Everyday there are 10’s of thousands of new blog posts hitting the internet. Lets face it blogging can be both fun and rewarding.
The internet today really is a level playing field. One where the average person can compete directly against largest corporations.
On the site here, I list some of my experiences with the various software I’ve used and come to love. With your own blog you can share your insight and experience with the world, as I do here.
I enjoy writing about content mangagement systems such as Drupal, Wordpress, InsiteCreation etc... But, not from a truly technical point of view...
...more from a users experience point of view. There will always be arguments as to which software platform is better, and it really depends on the needs of the individual or corporation.
Then you’ll run into the arguments over which is better for search engine optimization. And many people are more than will to sell you all the tools you’ll ever need for that purpose...
...Yet, later in life you’ll discover for yourself a simple secret, which can be summed up in a few of my favorite quotes:
The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right. - Hannah Whitall Smith
Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is in the doing, not the getting--in the trying, not the triumph. - Wynn Davis
How Far Will You Push Yourself In Life?
Technorati Authorization Page
I found it kind of Ironic that Technorati has stopped accepting pings to let them know about updates.
Yet, can you really blame them with the influx of blogs and many who use blogs for spam etc...
It was bound to happen, so now you have to create a post and upload it with the code embedded into the post so you can claim your blog.
This is nothing new, Google, Yahoo and others have been doing this for years so they can verify the true site owner. I often find my blog posts especially on this site hijacked by scrapers. Read more
InsiteCreation - Content Management System
This past week I finally had the time to sit down and work with my website Perfect-Business-CD that uses InsiteCreation 2010. Coming from static html sites, Wordpress and Drupal it has it's learning curves.
Primarily as to where everything is located, and how to configure it properly. I had actually started on the site back in May when LeadersClub brought it out to its members. Read more
Using Drupal 6 Views To Create Offset Recent Posts.
This past weekend I was searching for a way to take the recent posts block and have it display offset posts and limit it to 5 posts.
I found information on creating it by using php code inserted into a block, I was looking for something simpler.
The solution was to start leaning more about the Drupal Views module. So when in doubt it always pays to read the manual. In the Views tutorial there is a section titled "Create a block of author's recent blog posts." Read more
Making Better Use of the Wordpress Thesis Theme Categories
On Thanksgiving day, while waiting for the turkey to finish cooking I did some searching on the web. I was looking for a solution to make better use of the the categories in the wordpress Thesis theme.
While most people using Thesis will no doubt simply check the box that to not have the page indexed by the robots it kind of deletes the purpose of having those pages anyway. Read more
LiteJazz Plus RootCandy Theme For Drupal 6
When it comes to choosing a theme for Drupal what is it that you look for in a theme?
Over the past three weeks I wanted to give one of my sites a new look. I looked at all the Drupal themes for version 6, there are quite a few that I found intriguing.
I had used a previous theme that had been converted from the wordpress theme Revolution Music by RoopleTheme. Since I had one of the developer packages for the Revolution theme I put the theme into use. Read more
Summer Is Over - Bummer
It is simply amazing how fast time flies. I took off from writing on my various blogs over the course of the summer. The time was not wasted though.
Every now and then we really do need to stop and recharge our batteries, otherwise life becomes monotonous.
The really sad part is I got to spend way to much time catching up on the news issues each day. How truly depressing, you would have thought the election cycles where over. Read more
