03.27.08A quick look at Wordpress 2.5 BetaWordpress 2.5 is about to be released shortly, and in a correctly cautions fashion – wordpress has released a beta version for public testing before the final version is released.

03.26.08Forget launching a website – just launch a blog insteadIf you listen to a local radio station, or use a community resource, such as GAA or even a Credit Union, you will most lightly find that they all have a website of some description.

This is something I cannot confirm for myself, as I am no longer a three customer, so if anyone else can confirm this for me?

08.20.07Google Alternatives: Is Google getting Greedy?Today I decided, ‘why not give another search company a chance’, I only use Google, because I am so familiar with it, and to change search providers would be an inconvenience, so I said today I will change my default provider to ‘Live Search’. So I went into internet explorer and changed my settings to Live search, and clicked ok, but for some reason it continued using Google and ignored my request, then one of those little pop up balloons informed me that Google had blocked my request, and this window ( see above) popped up. Now, as you know ...
