I own a couple of websites. I simply love them and yes, for the obvious reason that I make money from them. But it’s a headache for me to edit or update them for several business needs. I am a total dumb when it comes to web designing skills like HTML coding and manipulating them. WYSIWYG editors are my life savers in those situations.If you don’t yet know what WYSIWYG stands for (Please don’t bang your head on computer screen to punish yourself!!), it is the abbreviation of What You See Is What You Get. Used in the computing world, the term actually describes a system through which you will be able to see the final outcome during the editing phase. With these sophisticated tools you do not need to edit the source codes. Instead just edit the actual page elements directly and you can

To edit HTML- and CSS-code you only need a simple plaintext-editor — the rest depends on your skills and your creativity. However, to make your life a little bit easier, you can use some more comfortable source-code editors with advanced editing features. These features can effectively support you during coding, debugging and testing. Powerful modern editors provide developers with syntax

The WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) concept is present in almost every content creation or update action performed over the web. The WYSIWYG principle implies that in the final form, the published version, the content will have a similar structure and appearance with the one obtained during the editing process. Modern web applications and sites have implemented WYSIWYG editors as

So I’ve written all the words for my nifty e-book, but as I’ve looked over it more and more, I realized that I don’t like the way it flows. It feels like a series of blog posts instead of a perfectly cohesive ebook. I think I need help bringing it all together. So, if any of you editor-types out there would like to get lots of blog love and laugh in superiority at my grammar challenged self, and help me finalize this ebook, please contact me. UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who contacted me. Hopefully, the folks who are working on my ebook now can smack it into something good.

From: How I fell in love with Wikipedia It was like a giant community leaf-raking project in which everyone was called a groundsman. Some brought very fancy professional metal rakes, or even back-mounted leaf-blowing systems, and some were just kids thrashing away with the sides of their feet or stuffing handfuls in the pockets of their sweatshirts, but all the leaves they brought to the pile were appreciated. And the pile grew and everyone jumped up and down in it, having a wonderful time. And it grew some more, and it became the biggest leaf pile anyone had ever seen, a world wonder. And then self-promoted leaf-pile guards appeared, doubters and deprecators who would look askance at your proffered handful and shake their heads, saying that your leaves were too crumpled or too

EditorsAlexandra Palace, LondonWednesday 5th March 2008Another band runs the Alexandra Palace gauntlet. Editors, having done rather well of late, take the leap from big indie band to proper, your-mum-has-probably-heard-of-them, arena showstoppers. Well, not quite - but they give it a decent go.Support bands shouldn’t be allowed at this venue. They should just give everyone a few free drinks, or lower the price and have the gig start later. The venue is just so vast, so open, that anything but the most advanced sound equipment is utterly futile. Sons and Daughters may well be a very exciting young band with a captivating front-woman in Adele Bethel, but they sound flat and tinny against the backdrop of uninterested punters and cloudy vibrations. They look like kids in a school play, compl

I found the New York Times editorials relating to the Annapolis summit disappointing. I read Thomas Friedman twice to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Even after my double-check I’m still left with the impression that he didn’t say much. It can be summed as “Yay, Annapolis” along with an obligatory pessimism, in case the process ends like all other Israeli-Palestinian accords. From someone who’s considered one of the world’s leading columnists, I’d expect something more insightful.The editorial titled “Starting from Annapolis” was even more problematic. Its expectation that an Israeli-Palestinian agreement “could also diminish the appeal of Islamic extremists and begin to repair America’s battered reputation in the Muslim world” is a complete misreading of reality. If anyone on the editorial board of the NYT truly thinks that Israel / Palestine is the main reason for Islamic-American confrontation (and more specifically Iranian-American conflict), then world-

