It’s been around 10 hours since arriving in London for three years of university, an hour of that time spent looking for the cheapest bed-and-breakfast (a hostel of sorts) to plonk my stuff while waiting for my university accomodation to be ready. Moving from hostel to hostel asking for prices and room details reminded me […]

Italian Translation of What is “Using WordPress as a CMS”

Claudio of the WordPress Italy blog recently translated one of my earlier articles in the Using WP as a CMS series into Italian.
Check it out (that is, if you understand Italian :)).

That’s what “uncorking the juices” means to me. Yes, you’re probably calling me a nut at the moment, but I can’t blame you […]

Phew… I’m A ProBlogger

blogHelper was deemed to be Really Awesome only a few days back, so you might not have expected me to participate in yet another one of those viral “I’m a [insert something here]” kind of projects so quickly.

The Blogosphere, Technorati-style

If you haven’t already read August 2006’s State of the Blogosphere report (or have no intention to), here’s a short summary:

T’rati hit 50 million tracked blogs in July 2006, a whole 34% more than in the last State of the Blogosphere report in April. This means that the blogosphere is now 100 times larger than […]

Changing Your Blog’s Domain Name: Oh, The Pain!

I’m sure some of you have noticed that there has been an interesting blog domain name change in the past week or so. Yes, it was Dell’s decision to change its corporate blog’s name from one2one to Direct2Dell - with a corresponding shift in domain name.
Oh, The Pain!
WTF? Any individual blogger would have thought twice […]
