What is blogging? or What is a blog?

The wonders of blog are that they give the everyday surfer the ability to have their OWN magazine publication online. Running a blog is just like running a magazine online, you need to publish articles that your readers will want to read, sell and manage advertising space on the blog to maintain a constant revenue stream in order to pay for the costs of running said blog.

Like magazines you can have a general blog with random information about anything you feel like talking about or you can target the blog to a specific group or interest. I for example run this blog which is kind of my personal rants and raves, conspiracies and opinions etc. I have just launched a golfing blog for personal golf statistics Of which I am looking for golfers to blog on for a share of the revenue created from that blog.

Wow I kinda feel like a publishing company except all my magazines are digital. If there are any other people out there with a little bit of time on their hands each day that wants to take a crack at having their own online magazine then please read my Free Blogs page and drop me a line so we can chat about the options that are available to you for your own personal free blog and or business partnership.

Yet again I logged into my blog admin to find another update is available for Wordpress. Usually these updates are just security fixes to the Wordpress code or fixes to remove vulnerabilities exploited by hackers hell bent on making out lives a hassle.

So I did the deed downloaded the update and installed it, first thought was hmmm its making Database changes. There must be some serious changes in the latest version. After a few seconds I was told that the database was upgraded and I could view the site. No changes to the site thank god, login into admin and WOW that is some major changes.

Wordpress has made a complete overhaul of the admin control panel and I have to say it is for the better. The sidebar editor is way easier to use than previous releases, the layout on the control panel is very web 2.0 looking and easier to read. Frequently used tabs are prevalent in the dashboard area ’settings Plugins Users’ are smaller links on the right side but always there for a quick click. The overall UI has been made extremely easy to navigate and is much more friendly than it was on the previous release. I also had no problems with my highly custom theme on this site.

The greatest add on for me in this version is the one click plugin updates no more downloading new plugin delete old install new rinse and repeat. With one click you can simply update whatever plugin has an updated version. This saves SOOOO much time when running mulitple blogs.

Overall I have to say GREAT JOB Wordpress 2.5 is an absolute mush have for anyone using an older version of this powerful blogging tool. Two thumbs up and keep up the great work!

Now I know that many of you reading this blog will totally relate to this and you are welcome to use it anytime you want. I am the resident computer geek amongst my friends and family and am plagued with calls and inquiries related to computers. The most annoying part of it is that once I give the solution the problem in question, the same person that didn’t have a clue when they frantically called me for help begins to argue with me about the solution given to correct the problem.

If you are so damn smart why did you call me to fix the problem that obviously was beyond your scope of knowledge. Exactly no answer! It is people like this that have made this support form so exciting. I received this in an email once and have no idea who originally wrote it but it’s the best computer tech support request form around so I thought I would share it.

P.S. The same people that argue about the solution to the computer problem also have no clue what an “Id-10-t” error is. Strike one up for the witty
