Best Wordpress Themes: 2012
It didn’t matter that the year was over, one thing remains the same - I’m churning out sites with brand spanking new Wordpress themes every two weeks. There’s a ton of exciting stuff becoming “standard” in this year’s Wordpress themes, like shortcodes, the 960 Grid, and themes that continue to push Wordpress into CMS status. Check out my totally upgraded Best...

Finally...got an iPhone 4S!
I’ve switched from Droid to iPhone and couldn’t be happier. It’s just better, all around. The touchscreen sensitivity is better, the apps are WAY better, and who could forget about all of that cool aftermarket stuff? I’ve been writing a few helpful articles over on Squidoo about it, such as how I was able to connect my iPhone 4S to my Linksys router. After encountering a...

Re: Buying a Men's Silver Necklace...
After having spent a lengthy amount of time getting a new sterling silver necklace, I decided to simply pool up everything I’ve learned and make a brand new Squidoo lens all about buying a men’s silver necklace. Everything’s in there, from basic facts about silver, to the many different chain types out there, and even width & length (and how they affect price). Hopefully...

Do Domain Coupons Really Matter?
If you’ve ever bought a domain name from registrars like GoDaddy, Network Solutions and the rest of the fray, you might have seen that “enter coupon” or “promo code” field right before you make the final payment. The truth of the matter is that one simple code can cut 5%, 10% or even half off your order, and these coupons come and go on a regular basis.
Before you...

We’ve all been there - brain freeze takes over when we need to find that “good” or “good enough” domain name that doesn’t seem to be available.

PlayStation Move: My next impulse buy
Now that it’s officially mid November as of today, the 15th: I’m starting to wonder about the availability of the PlayStation Move. It could very well be the ‘it’ item for Christmas 2010, even though it’s been around since September.
Since I’m still in need of a Blu-Ray player, I’m thinking that PlayStation 3 could serve my purposes. Those motion tracking...

Remotes with LCD Screens?!
In my weekend revitalization of my old Squidoo lenses, I came across my lens about Remotes, and researched new ones to add to it. I couldn’t believe how cool some of the ones out on the market are: touchscreen, full color LCD panels, the works. Ridiculous. Makes my crappy old K-mart one look like a disgrace. I might have to pick up one of those Logitech remotes, once I can justify spending...

Monsters Invade Squidoo, Bearing Trophies
If you haven’t caught wind of the new Squidoo trophy system, you’ll want to dust off your old account and smile at the trophies it probably has waiting in it.
What are trophies? Squidoo’s own “badge system.” Do things, earn points, level up, and earn badges along the way. More badges = more eCred amongst your fellow internet nerd buddies. It’s that simple....

Create Your Own Facebook Page!
Wait…you mean to tell me you don’t have your own Facebook Page yet?!
Today, Facebook Pages are held in such high regard that multimillion dollar companies are willing to advertise their Facebook Page URL right on a primetime TV commercial, rather than their own corporate website. Why?

Geez, I’ve had this account since Tumblr came out back in 2007! It’s about time I’ve done something with it. So, here’s the deal: I work so damn hard on Squidoo.com that it’s about time I started showcasing the stuff I stay up past midnight working on :)