Gli Editors non sono fra i miei gruppi preferiti e non lo saranno mai: mi sanno troppo di band costruita a tavolino. Detto questo ci tenevo lo stesso ad andare al concerto ieri sera. In primo luogo perchè suonavano al Piper e quindi per una volta potevo godermi un concerto che non fosse al Circolo (che non sopporto più) e poi perchè comunque ero sicura che i quattro di Birmingham avrebbero fatto una bella prova. Piccolo problema logistico: non avevo il biglietto, perchè sono sempre indecisa fino all'ultimo e non avevo proprio preso in considerazione la possibilità che IO potessi rimanere senza... e invece!! Per fortuna dopo aver mobilitato mezza Roma sono riuscita in extremis a trovarne uno tramite Alessio, la mente di Indieforbunnies, che ringrazio ancora. Quando arrivo davanti al Piper quindi sono pronta per godermi un bel concerto! Entro e sta suonando il secondo gruppo spalla: una noia mortale!! Non voglio nemmeno sapere come si chiamano e am

Hi all !After I've written the Linux Sucks article, I started to think how can I still run any of the "good" (read Windows based) editors on Linux. And to tell you the truth, I've tried to run each and every one of those I found on different lists under WINE but to no avail.But no more. I've successfully installed and can run in Zoundry Blog Editor, from which I post this entry.Here's an install procedure (I use Gentoo, so I presume anyone who doesn't can adapt this to his/her own needs):Install IES4Linux on my machine (it installs WINE as well, so I don't have to).Run an Internet Explorer and try to browse. If you do so, then go over to Zoundry and download the Zoundry Blog Writer.In the same Internet Explorer window, go to File->Open and open the file you've downloaded.Install should start and install the application.Install mfc42.dll - get it from any Windows XP installation or here (legality of this action is beyond this post. Check with your lawer just in case). Copy it

When Panasonic introduced its first digital SLR, the Lumix DMC-L1, a lot of people had high hopes, which were subsequently dashed. Now, Panasonic has put out the 10-megapixel Lumix DMC-L10. If the L1 was Panasonic dipping its toes in the SLR pool, then the L10 is Panasonic diving into the deep end. Will the DMC-L10 sink or swim? Let's find out.Panasonic is marketing the L10 as an entry-level SLR, and its design works well for that market. It's on the small side, has an articulated LCD that can flip out to the left of the camera and swivel 270 degrees, live-view shooting, and its control buttons are laid out a lot like a superzoom or compact camera. The vast majority of buttons are on the right-hand side of the camera and reachable quickly and easily by thumb or forefinger. Like more and more SLRs lately, the grip is short, so your pinky dangles while shooting. However, it does have a nice shape, with a cutaway for your middle finger and a contoured area on the top of the camera back

In public relations it’s all about relationship building and knowing which editors and bloggers to pitch your ideas to. Many editors will not take emails and phone calls from individuals due to the fact they are not paying attention to the stories they are writing. One horror story that I found was on Longtail.com where Chris Anderson, editor of Wired Magazine, posted the email addresses of people who are blacklisted from pitching him EVER AGAIN! It’s a great debate between the lazy approach to PR, which is spaming every writer you can find, and sending the right pitches to the right editors. This could be the difference between having your story picked up and never speaking to a reporter again. I leave you with this; do your due diligence, research the right editor, read several stories he or she has written in the past. There are several ways of doing this like Google News, Lexus Nexis, etc…. Journalists are so busy with thousands of pitches, you want to make sure you

Statt beinhart existenzieller Dunkelheit, Morbidität und Verlust (”You are fading”) nun urplötzlich alles rosarot? Weit gefehlt, dieser Paradigmenwechsel findet bei den Editors nicht statt. Denkt Ihr auch, dass Editors bloss so eine verkappte Coverband von “Interpol covert Joy Division covert Echo and the Bunnymen” sind? Dann hört mal, wie die sich auf “Smoking outside the hospital doors” nun verdammt nah an die jubilierenden Hymnen à la Snow Patrol ranrobben. Das sollte für einige Verwirrung bei den loyalen Fans der Birminghamer sorgen. Wer schreit da Ausverkauf? Ein zwiespältiges Vergnügen, wie ich finde, doch die Editors dürfen das. Und ich denke gar nicht darüber nach, ob das überhaupt zu denen passt. Es ist ganz einfach nur ein Stück Abwechslung auf ihrer betont grauen CD “An end has a start”. Denn wie sagen sie so schön: “We try to touch on death in a positive way”

