People ask me all the time, “Hey, you blog, right?  How do I get involved with that?  It seems like everyone’s doing it these days and I feel left out.”  Well, the first thing you need to do is find a place to blog.  There are all kinds of free places you can do it, but honestly?  The only way I’d recommend someone to go is with WordPress, either on their hosted space or on a server-side installation.  PopFi runs off WordPress and, for all its flaws, I wouldn’t recommend any other option for anyone blogging due to WP’s ease of use and (crucially) customizability.  Thanks to these 100 free WordPress themes I found via NewsTechZilla, the hardest part about becoming a blogger is the actual blogging!

That’s what I love most about using WordPress on my own hosting space; if I get tired of my site’s look, I can change it with little to no effort on my part.  Just select a new theme under the Presentation menu and I’m good to go!  If you’re not technically inclined, your web-host will usually install WordPress for free when you buy even the smallest of hosting packages, and they’ll often help with installing widgets as well.

Really, if you want to blog, there is no good reason to hold your tongue.  Just be careful what you say, because you can get in trouble for blog posts.   These days, anyone with something to say can announce it to the world.  Who knows, you might even get famous!

Lots of things are described as “fit for a queen,” but if you want a car that was specially fitted for The Queen, as in Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, you’re going to have to pay up.  The car was purchased from Jaguar by specialty memorabilia dealer Peter Radcliffe for 65,000 British pounds, or […]

For years, neighbors in the Foothills Community neighborhood have had problems with how Catharine and Robert Pierce live.  The pair are routinely seen outside of their home wearing only thong underwear, but when Catharine did a little topless gardening, that’s when the law finally got involved.  After multiple complaints to condo organization Boulder Housing Partners, […]

The world of copyright lawsuits is a messy and often stupid one.  One company sues another company over a copyright of something that may or may not be valid.  In the case of Google’s YouTube versus Viacom, the company itself might be at fault.  Viacom says YouTube is “a rogue enabler of content theft.”  However, […]

Google has not stopped trying to expand its business.  Having conquered the Internet search landscape, they now use their many billions of advertising dollars to expand, either by buying up properties they’re interested in or launching new businesses in foreign industries.  It’s all about expanding their lucrative advertising base.  That’s why Google has apparently partnered […]

I thought I was the only one bemused by the Census 2010 ad campaign.  There’s been a constant bombardment of ads of all types reminding me that in a few weeks I’ll be getting a big piece of paper in the mail from the US Census Bureau, and that they want all my identifying information.  […]

There are Apple fans and there are Apple fans.  For instance, when an Apple fanatic and food blogger Ken at The Cooks’ Den wanted to pay tribute to Macintosh’s head cheese he did what came natural.  He put his foodie skills to good use and made a bust of Steve Jobs out of cheese!  He […]
