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!

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