The holster design has been a staple of camera bags for a long time. Lowepro's Cirrus line is a new take on the holster design. If you're not familiar with the holster-type camera bag, it's based on a triangular shape, tapering toward the bottom, and holds an SLR or SLR-type camera, typically with a small zoom lens. There's not too much you can do to update this idea, but you have to hand it to Lowepro, since they do a great job of modifying simple things and giving them a classy contemporary look.One great example of this is the Cirrus TLZ 25's handle, which carves a cute curve over the top of the bag, while its gray color provides a counterpoint to the bag's otherwise mostly black color scheme. The bag has another splash of gray in the band that sits below the bag's top flap. Part of the gray band forms the top of the small front pouch, which has a tab of Velcro behind the Lowepro logo to keep it closed. This pouch doesn't seem very large, but it's bigger than it seems and c

Here is a handy little generator for Final Cut Pro (or Final Cut Express as the site lists several plug-ins written for FCE) that has the ability to add a counter over footage. It does a number of other things but the real usefulness to me is its ability to either count either up or down, to or from zero, for the length you specify via the generator’s length in the timeline. You can display hours, minutes, seconds and/or frames as well as adding custom text. Font sizes, colors and the background can be changed to make it very customizable. It’s not a timecode reader or generator (you already get those in FCP) but can be useful in its own way. The only downside is that it’s not a real-time generator so it does have to be rendered. Rewrite that thing to make it real-time and it would be darn near perfect. A number of other plug-ins are available as well. Oh, and they’re free!

The good: Exceptionally streamlined, comfortable shooting design; broad, functional feature set, including sensor-shift image stabilizer; excellent photo quality; generally fast performance.The bad: A few design quirks; proprietary hot shoe.The bottom line: A top-of-the-line amateur digital SLR camera, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 will delight Konica Minolta diehards and makes a great choice if you don't already have a stake in other lens systems. Reviewed by: Lori GruninI know Sony's older, entry-level Alpha DSLR-A100 has its share of fans, but I never got a chance to shoot with it, which made the 12-megapixel Alpha DSLR-A700 my introduction to Sony's take on dSLRs. And I soon found that the unprepossessing, very un-Sony-like design camouflages a sophisticated dSLR that's enjoyable to shoot and can hold its own quite well against models from veteran camera manufacturers such as Canon and Nikon. True, much of the DNA for Sony's dSLRs comes from the company's acquisition of deceased

How much responsibility does an editor have when it comes to the condition of the work they are choosing to publish?Serious question. What do you all out there think?For some context: I am currently reading a novel that has a lot of mistakes that not only should never have been written, but should have been picked up by the editor, the writer, and the copywriter. There were POV violations all over the place, flat characters, character development issues and contradictions, and even a sentence in the book where a huge line of zeros randomly appears in the middle of a word. The last I might be willing to pass to printing error, but that's pushing it.So, how much of that should have been addressed by the editor before the book went to the press? Do you personally expect more from an editor?(Don't click the read more, there isn't any more after this)

The Editors at The Times continue on about Iraq and contribute with fuel to the fire during the "War of the Analogies."According to them:"Blaming the prime minister of Iraq, rather than the president of the United States, for the spectacular failure of American policy, is cynical politics, pure and simple. It is neither fair nor helpful in figuring out how to end America’s biggest foreign policy fiasco since Vietnam."Their closing two cents:"If Mr. Bush, whose decision to inject Vietnam into the debate over Iraq was bizarre, took the time to study the real lessons of Vietnam, he would not be so eager to lead America still deeper into the 21st century quagmire he has created in Iraq. Following his path will not rectify the mistakes of Vietnam, it will simply repeat them."Bizarre" they call it..."inject Vietnam" have they no shame? Do they just forget what is necessary to pump their trash out?I'm pretty sure the board hasn't been too pleased with Maliki in the recent past...have the

