I love coffee! No, I’m not an addict
I mostly drink for the experience. I’m writing this post sitting at a local Barnes and Noble, sipping Starbucks Cappuccino. If I didn’t have a cup of coffee I would feel like something is missing. When I wake up in the morning first thing I do is make myself a cup of coffee. I like to experiment. Let me explain. At first I would go to a local coffee shop to get a cup on my way to the office. I then realized how expensive it can get and decided to buy a nice espresso machine for my house. Half a year later I got tired of all the lattes and wanted something different again. Instant coffee. After a day or two I gave it to my mother as a present

Thomas Mackenzie alerted WordPress.org developers to a problem where logged in users can peek at trashed posts belonging to other authors. If you have untrusted users signed up on your blog and sensitive posts in the trash, you should upgrade to 2.9.2. As always, you can visit the Tools->Upgrade menu to upgrade or contact BlogConsulting.com for assistance where for a nominal fee we can take care of this for you.

Having choices in great! When there’s competition between companies, consumers will always benefit by getting better and cheaper products. Cell phone plans keep getting more affordable, number of minutes keep increasing. Take Sprint for example — they recently launched “Any Mobile, Anytime” plan where you can call any cell phone in U.S. and talk for as long as you want without using any of your plan minutes. A couple of years ago you would pay hundreds of dollars for a plan like that, and today it is available for, I believe, under $50/month.

I have only one. It’s called Entrepreneur. I had some frequent miles left that were not useful for anything other than signing up for some magazines, so I decided to go ahead and sign up for a bunch of them. Of that bunch there were Entrepreneur, Wired, Fast Company, Inc, and Forbes. To my surprise, or maybe confirmation, the only magazine that I could read from cover to cover was Entrepreneur. Not only that, but I couldn’t wait till next month to receive the next issue.

WordPress just announced a release of a BlackBerry application that allows you to manage all of your WordPress blogs from any BlackBerry phone.
I’m writing this post on my BlackBerry Tour. The application is really easy to use, it is packed with features and looks great!
I highly recommend this to any WordPress user that has a BlackBerry phone (iPhone version is also available). It is becoming more clear that WordPress is years ahead of its competition.
You can download this application from BlackBerry World App site by searching for the keyword: wordpress.
Happy Mobile Blogging!

Amazing isn’t it? Just 1 year ago you wouldn’t hear Blog, Facebook or Twitter words on TV even if you really looked. Now it’s all over the place! Larry King has both; Dr. Phil keeps asking people to check his Twitter account (not that I watch Dr. Phil); Oprah has a Twitter account; I remember just a couple of months ago CNN had a battle with Ashton Kutcher on who gets the most Twitter followers within a certain time-frame. Ashton of course won, with a little over 4,000,000 followers under his belt.

Artful Blogging is possibly one of the first, and only magazines that is purely about blogs and for bloggers. As the name may suggest the magazine showcases arts and crafts-type blogs. It is found in all major book stores like Barnes and Noble, and it’s published quarterly. The magazine is somewhat pricey at $15, but it’s full of blog reviews, in fact all 140 pages of it, there are also some tips on how to start your own blog, as well as blogging etiquette – what you should, and shouldn’t do in the blogosphere.
