You may have seen boxes appear in the last few months on people’s blogs that look like:
I have one on the right hand side of my blog. This service is called Blogrush. The idea is that you sign up your blog and they will display your posts headlines on other people’s blogs […]

It may be possible that some questions can not be answered, others are those that are not impossible but there is nothing that you have ever heard to explain the phenomenon, below are some of the questions I have been asking myself for some time where I can not find answers…. Are […]
When you use a smiley or emoticon - do people really know what you are saying? There seem to be many problems in communication / conveying mesasges that arise because of the lack of consistency in the use of smilies and emoticons. I propose that there needs to be a standard usage across the board.
It interests me that I always seem to be most productive when I am supposed to be studying. Not productive in terms of what I should be doing, rather things that I normally avoid but would rather do than study. I detest cleaning, abhor any physical labor, don’t like filing but do not like studying either. Here is what I almost always end up doing when I should be studying.
I have been suffering from serious computer problems, a heavy workload, cramming for exams and trying to keep the blog filled with unique and original content. John Chow reckons that his average posts take him ten minutes to write and although this is reflected in the quality of the content it is something that I am going to do until my exams are finished. I am going to put ideas that I would normally flesh out into a long post into a shorter one and invite comments. The best posts over this period I will then take the effort to re-write and encapsulate the ideas that are left in the comments.

The Australian Federal Government instituted a Do Not Call Register earlier this year. This is a system where you register your personal details and telemarketers are forbidden to call (except for charities and political parties). This is something that I have felt that was needed for some time and it was […]

Recently I was contemplating redesigning my blog, and was told by a regular reader that I need a really Large RSS icon to make sure readers have somewhere to subscribe to. This made me feel rather Inadequate and I decided to ignore the comment.
Days Later, as a point of interest I went out looking for some Beautiful and Large RSS images for my blog. I found some of these;

My last post indicated the plugins that I use on my blog. These are fine but some require that you change code in the actual blog. Changing code is not something that I think people should have to do when all they want to do is publish their thoughts and ideas in […]
Plugins extend and expand the functionality of WordPress. If you are hosting your own blog and want to have complete control over its appearance and functionality then plugins are for you. They are generally very easy to install and what they will do make it easy for someone who can’t or don’t want to touch the code to create a site that really rocks.
The concept is very similar to plugins for applications like firefox, where you can download code that increase what they can do see The Top 50 Lightweight Firefox Add-Ons. Powerful plugins and extensions that will not kill your computer for information about other plugins that I find extremely useful.
I have noticed that it is hard to find what actual plugins people use on their blogs and how they actually look when they are installed. Here is what I have currently installed on my blog and why I chose those plugins. Note that currently the only code changes to Wordpress and my template that I have made, with the exception of plugins are just to implement the threaded comments (just overwriting a file) everything else is as a result of the theme that I am using and the configuration of the plugins I have installed.
In one sentence plugins let you do cool stuff that you can’t do with a default wordpress install or by changing the code yourself.
The Plugins below are in no particular order and I am using all of them..
If you are using something else you think I should try - please post below, also consider subscribing to my RSS feed (either in your newsreader or via email) and share this with others.

After Working in IT for what seems a very long time, I do not generally like upgrading things. I have read the good things about the newest version of WordPress, and thought that added security and functionality are the things that I would like for my own peace of mind and that […]
