Best Widgets for your Wordpress Blog
By admin | May 17, 2007
One of the niftiest things I discovered when I started developing this blog was sidebar widgets. Widgets are a fun, easy way to control the items in your sidebar. (or sidebars). For the version of Wordpress that I downloaded (V2.1 ), I had to download Sidebar Widgets - by Automatic, Inc. It’s an easy plugin to install, and it comes with a few easy to use widgets. Luckily, it is alot like Wordpress in that it is open for others to write great widgets to incorporate. Sidebar Widgets are even easier for those using the latest version of Wordpress (V2.2), sidebar widgets are included! Here are a few of the best Widgets that I have found:

Buying a Refurbished Mac from the Apple Store
By admin | April 29, 2007
One of the biggest hurdles to switching over to a mac from the windows world is the cost.

I agree that for the money, you get a great computer, but it is limiting that the bottom line computer from Apple does not dip down in price as low as come competitors.

Best Plugins for Wordpress
By admin | March 18, 2007
I am new to blogging and have experienced a bit of a crash course in what tools are the best to use for my Wordpress blog. Wordpress is great in that it is open source and allows anyone with the desire and ability to write applications to use with Wordpress. These applications are called “plugins”. It is great in that the vast majority of them are free of charge for anyone to use. The bad thing is that there is not much accountability for what happens if they don’t work correctly.

Macbook Pro
By admin | March 12, 2007
I have really enjoyed working on our new macbook pro. It is our first mac product of any kind (other than itunes running on our windows machine). While not perfect, it is generally more logical for me to use, and much more fun and appealing visually.
I hope to be writing much more on my experiences, good and bad, with the Macintosh.

By admin | March 11, 2007
I am excited to start this blog to add to my website. I will be adding more information on photography as well as the tools used for photography, including Apple computers.
I have had enough fun editing websites using Dreamweaver and HTML. The results have been so-so, and my website is painfully static! I’m looking forward to learning something new with this BLOG format and getting into database website design!
