What About Infographics?

January 3, 2012

Are you into infographics? I think it’s good to have a new way to show your point, visually rather than text. But, I’m not a big fan. Usually the graphic is too small for me to read them without squinting at the monitor. If I can’t resize it I often can’t read the fine print. [...]

Blog Copyright

December 29, 2011

» Blog Copyright. This is the plugin I use on my WordPress blog to change my copyright each year. You really don’t need a plugin for this. It’s quite simple to adjust the end date yourself. I like the plugin cause it keeps it in place (as part of my footer) no matter how many [...]