An End Has A Start offre sia tristezza che voglia di reagire a questa situazione, ma sempre in modo ragionato, mai pesante ed impulsivo. Qui gli echi di U2 sono ben ancorati al loro suono, e le chitarre potrebbero realmente sembrare quelle di The Edge e compagnia bella, ma loro la tristezza non sanno molto cosa è!Partiamo subito alla grandissima, Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors è stupenda, forse una fra le più belle canzoni dell'anno e apre il disco nella maniera migliore. La title-track è stupenda, la chitarra è tagliente e ricorda gli U2 dei primi anni -quelli di I Will Follow per intenderci- ma resta la voce del cantante a dare la chiara impronta Editors. Le riflessive The Weight Of The World e When Anger Shows sono ballate molto valide, i riferimenti agli U2 sono lampanti in Bones e Racing Rats e qui si torna a pestare sull'acceleratore. Questo un pò il sunto del disco.by Davide Magagnoli

Will someone please, please, please flush the toilet Paper???According to the emotion and angst filled, non logic using editorial board members at The NY Times:"Prolonging the war for another two years will not bring victory. It will mean more lives lost, more damage to America’s international standing and fewer resources to fight the real fight against terrorists."This group whines like Mike Gravel at a Democrat Debate, why are they so invested in the never changing need to get out? Who are these people? Who are the members?Because we are still in Iraq (big surprise!) it is nothing but an utter failure. Because we are in Iraq, "Al Qaeda’s top leadership (has) regrouped and (is) resurgent in its old strongholds along the Pakistani-Afghan frontier." Is the logic(?) that we could then invade Pakistan or send more military to Afghanistan? What kind of a "quagmire" would be created by sending more soldiers to Afghanistan; do we really want to get involved in something like that?

From the opinion makers; members of the NY Times Editorial board (italics mine): “Presidents have the power to grant clemency and pardons. But in this case, Mr. Bush did not sound like a leader making tough decisions about justice. He sounded like a man worried about what a former loyalist might say when actually staring into a prison cell.” The NY Times Editors always “hear” things differently; why is that? Oftentimes, too often, I find myself visiting the pages of opinion in the Times; they irk me. Perhaps it’s their smarmy, condescending tone. Maybe it’s their utter dismissal of so many pieces of a puzzle that allows them to come to their conclusions that bothers me. One has to realize that the opinion page of any paper is just that, opinion. I don’t know why, but for some inexplicable reason I expect more from what used to be a respected paper. So much of what people read or view these days is colored with words that conjure up images the writer wa

Read Write Web asks the question “Does Digg need Editors” and comes up with some pretty convincing reasons why they desperately need editors to handle bad or poorly worded, spell checked submissions. They use of their own articles as the showcase of a poorly dugg article. It doesn’t need to be this way. One relatively painless enhancement digg could make to the site is to allow a badly submitted post to be edited - perhaps by a power digg user, who is given privileges to ‘fix’ bad submissions. Normal digg users can then continue to submit posts (because don’t get me wrong, I am very happy for any digg user to submit articles of ours), but at least there is some quality control over the submissions. There would only need to be a flag that the digg story has been edited, and a way for users to check the original submission wording - so that everything is transparent.

The time for blind acceptance of their opinions is past. And the time for naïve belief in their neutrality is gone.” The NY Times editorial board continues apace with its “radical” ideas and misconstruing of reality for who knows what cause. This morning they’re babbling on, yet again about a 5-4 decision by the Supreme Court; a Supreme Court with a “radical new majority” that “has grown more conservative by the year.” The 5-4 ruling struck “down voluntary programs to integrate schools in Seattle and Louisville, Ky.” Which the board believes and screams that this is a complete and utter reversal of the now

June 15th is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day TORONTO, June 13 /CNW/ - The Ontario Provincial Police - SeniorsAssistance Team joins hundreds of other community-based organizations, across Ontario, in recognizing June 15th,2007 as the second annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Statistics Canada indicates that 10% of seniors over the age of 65 sufferfrom one or more forms of elder abuse. Research has also shown that there is agreat reluctance by older adults to report these crimes to police or serviceproviders to stop the abuse from continuing. Throughout Ontario and the rest of the world, abuse and neglect of olderpersons is largely under-recognized or treated as an unspoken problem.Unfortunately, no community or country in the world is immune from thiscostly, public health and human rights crisis. Research indicates that publiceducation campaigns like World Elder Abuse Awareness Day are vital toinforming citizens of the cost of abuse in our society. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day i

