All those things that were the headlines of the major blogs some months ago now are real with WordPress.com. The Write Post section has resizeable text-area, AJAX, WYSIWYG, a photo-uploading tool and little small details that really look nice.

There’s also a preview section that actually embeds your site’s stylesheet and shows you the content as any reader would see it.

In the Links section I can see the “disappearing-yellow yellow-fade” technique when a new link is added. Also when deleting a post.

This technique was pioneered by the folks at 37signals — yes, the Basecamp team.

For a more general technique, you could try FAT — Fade Anything Technique.

Good.
