was that Rackspace IPO’d on 7 August, one of the first cloud computing companies to go public. However, on its opening day, the stock price plunged 20% to $10. Ironically enough, Wall Street was hoping that the Rackspace deal would help spark the IPO market.

Called up my UK-based share dealing service, share.com, which I have already got US trading rights sorted only to be told that it’s too early to buy, and to try back in a few weeks. Cheers!

More slander than libel in online setting?

On Saturday I posted a piece on slander and libel in online networks, thanks to a piece from Matt at FreshNetworks, which followed a recent court case where defamation on a bulletin board was decreed to be slander rather than libel due to its conversational nature. Talking about it today with my IT colleague Paul (who has a precise way of thinking and is a master of MS Excel), he wondered whether defamatory blog posting as publication would be libel whereas a defamatory comment to a blog, would as conversation be counted as slander?
