Shhh! We don't want people to catch on to this! How are consultants going to make money! Of course I'm joking, and this should be true. Good CMS shouldn't be painful to set up, nor should it take long. CMS also should be: Search engine friendly (if on a website) Added to a website early…
This site is interesting, not really for the WordPress information, but for how many of these features already exist in Blogware-powered blogs. Bread crumb navigation, check. Images (slide shows even!), check. I haven't dealt with large import files, so I don't know how that goes. Really the bottom line is that I am very happy…
I'm finding it more and more interesting that all the features that people have had or wanted to have in websites for the past five years or so are rapidly being added to blogs. Blogging seems to be spurring a whole new wave of online innovation. This has got to be a good thing. I…
I think Jon has summed up why blogging is important. I think is it a fair question, maybe cynical, to ask, “Well they said that about the whole web thing didn't they?” Yeah, they did.

Although I signed up to view the BlogOn 2004 webcasts, I never did. I have been tracking the posts from the BlogOn blog, though. This morning both eWeek and C|Net had articles on BlogOn. The big story is that businesses are blogging. Microsoft has the very successful Channel 9 and most every new software company…
Interesting stats here showing the popularity of blogging world-wide. The only (small) flaw in the logic is Blogspot might be considered American. And while the company is American, non-Americans do use it. Like I said, small flaw. The important point here is the power of blogging in freedom of information and democracy. Since it is…
Amy Gaharan with a collection of more Furl tips and tricks. Oddly enough I flip-flop between Furl and PDF. I often PDF whitepapers or articles I've found. I just went up to Furl and found how many interesting articles I had stashed up there. I need to work Furl more into my whole knowledge management…
