TechCrunch is reporting that MovableType and TypePad now have iPhone interfaces. The new interface detects you are using iPhone and allows you to create and edit posts, manage comments, configure mobile settings for posting photos from your iphone. Cool.

Over at Search Engine Land, Durova points out that there is an untapped opportunity for SEO at Wikipedia. Seems that photos are lacking big time on the Wikipedia. You can fix that by uploading them and getting credit.

When faced with building a new website, you find that there are a lot of tools to help you. The following are tools that I have used lately, extremely time savings, and all are standards compliant. If you use any of these, I assume you should know basic CSS, HTML and some basic Adobe Photoshop skills.

1. Blueprint - This CSS framework recently moved to Google Code.  Blueprint aims to cut down on your CSS development time. It starts you off with a CSS foundation to build your project, with an easy-to-use grid,  typography, and even a stylesheet for printing. It took me all of 5 minutes to figure out how to use, and another 5 to have my layout complete. See a website built with Blueprint here.
2. Blm Mult-level effect menu is a hybrid CSS/Javascript menu that was a breeze to setup. It has options for horizontal or vertical. Very simple to integrate into a website. Easy to customize with the CSS file included.
3. Open Web Design is for people who need a website up FAST. It’s easy to plug in whatever content you need into one of the free templates. However if you have some time you can easily make one of the templates your own by adjusting colors, fonts and your own images.
4. Give your website some fashionable rounded corners with Nifty Corners.
5. Grab yourself some free Web 2.0 gradients for photoshop to pretty up your header section and your website background.
6. Plug in some content, or buy some content over at Digital Point, Generate your Google Sitemap and submit your site to Google, and Digg it.

Well, a little good news for early iPhone Buyers. Steve Jobs is giving early adopters a $100 store credit. This should be good news for some early iPhone buyers who have been saying they really don’t mind that the phone price went down so soon. Now you have $100 to play with. I suggest blowing it on iTunes.

I feel the burn of the early adopter iPhone buyer today. Apple did the unthinkable yesterday and dropped the price of the iPhone by $200, and totally wiped out the 4GB model. WTF? As I’m sure all the people who stood in line are thinking. It is a little shocking that Apple did this, seeing as iPhone sales weren’t exactly slowing. At $299, you can get the new 8GB iPod, but for $100 more the iPhone. I don’t know about you, but why not spend an extra $100 and have everything in one device?
