Part of getting my iPod Touch is that I get to download movies by Universal from iTunes which is great - but I want to spread the love. The latest film I was given is Fast and Furious - a sequel to a film with a ridiculously similar name (which I guess is a conversation for another post). The film is a return to its roots (hence the similar name) with Vin Diesel and Paul Walker reprising their roles as [...]

WordPress 2.7 Complete is squarely targeted at the new WordPress user. The chapters actually cover quite a broad range of topics, including everything from the initial installation of WordPress, through adding and customising new themes, and even creating your own WordPress [...]

Finalists Originally there were to be 3 finalists, but so many good sites were submitted that I've picked the ones that interest me most and listed them below.

The redesign will focus on building more of a community feel, and making the site more personal - in short focusing on what the you want rather than what I want. Some of the things I plan to add include recent comments, popular posts (based upon comments), and ... a link list. I have already started creating my link list, filling out the wordpress blog roll, but [...]
