Forums have been around since the Internet was created. Although they weren’t called forums back then (think BBS) they have always been the place of conversation. Today, forums are as prevalent as ever. If you can think of a topic, chances are, there is a forum dedicated to it with a big following. All sorts [...]

DashBlog 1.5 is a FireFox plug-in I’ve been waiting for!  You see, as a blogger, it takes a long loop of processes for me to get a photo in a blog post.  I’d shift-printscreen, open up microsoft’s photo editor, crop that picture, save it in a folder, fire up the wordpress blog… hit a couple [...]

I’m relatively “new” to the blogging world. Too young that I’ve only been actively posting, on a regular basis, barely 3 months. While I’ve had my brushes with some blog development projects, ah, I’m no expert. I’ve heard of Akismet, tried it on my personal wordpress.com blog, and like it. I [...]

I recently acquired a WiFi-enabled Smartphone for use as my main mobile. The Nokia E51 runs on the Symbian Series 60 platform (version 3), and can connect to the Internet via wireless LAN and other cellular-based systems like HSDPA, 3G, GPRS and a host of other acronyms that would leave me breathless. And so having [...]

So I help run this new media network with about 60 or so sites (ranging from the small, niche ones to the bigger sites with a more general coverage). One big task that usually eats up my daily todo list is managing ad placements. Well, at least I can say I would rather have a [...]

For a long time, I have wondered why there haven’t been more groups organizing themselves to cater to the companies that want to jump into blogging and do it right. Finally, Performancing, a Splashpress Media brand, has filled that void with Performancing Services. Performancing Services brands itself as high-end social media marketing and blog management.
They [...]

LifeSpy has linked an interesting little Firefox plugin tool called Shareaholic.
The Shareaholic extension for Firefox makes it easy for you to submit the web page you’re viewing to digg, del.icio.us, facebook, google bookmarks, reddit and stumbleupon. If you prefer, you can also e-mail the web page to a friend.
What a great idea! I wonder though [...]

One of our network of blogs, Apple Gazette, has posted a list of five applications that every OS X blogger should be using.

I’m sure a large number of you have blogs. Even if you don’t, you’ll find these applications helpful. Regular readers of the site will recognize some of these applications as I have written [...]

I have been thinking about this for a while. Ever since Habari has released its developer release, which is not really a blogging platform ready for prime time just yet, I have been wondering if there is something else out there that I should be trying out. Is there a tool, be it old or [...]

I only mention this post on Kyle’s Cove because it includes a Greasmonkey script for WordPress among other important sites for bloggers.
Greasemonkey seems to be growing ever more popular as people put together scripts to perform all sorts of functions. I think it is really interesting that people have found ways to add new features [...]

Lorelle is having issues with her web host, and wanted suggestions on what host to switch to. People have many answers, but they are sometimes conflicting. Is Dreamhost good or bad?
No, I’m not moving Lorelle on WordPress. In spite of the limitations, I adore blogging on my WordPress.com blog.
However, for over three years I’ve [...]

Terry Ng has written up his thoughts on what every blogger should have, and while I agree with some of what he has written, I must admit that many things in the list are out of this problogger’s price range. He lists things like an Apple MacBook Pro, Two Apple 23″ LCD Screens, and a [...]

While the name sounds similar to WordPress, and some of the look and feel might be the same, the creator assures us that it is a different beast, though he [...]