LIVE AT SOUTH-by-SOUTHWESTTHE EDITORSMarch 15, 2006 - Austin, Texas01 - Lights02 - Bullets03 - All Sparks04 - Munich05 - Fingers In The FactoriesOn June 25th, "An End Has A Start" - the Editors new album will be released in Europe (no US release date announced yet!), and the world will know what kind of prognosticator I am. You see, My review of their "Back Room" album pretty much went like this - Wow, these guys are great! But, it's too bad I have heard recent live material - because it seems like they have already surpassed the songs and talent recorded on this album. (True.) It was an honest review, if not mixed in its praise. You see, the Editors are better than their last album (which was very good to be fair and worth owning.) But as someone who practically breathes music like a fish would in water (-no gills yet,) I had been given the promise of something better prior to hearing it. There was a promise made. That day comes now. The Editors have a legacy to grow into. The new a

Aquí tenemos el segundo disco de Editors. Después de sorprender a muchos con su primer disco The Back Room, llega An End Has a Start.Nuevo disco que recuerda mucho al anterior, lo que consideramos bastante bueno. Otra cosa a tener en cuenta, es que yo considero al vocalista Tom Smith, como una de las mejores voces del panorama indie actual, y en este disco al igual que en el anterior esta sublime.Aquí dejo un video de una actuación acústica bastante peculiar, tocando All Sparks y Bullets, temas de su anterior álbum.Enlace de descarga: Editors - An End has a startTracklist:1 Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors.2 An End Has a Start3 The Weight Of The World4 Bones5 When Anger Shows6 The Racing Rats7 Push You Head Towards The Air8 Escape The Nest9 Spiders10 Well Worn HandPara más información sobre el grupo: Myspace de EditorsLost Kore

Review by MacKenzie Wilson @ allmusic.com Before issuing their debut, The Back Room, in August 2005, Editors was immediately compared to the dark, brooding sounds of Interpol as well as the post-punk brashness of Echo & the Bunnymen. Singles such as "Blood" and "Bullets" quickly put Editors in the elite crowd of those to watch that year. The band -- Tom Smith (vocals/guitar), Chris

An end has a start, it sounds interesting when you read on the art work. So this is Coldplay's faster version with a lot more Ian McCulloch feeling on it? Or The Killers with a deep voice? I've listened a leaked version of "An End Has A Start"' and i think this is dull indie rock. What i dislike most is every song recalls each other and you can hear sound of catchy, cooly, moody music for [[ This is a content summary only.

“We can’t imagine any other app topping the natural painting prowess that Painter has fine-tuned.” Corel Corporation (NASDAQ:CREL; TSX:CRE) today announced that Corel Painter X has been recognized with another Editors’ Choice Award from Mac|Life magazine (www.maclife.com). Mac|Life also gives the software its “Great” rating and states, “…Painter is the longtime king of the digital painting kingdom.” “Corel is honored that Mac|Life magazine has once again recognized Corel Painter X as the pre-eminent natural painting software,” says Rick Champagne, Product Manager for Corel Painter. “Corel Painter X is the only professional application that was built from the ground up as a digital art studio. Leveraging the power of the new Intel Macs, Corel Painter X offers new features including the RealBristle painting system, improved Photo-Painting Palettes, and the Divine Proportion tool that enable artists and photographers

