Not much to report here other than the fact that Automattic has released their vector icon fonts for blogs for use in your very own projects. You can add CSS effects if you’d like as well and they are calling it Genericons.

Fighting to Be Your WordPress Managed Host
The bar is continuing to be raised this year as more and more players are jumping into the managed WordPress hosting space – heck, we even shared this morning about one that launched for NPOs and Churches! But the hosting business is a tricky one and it’s an industry that we at WP Daily are paying close attention to because it’s been scooped that even we are getting into the business (I share some candid thoughts in two recent interviews as well here, around minute 23 and here near the very end).

Tips on Building a Great Team Around a Blog
