so using this P2 WordPress theme, it’s interesting since it is meant to be a sort of intranet microblogging system I guess. When logged in, I have a quick post form that submits using ajax and apparently the page auto-updates so you get a real-time vibe. Not sure what the reload increment or if it’s doing a push or a pull or a hack hybrid of the two… have not looked at the guts of this theme too much. Anyway, whats interesting about using this theme is how is nudges you to post short messages while still allowing for long-form blogging. The result is this juxtaposed mix of micro and macro blogging. I also use categories to filter between short and long posts. I fel like I need to visually tune short posts maybe with a special border or background color. But all in all, I like mixing forms and think it will work for me and this blog.
