Credit goes to Josh Smith for noticing that something fishy was going on. It’s true. We were not part of the AOL purchase deal of Weblogs, Inc. If you look around, you’ll see that the Weblogs, Inc. directory listings have been removed from the site. Hack-A-Day will continue as an independent entity
Can you change it so capital letters aren’t changed to lower case?
Great!! Congratulations

Like some of the others, if Hack a Day is looking for donations (hopefully via Paypal) to cover its expenses, I’ll be first in line to drop in a few bucks.
rock on hackaday! that’s great that you’re goin independent, I’ll back you 100%
fight the man
Now would be a GREAT time to remove “beta”…
since the overall layout of the site hasn’t changed, I gather that part of the spin-off agreement included some of weblogs inc’s code base. Is it going to stay this way? If necessary, the site could switch over to the free/open-source slashcode base. It could be very interestng what might happen in the next few weeks and months.
Jason Calacanis, the boss of Weblogs Inc posted about the H-a-d spinoff. you might find it interesting to read what the big man had to say about the deal. it seems that they were worried that someday h-a-d might post something relating to hacking aol or an aol service so they decided to nip that problem in the bud.

No, what the boss says is pretty much the whole deal. See the copyright notice at the bottom of the page has changed to Hackaday,LLC. This site and the actual Blogsmith software weren’t sold to AOL. The site will continue to operate in at least a one Hack-A-Day capacity, but it sounds like I’ll be doing more work for Engadget. Fbz and I will be doing How-tos for them. I’m glad to have you folks on board no matter what happens.
Open source software…independent blogs…intellectual pursuits can’t be stopped if enough people care more about finding new and better way to do things than how to make money. Kudos, hackaday. Damn…i think i feel a tear…
Good job there, but I can’t help but hope that someone will some day buy my blog so I can pay off some bills.
congrats to you hack a day. thanks for being the best webblog out there!
You go man ;)
