Well I give Google something if they are going inconsistent they do it well timnash.me.uk had a PR of 5 which was lowered to 4 before I 301'd the domain after the ranking issues timnash.co.uk up only a month magically has a PR of drum roll please 3! - So I join the magic 3 club with my SEO peers!
Payment Blogger went up to 4, though I think it was hit by a penalty so I doubt it will stay there.
But of all of them ventureskills.wordpress.com is the odd one its still a PR 5 on the main page but several sub pages are PR 6 and at one point last night one data centre was saying 7 for a couple which had been linked to by yahoo developer network and the BBC. venture-skills.co.uk dropped from 6 to 4 but that is not a suprise.
All in all I think its further proof if needed that PR is once more total rubbish.
I am a metal monkey!

The only thing I can say for sure is that Google has changed somehow the PR algorithm. And my guess is that it is not only about links now, it must have something else too or they filter wich links they will count in a very strange way.
The good thing is that they did that so wrong that people will finally understand that pagerank is not an important thing
