Are there really any websites that aren't essentially blogs?
Okay, I know there are, but, considering that some people estimate about 1 out of every 5 sites runs WordPress, it amounts to the same thing.
In any case, these two tools I'm about to share can actually be useful to any website design.
I am not a designer.
This may be painfully evident from the look and feel of this website, which, I did not code myself. It is a WordPress-based website which, at best, I have "themed" myself, but with lots of help from code "borrowed" via Google and other sources. In fact, there are so many code sources it would be hard to link to them all or list them all or thank them all. It's the way of the web, I'm...

I am NOT a designer or web programmer.
Sure, I've dabbled with Perl enough to be a Level 11 Perl Monk on Perlmonks.org, but I'm not really a programmer. And I'm sure not a designer, either, even though I can appreciate really good design work. In fact, my ex-wife used to say that I was from the "big orange button" school of design, because I was more interested in the technology behind the button you pushed on a website than making...

Last week, I linked to a site to help you put your diet on autopilot. This week, I'm suggesting that you maximize your vitamin intake. Not through taking supplements, though that's not a bad idea...

So, we're eleven days into the New Year. How are your resolutions holding up?
If you're like most people, you've made a personal commitment to eat better and lose weight in the coming year. But, like most people, that little resolution won't last through the end of the first quarter. Well, the good news is that this is easier than committing to adding exercise to your daily routine! No, the answer isn't to go out and buy Tim Ferriss' books, the 4-Hour...

Specifically, Creativity Exercises for Photographers.
On this day, in 1660, arguably the most famous diarist in history, Samuel Pepys, made the first entry into his personal diary.
He kept his diary for approximately nine years, detailing everything from his personal life to the news of the day to even what he ate. Although he clearly kept his diary purely as a personal exercise, he must have suspected that it may eventually prove interesting to future generations based on the care he took to bind it and...
