I have long been a fan of Morguefile and their approach to image licensing.  Basically, Morguefile has a huge database of photographs that are open for use without attribution.  The photographers may enjoy some recognition but the creative license does not require it. So basically you can search the database of free images, modify them [...]

Are you running a WordPress blog? One very important aspect of the blogger’s job is to keep track of his web traffic. It is good to know how many visitors you have and whether that number is climbing or tanking. It’s also good to know as much as you can about your visitors. Where did they [...]

Over the last couple of years we covered several parental control and Internet security tools. Most of those articles look at filtering as part of the safety plans. Filtering, in my opinion, plays an absolutely necessary role in keeping you, your family and your computer safe while on the Internet. Forget about accidentally coming across offensive content.  [...]

Like I said, WordPress began as a simple content management system for bloggers. It was pretty light, fairly [...]

When it comes to the web browser, one of the important aspects of it is whether or not it is customizable. We all like our own user experience on our own computers, right?  Well, as I wrote in an earlier article, 2 New Reasons Google Chrome May Pull Ahead Of Mozilla Firefox, the way Chrome handles [...]
