Wordpress blog view – link to main blog when viewing specific blog

This is for people who have access to the files for the blog. Simply go into your template folder. In my case it’s wp-content>themes>fjords04-10.

1. Open the file called single.php. (use wordpad or any decent text editor)
2. locate (on line 5):

<div id=”pagina”>

3. insert (on the next line):

<a href=”index.php”> Return to blog list</a>

4. save the file and don’t forget to (re)upload it to your web server.

Hope this helps some of you

doc2pdf.net – a great resource

I have been working on a very official EU project with multiple countries involved over the past few years. I would just like to acknowledge the amount of time and money i saved because of this website.

It advertises that it converts .doc to .pdf but much to my delight it has had no problems with .xls or .ppt files either. I chose pdf because it’s easy to work with from a read-only point of view (displaying to end user). I felt it was important to relay the official documents rather than transcribe them into web format. At present the site is still under wraps, so i can’t show how i have used www.doc2pdf.net but i can assure you i have used it hundreds of times.

Please support it

Social Media Sync-ing kept afloat?

So I now have a blog, twitter, facebook, bebo and all of my chat apps.

I use my twitter mainly for my short updates on what i’m doing. This in turn updates my facebook and bebo. Other sites i use may have a twitter badge in my signature. So twitter is really my main social networking tool, and it updates everything else.

Now, although it is my main, and will remain so, i do like the response i’m getting to this blog. I have decided to keep it alive for a while. Now i am face with a dilemna.

I am hosted on wordpress, and not on my own web domain. I have domains that I could use, but I don’t feel the need. However, I really want to update my twitter like Twitme or Tweet Me do, but i can’t upload plugins. What are my options?

I also want a way to synchronise my facebook and my blog posts, preferably without duplication. I’m not too worried about bebo.

Blogging versus Twitter

So yeah, i’m a self proclaimed computer expert and no i’ve never had a blog before. To be honest, I’m pretty sure this is my first ever blog post. I use forums, twitter, bebo, facebook, msn messenger, gtalk, skype, etc. But i never got into blogging

I have never felt the need, and still don’t feel the need to have a blog. But here it is, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this will be the only blog entry.

I’m an avid twitterer, i love it. Quick and to the point. If people are interested in my tweets, would they be interested in my blog? New people follow me all the time, so I said I’d finally dip my foot into blogging.

I think my progression is somewhat against the norm, as many seem to see twitter as a building block on blogging.

Please react to this blog if you find it, as i’m curious about this blogging thing…
