Good to see:) Also http://wordpress.org/ (different style with call to action).

Annoyingly, this also includes the codex and extensions gallery.

As far as I can tell, this is only the wordpress.com homepage (not the blogs they host) which is probably mostly unused.

blacking out all the blogs they host (i.e. protesting against censorship by engaging in large-scale censorship) would be incredibly uncool and sure to do more harm than good.

I agree completely, but my point is that what they're doing is likely to have little effect -- who goes to wordpress.com?

They could offer an easy "censor my site" option for sites hosted on Wordpress.com

Any WordPress.com site can protest by going to Settings → Protest SOPA/PIPA.

If they would do that (which they won't, ever .. never) .. Well it'd be bloody awesome.

The plugins may be even more useful: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/sopa
