Kids today…. think they know everything etc. - and while they are off with their latest gadget that allows internet roaming, some iPodPhone thing or other, and they rack up vast phone bills finding out about Britney Spears, what are we ancient business types going to do? Sometimes you do need your own disk drive at your fingertips with a little more information than the average gadget memory.
Having a lot of work stacked up and nothing fun to do, I decided to ignore the work and give Habari a test installation on a localhost, just play around with it for an hour or two and see what the deal was with the core code.
To be scrupulously fair, these vague observations are the product of an hour or so, and of course, not authoritative in that regard. Against this, I have no great love for the present direction of WordPress… 2.5 seems laudable in most ideas, but not quite the finished version at present - there is still the spectre of bloat here, and I don’t think viable competition would do WordPress any harm at all.

Something that has a look of a network, or even a portal, as we used to say - very nice in the design on the page, but the important part is the content, is it not …
Auto News & Reviews and Financial News have an established look to them - and yes, the articles are (generally) a cut above the standard fare available elsewhere. A definite North American slant in most cases, but that might just a function of the particular niche category.

I’ve got a WordPress blog, should I go to the trouble of setting up a (Google) sitemap for it?
No.
Why not?
The clue is in Google’s “locate web pages our spiders might not otherwise find…” - that’s what a sitemap does, and WordPress, if and when set up properly in its permalink structure will do the job just as well. Read more »

Today’s site is a design blog published by Stylish Web Design, and the niche is a collection of tips and tricks about computer and internet development - there’s some web design content, but the majority at present is concerned with desktop matters.
As for the design itself - stylish in the modern way of the powder blue and grey Arial business template with embedded video and personal icons for those that want them - true to say, blog design has come a long way from the early “here’s 10 posts on the front page, and like it”… One USP to set the blog apart from the many others in the niche is the calculated inclusion of personal content, just to lighten the tone a little - some might quibble, I don’t mind that sort of thing at all.

Admin Themes? What is that all about? Well, it’s obviously part of the masterplan, since the option became available.So what is the great attraction in having a skin to stare at while doing important things like editing posts, culling comments etc. Like skins for Firefox, these things do rather slow down productivity.
As usual, some clever plugins and articles have arrived, but… surely, only extreme narcissists need apply….
Well, they did say 5 years ago, that link directories were dead in the water and that Google had figured them out - not so, there still seems to be a fair few around the internet - one such quality directory is dirmania.org, a paid submission directory, although at the relatively nominal prices of $4 for a standard listing, and $7 for the premium, with the usual benefits.

Jesse Garner (known as Jennifer to his friends) is setting out on the long march towards PR6 with BlogChemistry, promising the standard formula of WordPress themes and general PHP programming know-how…
He would always be welcoming of your support and am happy to offer mine to a mate… and we did let him borrow the “true sliding-doors” trick for the horizontal tabs.
