wordpress.com golden ticket

Last week, I’ve signed up on Wordpress.com for a chance to get an invite and create an account on Wordpress’ hosted blogging service. Today, while I was checking my mail, I received an email with the subject of “WordPress.com Golden Ticket”. This may be a lucky day for me since for now, just like the Gmail invites a year ago, only a limited few have the chance to use it. It’s a bit like Six Apart’s TypePad, but WordPress is free.

Of course, I can also install it using the free downloadable stable release of WordPress 1.5.2 “Strayhorn”, but since I’m already using MovableType on my blog, I’ll just try to see whether what they say ,that WP is good if not better than MT, is correct.

My Wordpress blog account is located on http://ronaldryan.wordpress.com and anyone of my friends or somebody who actually reads my blog can have a free Wordpress invite just by asking me for it.
