I doubt that anyone argues that no two bloggers are the same, and not everyone has the time to create long, detailed, blog entries or pieces of content. Personally, I am a hybrid of the two and tend to write articles or detailed blog entries when absolutely necessary, but 80% of the time, I am more likely yo submit quick updates on a subject of the moment.
I am extremely pleased to have stumbled across the Prologue WordPress theme as I’ve been wanting to gain some experience with WordPress theme development, and what better way to do so with a theme that I could customize to suit my personal blogging habit. As a fanatic of Twitter and other microblogging platforms, I decided to fiddle around with the Prologue theme recently released to the public by the folks at Automatic, delivering a Gaboinked! version called Gaboogle?
I am a few tweaks (Not weeks!) 
away from releasing this theme to the public, but I wanted to share an early preview of the Gaboogle? Prologue WordPress theme with everyone! There are a few custom plugins and added features that are not present in the original Prologue theme, and I will be releasing these to the WordPress community as soon as time permits because they can be used on any WordPress blog.
If you are interested in seeing the Gaboogled Prologue WordPress theme in action, you can do so previewing the demo.
UPDATE:
This theme has gone through many revisions since this post and is now release to the WordPress community. For more information, visit the Prologue Gaboogle? WordPress Theme release page.
Everyone seems to have a facebook profile nowadays, and if you have a WordPress powered blog, then you should know that facebook has a feature they seem to hide in a very small link at the bottom of the profile page that allows you to create a facebook badge that you can display on your blog or website.
With the Facelook Plugin you can easily display a facebook Badge in the Sider Bar of your on a self-hosted WordPress Blog without having to hard-code your WordPress template or use the sometimes unreliable Text Widget. You simply need to create a facebook badge from within your facebook profile. Facelook has been tested on WordPress version 2.5 and should work on any WordPress version 2.3 and above.

Well what a day it was in the WordPress 2.5.1 upgrade realm. I just finished updating and committing my changes to the Gaboinked! Chipin Sidebar Widget for Wordpress, and happily noticed a new 2.5.1 upgrade package was available for WordPress. I took extreme care to upgrade the Gaboink! network blog, and everything seemed to go smoothly until poof! I saw a wp-admin blank screen when either trying to login or access the admin section directly.
I immediately search the WordPress forums and Google for a solution to no prevail, so I decided to delete every plugin to include my own to find the culprit and I did. I had the WP-SpamFree plugin installed and activated which for some reason has render itself not compatible with the 2.5.1 build of WordPress.
I did not take enough care apparently, because the upgrade directions clearly stated to deactivate any plugins, and I strongly recommend that this step not be ignored or skipped by any WordPress bloggers upgrading in the future.
If you are experiencing the same issue, I recommend starting at the plugin folder and finding the one that may not like the new changes to WordPress 2.5.1. Rest assured that the Gaboinked! Chipin Sidebar Widget for Wordpress is compatible.
The Gaboink! network would like to announce that today, the Gaboinked! Chipin Siderbar Widget was approved, updated, and is now available on the WordPress Plugin Directory located at WordPress.org. You can visit it’s Plugin Directory page by clicking here.
Enjoy,
