As ever i’m constantly pondering changes to this site to make it easier to update. Wordpress is great at what it does, although often it takes so much effort to shape and mould that i’ve no time left to actually post content. As such i’m wondering if it would be more useful to scrap Wordpress [...]

wordpress loyalty?
Apparently today is The Unofficial International Wordpress Day and the organisers are asking wordpress users to blog about wordpress. Fair enough, but what to talk about?, well one wordpress blogger decided to discuss “what makes you loyal to wordpress?“, and so that seems like a good question to try and answer.

the revolution will not be televised
Just read a really good article by Wil Wheaton on the communication revolution and why it scares the big corporations as we the individuals become more connected and empowered. It’s the very things i’ve been thinking and trying to articulate recently.

hello vienna!
After much frustration with igoogle and in turn google reader over the last week i think i’m throwing both of them out, atleast until I figure out why they’ve suddenly gone sideways.
