		<description><![CDATA[When is child labor not child labor? The answer, according to AOL-owned blog The Huffington Post, may be &#8220;When teenagers are producing content for the Internet for free.&#8221; HuffPost has been criticized in the past for exploiting writers by not paying them for their work, but any debate over whether or not such treatment is fair is about to kick up several notches with the creation of HuffPost High School, a site edited by a 17-year-old that will be filled with the work of teenage bloggers and the addition of high school writers to Patch, AOL&#8217;s community blog network. (MORE: AOL To Add 8000 Unpaid Bloggers in 8 Days?) AOL and HuffPost are said to be soliciting contributors from high schools and middle schools in an attempt to add younger voices to the Patch blogs, with a spokeswoman explaining that the company will partner &#8220;with parents and schools to provide young journalists with the opportunity to have their voices and stories heard.&#8221; How young, exactly? &#8220;Patch is not geared toward users under thirteen.&#8221; Beyond the legality of whether or not this counts as child labor—the stumbling point seems to be whether blogging constitutes labor (insert your own jokes here)—this plan raises all sorts of questions. Will the teenage bloggers be allowed to say whatever they want, if their parents/guardians don&#8217;t want them to? Who owns the work they create? Do any contracts they sign have to be co-signed by parents/guardians? Or even: How do you create one site that manages to appeal to 13-year-olds as much as 17-year-olds (and all age groups between)? After all, even if AOL and HuffPost manage to get away with creating an underage, unpaid content farm, there&#8217;s no guarantee of success.

		<description><![CDATA[This post originally appeared on Technologizer. In the past, I’ve said some nasty things about the WordPress iPad app. For the tasks I needed to do here and on other blogs — add and resize images, format text and link like crazy — the app’s barebones approach was simply inadequate. The app was also pretty buggy. WordPress released a big update to the app for all iOS devices. Most of the bugs are apparently gone, and there are some new features, including a quick photo button for camera-equipped devices, access to stats and support for 10 new languages. Unfortunately, WordPress’ latest app update is still missing major features that no blogging tool should be without. That means I can’t use it for anything but rough drafts. It’s inconceivable to me that a blogging tool would lack the ability to create links, but there’s still no easy way to do it in WordPress. Oddly enough, WordPress offers to make a link if you start typing out the HTML tag, but if it’s so easy to drop in the code, why isn’t there a link button specifically for that purpose? For that matter, the WordPress app offers none of the HTML buttons that you find on the proper website. There are no lists, block quotes, italics, page breaks or strikethroughs, and the lack of spell check is particularly dangerous given the difficulties of using a virtual keyboard. I’d stick with the WordPress website, but it’s too crash-prone to rely on, and it’s not formatted for the iPad. The last time I wrote this rant, a helpful commenter pointed out BlogPress as an alternative. Indeed, it’s miles ahead of the official WordPress app, complete with HTML tags and the ability to resize images while maintaining proportions, but it has drawbacks of its own. You can’t, for instance, preview exactly how a blog post will look on the web, and I can never get images to nest perfectly in an upper corner as they do in many of our blogs here. There’s no spell<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=83275&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bloggers at Google-owned blogger.com were locked out of their blogs for a number of hours overnight, apparently after a behind-the-scenes update that went awry. Users were warned on Monday that there would be an hour-long outage on Wednesday, for maintenance. But according to Netcraft, the site went down on Thursday and has largely remained so ever since. At the time of writing, the site is in read-only mode. Visitors can browse and read posts, but blog owners can&#8217;t add new content. Furthermore, all content added since 7:37 am PDT on Wesnesday has been removed &#8211; it&#8217;s not clear yet whether that means temporarily removed, or permanently deleted. We&#8217;ve asked Google for some more detail about the causes and effects of this outage &#8211; we&#8217;ll let you know as and when we hear anything.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=82283&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Be careful who you fire as you’re handing over your company, they just might sue you for $105 million. In fact that’s just what former Huffington Post blogger Jonathan Tasini’s asking from AOL and HuffPost in a lawsuit with possible class-action status, claiming he and other bloggers weren’t paid for their work. Those other bloggers number in the thousands&#8211;upwards of 9,000, in fact. Tasini argues that of the $315 million AOL ponied up for HuffPost, he and his blogging peers got nada. How much should they have? The lawsuit pegs the figure at around $105 million and names both HuffPost co-founders Arianna Huffington and Kenneth Lerer. Tasini&#8211;also an activist and twice Congressional candidate&#8211;was with HuffPost from late 2005 to February 10, 2011 and says he authored over 200 pieces of content for the site, for which he has yet to be paid. “This action seeks to vindicate the fundamental principle that the creators of value deserve to be compensated,” reads part of Tasini’s complaint. &#8220;TheHuffingtonPost.com has been unjustly enriched by engaging in and continuing to engage in the practice of generating enormous profits by luring carefully-vetted contributors, with the prospect of ‘exposure&#8217;…” Naturally the Huff Post disagrees, calling what it offered a chance “to connect” and help writers “be seen by as many people as possible,&#8221; in a HuffPost statement picked up by Forbes. &#8220;It’s the same reason people go on TV shows: to promote their views and ideas. HuffPost bloggers can cross-post their work on other sites, including their own. Aside from our group blog, to which thousands of people from around the world contribute, we operate a journalistic enterprise with hundreds of paid staff editors, writers, and reporters.