Happiness about life choices
Interesting article in the Australian today about lifestyle choices and theaffect that can have upon your psychological wellbeing. Key factors that contribute to happiness include:
- healthy lifestyle
- long-term goals,
- faith
- working hours
- social participation
Your partners personality plays a part in this as well (a large part I would imagine!). Getting married to a nag would probably neutralize any benefit of the above… Article below.
WordPress – Simple Press VS BB Press
I have just started to evaluate two Forum add-ons for WordPress. My 15 minute look at either product left me undecided as to which software I should implement for a community website that I am currently working on.
Simple Press looks to be designed and developed from the ground up for integration into WordPress. It looks to have a comprehensive administrative interface and bells and whistles normally associated with dedicated forum software. My first impressions were that it would require significant styling effort to match the site I am working on.
BB Press on the other hand is an independent install which can leverage of a WordPress Installation and can share WP membership accounts and cookie authentication. It has actually been written by the authors of WP and is what they are using for their official Forums. Theming looked straight forward, however the administrative interface is not integrated into WordPress, either are the themes, which would require re-creating so as to match your site. Features are lightweight compared to Simple Press but that is not of a great concern to me.
I was just wondering if anyone out there has implemented either one of these products and what your impressions of them are?
Flock Web-browser
I have just downloaded and configured a new web browser called Flock. (http://www.flock.com/) It is actually pretty neat. Based on the mozilla engine, it aims to bring in all of your social networking sites into the one area.
You can access your email accounts like Gmail and Yahoo, access and post to Twitter and Facebook, post to your blog via a built in blog client (pretty basic) view rss feeds etc. I have been a default Internet Explorer user for many years, however the features in this browser and such that I think this will become my default web browser. I’m loving it!
I would love to know what you think.
Hello World! The search for a Word Press editor.
The time has come to revive my blog, and what better way to do this than start from scratch. I have told myself that it is time to start taking internet marketing seriously and as such, I am looking at getting up to speed with all of the new social networking technologies and what impact they can have on ecommerce businesses.
So before I get too serious, I need to find a decent editor for word press, and what I mean by that is a word press editor that can be run from windows, is easy to use and has some administrative features so I do not have to log into word press.
