Subscribe to the comments for this postHat Tip to Alex Sysoef of HowToSpoter Web 2.0 Fame!
Today I’d like to acknowledge Alex Sysoef of How To Spoter Web 2.0 fame.
Not only does he run the incredibly useful site
WordPress Web 2.0 Spot-Er
that contains articles like:
- Get Personal With Your Commenters – Boost Your Subscribers (Video Guide)
- PHP Speedy Turns WordPress Into Speed Demon
- Fixing Brians Threaded Comments Plugin
but he also proactively helps out his readers (like me!) whenever difficulties are encountered.
From including screen shots of helpful steps to spelling out precisely the 1-2-3 steps you should do when enhancing/upgrading wordpress and various/sundry plugins…the information is downright stellar.
His how-to guide, especially, on Brians Threaded Comments was most useful to me (turns out my theme doesn’t play nice with that plugin), and at others times I’ve been able to drop him a line to ask for his insights.
I *highly* recommend you visit his site, sign up for his feed, read his Wordpress Web 2.0 Free guide, and benefit from his insights like I have. You won’t be disappointed!
Enjoy,
Barbara Ling

Morning!
Recently I’ve noticed a growing interesting the art of Netiquette (or simply, treat others the way you’d like to be treated). Two posts that have dealt with this are:

Be a covert angel and help YOUR friends help THEIR causes
Morning!
A few weeks ago, I wrote Be a hero and proactively avert online disaster for your real life friends - ’twas a quick little post that described how you can proactively monitor your friends and family via Google news alerts. Let me tell you, that’s been a lifesaver on several occasions for my technically clue-seeking friends - I’ve been able to give them the headsup whenever a news article appeared about which they’d want to take action.
What else can you do for the folks you value?
Why, help them help themselves promote causes that are important to them, of course.
Many people who are casual Internet users aren’t aware of the tremendous power that Read more »

Make money with high gas prices - 109+ Resources and Ideas
Morning!
Unless you’re a fossilized clam, or perhaps have been quick-frozen in marshmallow carbonite, you’re probably aware that gas prices (especially in the USA) have increased a weeeee bit …
kinda sorta like an avalanche offers a weee bit of snow or a hurricane bestows a weee bit of raindrops or yours truly drinks a weee bit of coffee or :) …
and have risen faster than a rollercoaster ascends the skies (but, alas, hasn’t dropped off and leveled as quickly either).
And while it truly would be peachy-neat to ignore this fact of life, reality remains. It’s freakin’ expensive to fill up a MommyMobile ($67 for my Dodge Caravan over the weekend)!! Of course, this means that less driving will be done, alternative driving options will be uncovered, and a new lifestyle will be embraced with all the passion of a parent comforting a bodily-fluid-encrusted sick child (it has to be done, but wow, it’s amazing how truly icky being smeared with said bodily fluids can be).
Right?
Well then, if dems de fax, all that remains is for you to say to yourself: Read more »
