Continuing assessment

Not too long ago, I decided to have a go at upgrading my website. My original idea was simply to remove some elements on my page which depended on Javascript, to improve on the CSS design and then to possibly replace the trusty :mt: with a PHP-based system. Unfortunately, I did not get further beyond installing the engines (b2evolution and :wp:), porting of all the entries in my current blog using the tools supplied and played a little with the administration panel.

Tutorial resources

Just noticed that (via the wonders of RSS feed!) ScriptyGoddess has been collecting links to some online tutorials for learning about web stuff recently. This was also one of my aims with the links in the navigation menu on the right, when viewing the Blogging Category archive, but I guess you can never be too comprehensive!?

Copyright abuse

Read (this link will be no longer active once the offending materials have been removed) this morning that a certain Chinese website PConline.com.cn has been blatantly abusing copyright by copying verbatim (well, actually, the contents had been translated into Chinese) the review materials from Digital Photography Review, a site that I often go to learn about the latest in digital cameras. While I have been guilty from time to time of using copyrighted pics of movies or book covers, this is just too much!

Collective mind

Was in the middle of a searching online when I stumbled on to Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia. The significance and the magnitude of this project can only be grasped once you realise that the contributions to this great body of knowledge all come from ordinary people who venture on to the electronic realm – in short, people like you and me.

Smart blogging

According to Wired.com, here are some resources for budding bloggers: sites providing information about stories making the rounds in blogsphere, so that you too can construct coherent arguments on your blogs.
