Remember when every other site was on Geocities? And remember how ugly all of the sites were?
Now it’s possible to bring back the glory days (1998) and make your current site look like a Geocities one.
Here’s what this site looks like. Lovely.

I get A LOT of requests for assistance. While I prefer that people ask for help with a topic in an article I’ve already written and leave a comment, I am not adverse to people emailing me or filling out the contact form. Calling for free help, however, is pushing it.
Some say that I shouldn’t offer any free assistance but I disagree. People have answered my questions and helped me out, especially Jeff Starr and Stratos. When I first contacted Jeff Starr, however, it was about an article he had written – I didn’t just ask him random questions and expect him to answer. I was also very grateful and thanked him repeatedly. And Stratos helps me out quite a bit and, although he doesn’t want me to, I frequently pay him. And someone that you answer a quick question for might become a paying customer.
But, here’s the deal. There needs to be limits, respect and patience. And here’s an example of what not to do.
Yet another week has rolled by and another week of me thinking of discontinuing this feature. Well, I guess I’ll see.
This week I have freelancing, Facebook, more Facebook, man-made disasters, The National and more.
Enjoy!
Previously, I’ve done two sets of simple WordPress themes; 5 Simple WordPress Themes and 10 More Simple WordPress Themes. Since a lot of people seem to appreciate the minimalism of them, I decided to showcase 5 more that I have found over the last month or so.
Sometimes, I think I would like to make the look of this site simpler but I’m not sure what I would remove.
There has been a lot of discussion recently about Facebook’s policies concerning our information and what is and isn’t private (not much unless you opt-out). Here is the Evolution of Privacy on Facebook(or perhaps de-evolution) and Wired’s article, Facebook’s Gone Rogue: It’s Time for an Open Alternative. Fast Company also has an article by Gina Trapani about the Facebook settings that we need to check now.
Some people, however, have had with Facebook and just want to delete their accounts. So, here’s how to do it but be forewarned – it’s easier said than truly done.