Okay, so Interpol were here first, ever since 1998 in fact and entered our lives with their fantastic debut Turn On The Bright Lightsin 2002. They’re probably the most British-sounding American band there is and after their rise to fame, numerous similar bands popped all over the place, including Editors. I wrote before about these four guys from Birmingham, England and they’re definitely among my favorites in this genre. Surprisingly, both bands are releasing new albums in the upcoming months (Editors‘ An End Has A Start on June 25, Interpol’s Our Love To Admire on July 10) and have already released their first singles for our listening pleasure. Well, what is there to say? Both bands don’t really sound any different than they did on their previous releases but for me, Editors win this round. I’ll wait for the album releases for a full evaluation though. Stream: Interpol - The Heinrich Maneuver Editors - Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors D

In a recent article in an Arabic (translated here on Memri) a Qatari newspaper editor focused on a major world injustice. No, not street children starving in India, or the raping and murdering of his Muslim brothers and sisters in Darfur, but the harsh treatment of Qatari newspaper editors who are being deprived of their rightful dues and swimming pools. Another newspaper editor explains why.It’s very unfair that Al Jazeera employs non-Qataris and gives them more money than me. Why should they have a luxurious apartment, swimming pools and money when they are not Qatari? We have Qatarisation kicking out talented people in every other industry to make room for Qataris, why not in Al Jazeera too?I mean look at it. What have these fancy foreign journalists got? Okay, so they are talented, determined, well-educated people who fought their way to the top in a competitive industry and have experience of working in world-renowned news networks. They are the best in the world at what they do

Washington Editors: Reluctant to Publish 'D.C. Madam' Client List - Editor & PublisherExcerpt:"As the so-called "D.C. Madam" case unfolds in the nation's capital, with alleged prostitution ringleader Jeane Palfrey claiming a list of thousands of prominent clients, Washington-area editors say they are following the story, but remain reluctant to print such a list, were it available, without serious scrutiny."You would have to evaluate it to the extent humanly possible and verify it," said Michael Tackett, Washington bureau chief for the Chicago Tribune. "If one of the names is wrong and you print it, how do you unring that bell for that person?" He said reprinting a list from another news outlet is not an excuse for getting it wrong. "You've got to verify it yourself," he said."http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003578776Alex

You’ve just finished a major project and you’re counting on the $1,000 payment headed your way. You know that your client is going to love the job you’ve done, and you can’t wait to deposit that check. Weeks go by, however, and nothing arrives in the mail. What can you do when clients don’t pay?Read full story

The Photoshop Controversy I read two comic strips: Dilbert by Scott Adams and What The Duck by Aaron Johnson (I’m an engineer who likes photography, so these are all I need).  Most people have heard of Dilbert, but What The Duck is at bit more of a niche comic and fewer people have probably seen it.  What a shame.  The comic is about a photographer who happens to be a duck — actually, all the photographers seem to be ducks.  Aaron tackles many of the issues faced by photographers, and it’s stinkin’ funny — but probably just to photographers.  Today’s strip pokes at one of the more heated topics among photographers and photo editors. This is funny on many levels, but it also surfaces a few Photoshop topics of choice.  It seems like everybody knows how to use Photoshop on some level, and it’s interesting to hear inexperienced users talk it down like it’s no big deal.  Let me just say that I’m no Photoshop expert, but I know e

They got right on this one, changing it to "parity" before I could click over there from the feed. Although "parody" would also work as far as I am concerned. There just isn't enough of that in the game either. Last month it was "stuner" instead of "stunner", but since this article didn't have pictures of sexy volleyball players, I didn't get over there fast enough to catch them in the act.

Fashion magazines are arguably the single most influential source of fashion information. They show their readers the new trends, hot designers and desirable items — and they encourage readers to buy them. The editor of a fashion magazine has a great deal of influence over the tone and content of their publication… but they rarely wear most of the trends themselves. Today, I’ll show you how little the style of three very powerful fashion editors has barely changed over the years, despite massive changes in fashion trends. Anna Wintour doesn’t follow fashion Anna Wintour is known as one of the most powerful women in fashion. US Vogue is probably the single most influential fashion magazine in the world, and Wintour is said to rule over every facet of it. In the last 17 years, countless fashion trends have passed through Vogue’s pages, but see how little Anna Wintour’s style has changed in that time: (Images, L-R: WordofGod.com and Style.com) Her tra