&#8221; And those complaint bits you read above are Tasini being kind. Here&#8217;s what he sounds like with legal decorum removed: “We are going to make Arianna Huffington a pariah in the progressive community,” Tasini told the press this morning (via Forbes). “No one will blog for her. She’ll never speak. We will picket her home. We’re going to make it<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=76413&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember Blogger? Of course you do. But do you still use it, or did you start using WordPress or Tumblr years ago? Blogger is one of the oldest names on the blogging block, but hasn&#8217;t had a lot of love from its owners for a long time. Aside from a gorgeous and easy-to-use template design tool launched last year, its user interface languished in a bygone era of the web, and just didn&#8217;t come close to the modern stylings of more recent competitors. Blogger just looked out-dated. That&#8217;s about to change. The new Blogger is bang-up-to-date and looks much more like many of the other web services Google has built over the years. Blogger was co-founded by a young man called Evan Williams. Back when blogging was new and exciting, Blogger was briefly the coolest thing around. It just kept growing, and got sold to Google. (Evan went to to found a tiny startup called Odeo, and one of Odeo&#8217;s side-projects turned into something called Twitter, but that&#8217;s another story.) Then the new young upstarts like Moveable Type and WordPress came along, and Blogger was no longer the hot blogging ticket. Now Blogger claims 400 million active readers, and 5,000 novels worth of new words a day. That&#8217;s a lot of content. If you were Google, wouldn&#8217;t you want to be doing something with all that content, and giving the people who write it better ways of doing so? Of course you would. Suddenly, Blogger has regained its cool, and bloggers everywhere have something to celebrate.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=70527&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New from the people at WordPress is Jetpack, a helpful add-on for those who manage their own personal copies of the popular blogging software. WordPress is by far the best-known and most-used blog tool around these days, and it comes in two delicious flavors: WordPress.com is a fully hosted service, operated and maintained by the WordPress people themselves. WordPress.org, on the other hand, is there for the control freaks among us &#8211; the people who have to have complete control of their own site, right down to the server it&#8217;s hosted on. This is the version you download and install yourself, lovingly maintaining it through thick and thin. The differences go deeper than that, though. The hosted .com service is constantly tweaked by the WP team, and comes with lots of extra bells and whistles that simply aren&#8217;t included with the .org download. Until now. The new Jetpack plugin for .org users achieves some extra special web magic. You still have the freedom and control of hosting your own personalized copy of the WP software, but you also get access to some of those additional bells and whistles. Such as: stats, short links, spelling and grammar checks, and a pile of other useful features, with lots more promised in future updates. For a lot of people, it&#8217;s the best of both worlds. Announcing it, WordPress head honcho Matt Mullenweg wrote: &#8220;Our users have been banging down the door for this. Every time we launch something new on WP.com the first question is always asking how people can get it for their self-hosted blog. Now you can have your cake and eat it too — host your own blog, completely under your control and with the freedom of the GPL, and still get all the cloud goodies of our hosted service.&#8221; A bunch of some of the most popular web hosting services (Dreamhost, GoDaddy and Media Temple to name but three) are supporting Jetpack from day one, so for a lot of bloggers, getting started with Jetpack should be as easy<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=69764&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent blog post by the Lorain, Ohio Morning Journal&#8217;s editor Tom Skotch, in which he appealed to local writers to contribute to the newspaper&#8217;s blog for free, has brought up the controversial debate of  &#8221;hiring&#8221; citizen journalists. While many comments from professionals claimed it devalued the work of journalists when a publication tried to solicit pieces without payment,  Skotch&#8217;s appeal does bring up the important point that writers who want to get their opinions known might as well jump at any opportunity to write for an established newspaper or magazine because people they&#8217;ll have a wider readership &#8211; and that should be payment enough. I see nothing wrong with working for free for clips and bylines to establish a reputation &#8211; trust me, I know more about this that almost anyone else: I&#8217;ve done nine internships, not including numerous freelanced pieces that I basically did for nothing (if not for free). Part of working gratis at an established media outlet is getting the opportunity to work with journalists and editors who can help you learn from your mistakes. What bothers me about Skotch&#8217;s post is not that he&#8217;s not going to pay his writers, it&#8217;s that he&#8217;s going to let any member of the public write anything they want without editing it. &#8220;We don’t screen, edit or review what they say,&#8221; he wrote in the piece. &#8220;[The posts] belong to the bloggers. The bloggers can write them at home. Of course, we ask only that the bloggers follow some common-sense basic principles of good journalism that we outline.&#8221; I do see why Skotch is offering to not edit any work. If a blogger has to worry that someone is going to change their work, they will constantly fear that they&#8217;ll never get to write whatever you want and opt to go on their own venue. It&#8217;s less work for your publication if you don&#8217;t have to edit pieces, you&#8217;ll get more stories on a daily basis all the time saving and resources. But, allowing just anyone to write whatever they want in exchange for<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=61936&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Windows Phone 7 owners who run WordPress blogs now have an official app for their phones. The free WordPress for Windows Phone 7 works with both wordpress.com and self-hosted wordpress.org accounts, providing quick access to posts, comments and stats. Post creation provides basic features such as rich text formatting, media uploads, and category and tag functions. It&#8217;ll work for short posts while you&#8217;re on the go but owners of more heavily trafficked sites will likely find themselves using the app to moderate comments, check stats and make quick edits to existing posts more than anything. Clicking on an existing post&#8217;s title gives you the option of viewing the post in Internet Explorer, viewing comments left on the post, editing the post or deleting the post altogether. Media uploads are restricted to photos, so adding short video and audio clips isn&#8217;t an option unfortunately, but for quick posts, updates and stat checks, the WordPress app is a must-download for Windows Phone 7 owners who use the WordPress platform to run their own blogs.
