Baby Websites is a pretty interesting proposition. It’s a sub-section of hosted blogging platform Squarespace that caters specifically to the doting parents who want to show off their babies online.
The praise given by Business Week on the homepage reveals the competition Baby Websites is up against: .Mac. Sure, one can compare it to the rest […]
Websites are built almost solely on its communities. In the case of blogs, the communities hang out in the comments section. That’s where all the socialization and exchange of ideas take place. But writing a thoughtful comment alone is difficult enough. Don’t make it any harder for your readers.

The Web would be much more chaotic than it already is without standards. Today we’re going to talk about how various content on the web is being represented by standardized icons. Several groups of people have come together and agreed upon these simple yet distinct icons for identifying syndicated, OPML, geotagged, shareable content.

Lorelle VanFossen is great. If you’re the least interested in the WordPress community you know this. She’s got a great blog, she is a great interview subject, and she does a great job giving us the weekly WordPress recap over at The Blog Herald. The latest one went online yesterday.

So are you using a desktop application to blog? Which one, […]

The answer, being yes they have, obviously, is also wrong.
No, blogs […]
This post over at The Blog Herald got me thinking. It’s about geotagging posts, which means showing people where you are on a map.
Why? Well, sometimes it might be relevant to see where in the world you were when you published a post, especially if you’re doing a travel-focused blog.
However, do you really want […]
In my opinion, it’s important to keep the readers informed, at least if you’ve developed some sort of reputation of keeping the updates coming - and suddenly they’re not. And since I’m doing weekday postings here on Wisdump, I wanted to make my point by telling you all that I’m in transit, on my way […]
