Friendster migrated to wordpress 2.6

As i was checking my friendster, i saw one of my friend’s blog post. I clicked it and was shocked to see the default template of wordpress. “ayos wordpress na, sana pwede upload ng template” as i said myself. It is wordpress with the friendster tab, blue bordered simple box tab.

In the Word Camp Philippines last september 07 2008 Bloggie announced that Friendster are hiring and in need for developers. He said that the devs will be responsible for migrating every single blog in friendster from typepad to wordpress. I didn’t actually expect that i can see wordpress friendster blog right away, i thought that they are still looking for developers to do it.

The migrating is still on going because i checked my other friends’ friendster blog and still find a typepad. 

My Experience

Creating a new blog.

first friendster will ask your preferred blog url

blogname.blog.friendster.com

then your set and start your blogging

They have an array of themes you can choose from, but you can’t upload your own templates, basic widgets. 

You cannot Edit your css but you can customize your header but only the color of the font of your blog name and blog description.
