A Little Boost to Your Photos and Galleries
2012-05-30 22:12:00
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a digital photo is worth even more. All digital cameras embed extra information in each photo — things like camera make and model, date and time the photo was taken, focal length of the lens, shutter speed, etc. We’re happy to announce two new features on WordPress.com for digital photos that will take advantage of your digital photo’s EXIF information! Automatic Rotation From now on JPEG images will be rotated automatically after uploading according to the camera’s original orientation. No more manually rotating all those portrait photos! What’s more, the rotation is “lossless” and preserves all embedded information in the image file (the JPEG image format is “lossy”, meaning that each time the image is edited, some of the fine color nuances may be lost). In short: your photos’ orientation/rotation is automatic and their image quality is preserved 100%! Gallery Sorting There are...

Introducing WordAds
2011-11-29 01:52:00
Over the years one of the most frequent requests on WordPress.com has been to allow bloggers to earn money from their blog through ads. We’ve resisted advertising so far because most of it we had seen wasn’t terribly tasteful, and it seemed like Google’s AdSense was the state-of-the-art, which was sad. You pour a lot of time and effort into your blog and you deserve better than AdSense. Well we think we’ve cracked it, and we’re calling it WordAds. Blogs are unique and they shouldn’t be treated like every other page on the internet. There are more than 50,000 WordPress-powered blogs coming online every day, and every time I explore them randomly I’m always surprised and delighted by how people are using the platform to express themselves. As a WordPress user you’re breathing rarefied air on the internet: the Creators, the Independents. Creative minds aren’t satisfied being digital sharecroppers on someone else’s domain, and ...

Kan dekonstruktionen dekonstrueras?
2008-04-12 18:34:00
Den slags kritik som Jacques Derrida utformade och utövade hade en tom kärna. Att tala om en kärna, en grundval eller en utgångspunkt för dekonstruktionen står naturligtvis i motsats till dess grundläggande utgångspunkt och till själva kärnan i Derridas projekt. Likväl är det svårt att göra sig en bild av en företeelse och försöka beskriva ...

Hello world!
2008-04-01 11:42:00
Att avhålla sig från omdömme och hålla tillbaka sitt godtagande är den klassiska innebörden hos ordet epoché, ett utryck som myntades bland antikens skeptiker. Att göra epoché innebar idéalt att helt undvika tro. Kastar vi ut tron förlorar vi också vetandet och tvivlet men enligt de pyrriniska skeptikerna vinner vi i stället ataraxia, det upphöjda ...
