Tipd.com moderator discussion continues..

When I first emailed you, I noted that you submitted 5 stories all from your domain. I emailed you about the 2 Zemanta submissions and noticed that you had also submitted 3 more stories from your domain introducing your blog as a design blog and another submission entitled “Hello World!” (which in case you didn’t realize, both have no relevance to Business or Finance).

I sent you a polite warning to not submit your sites as such and you took this as an argument. We strive to provide good content to our users and you are clearly polluting the site with only your own submissions. FULL ARTICLE +

Some design news from me – plugins and such garbage

I have just tried out sweetcorn, All in One SEO Pack, SEO Smart Links, WP-Cumulus and they do nothing. I’m not a freebee in WordPress but I really could not make them work. Sure, sweetcorn is not a wp plugin and I did not try to use it as such. The other’s are and I find no sense in using them. Just to let know you. So I deleted them. The other plugin that basically bugs me is HelloDolly. Why is it included in Wordpress by default? What sense does it make? So I deleted hellodolly because I found the plugin directory…

Now, I’m trying some snaphot plugin and just a minute… They do nothing, I activated them and refreshed the site but nothing. FULL ARTICLE +

What if a nuclear bomb is dropped in your city, will you feel it?

I found this great google map where you can try out which bomb would which kind of damage. There is 2 more App where you can calculate the damage one is built by FAS: link, the other one is by the CSS expert Eric Meyer: link – this one is quite advanced. But the Carlos Labs Ground Zero production was the ultimate source I was stucked by so here it is:

Wordpress 2.7 is not bad

By the way I wanted to drop some lines about the latest WordPress upgrade. First time I installed it I felt I’m using a platform I’ve never used. I felt chaos, the buttons looked ugly, some still do. So then I downgraded, I had to find the old version at oldapps.com… No matter, I gave it another chance when I launched barnabasnagy.net and installed the newest stable version 2.7 and after a while I started liking it. But really it’s not as bad as it seemed, I had to switch to blue scheme from the default gray and it was already better. FULL ARTICLE +

What to do for living?

I’m really getting off writing on my blogs and waiting for good user feedback and checking the comments with zero reply rate. Why is that? I want to earn money! I also got a nice request for freelance design job by one of my commenter. I sent my samples but no respond till now. It really drives me crazy. Yesterday I still did not finish my touch-screen project, and the worse: I found dozens of more interesting topics to read (not about touch screen) so I’m gonna sink. Have someone a solution for this? FULL ARTICLE +