Lots of chatter on several weblogs over this press release by Eddie Berganza, in which he drops the ball in his appeal for a female audience for Supergirl. I'll pinpoint a few of his nosedives: When Joe Kelly took over fully with issue #9, we discussed the many paths we could take Kara in. Jeph Loeb with the incomparable Mike Turner had already created the buzz, and Greg Rucka kept your attention during his all too short run. What could Joe do? After a very serious conference call that involved Joe, our amazing penciller Ian Churchill, and my then Assistant Editor Jeanine Schaefer (she was pivotal in giving us a woman's point of view on the character—like, can Supergirl gain some weight, please?), it was decided to have Kara just try to be a real teenager. No standard hero on patrol bit here. We were gonna make Kara a typical teenager, which meant she wouldn't listen to the grownups (in her case a guy named Kal) and wouldn't appreciate being given chores (killing Kal for her dad,

You love us, you really love us! The votes are in and Adventures in the Stiletto Jungle was just named Editors' Choice Best in Shopping 2006 in the Glam Network Awards, given out by online fashion and beauty media giant Glam.com. Woo hoo! I'd like to thank the Academy... Just kidding. I do owe a huge thanks to all of you readers for keeping me inspired each and every day. And a special thanks to Briana Pinaud of BrianaDesign for turning my incoherent rambling about a "girly chic" shopping jungle into the signature Stiletto Jungle logo, which still makes me smile every time I see it. Going from crazy idea to being named Best in Shopping by Glam in seven short months is amazing. I feel like "the little blog that could." What a great way to start the year! The most flattering part about winning a Glam Network Award? Seeing "Stiletto Jungle" listed side-by-side with the big boys. In an alphabetical list of the winners, Stiletto Jungle is wedged nicely between Shake Your Beauty and Styl

I have to say this is a bit interesting, partly because it’s coming from Amazon and partly because I own eight of the ten games on the list. I have to say that while I agree that all these titles are good, I’m not sure that I’d name them all among the best. I was particularly surprised with Metroid Prime: Hunters. Yeah, it’s a fun game and shows off some of the technical power of the DS but it isn’t as good a game as -say- Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins. What do you think? Here’s a rundown of their top 10. Final Fantasy XII PS2 Dead Rising XBox360 Metroid Prime: Hunters DS Guitar Hero II PlayStation 2 Brain Age DS Gears of War XBox360 Okami PlayStation 2 The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Nintendo Wii New Super Mario Bros.

To set the ball rolling, here are some basic differences between the US and UK print media markets.1) The UK newspaper and magazine market and audience is substantially smaller than in the US. Understandable if we consider a population of approx. 260 million in the States and a meager 60 million or so in the UK.2) The US has a large subscription base. Most UK sales are from newsagents and shops / news stands and stores.3) The UK utilizes freelance input to a greater degree than in the States. 4) US papers are more regionalized to cater for larger population, whereas UK national papers are the staple for breaking news and exclusives around Britain. (That’s not to say that regional do not break new stories they regularly do – but the money sits with the nationals).5) Cheque-or-checkbook journalism is alive and kicking, and would you believe still growing in the UK.So, how does that relate to freelancers pitching to these differing markets? Take for example New York; the focus with Ne

In an editorial almost certainly written by Colbert King, The Washington Post comes down on my side regarding Superintendent Janey's call for a moratorium on new charter schools:The call by D.C. School Superintendent Clifford B. Janey for a moratorium on new charter schools in the District is one part reasonable and one part self-serving. Taking the latter first, it's clear that charter schools have developed into a threat to the traditional school system since they were authorized by Congress 10 years ago. As Post reporter Lori Montgomery has reported, more than 17,500 students enrolled last year in charter schools. Meanwhile, enrollment in the traditional public school system has taken a nose dive, from about 80,000 students to about 58,000. The movement represents the action of parents starved for quality education who are voting on the traditional school system with their feet. If Mr. Janey's schools are unable to compete successfully with charters, whose fault is that? The prop

After taking action against Microsoft and Google, Belgium's French-speaking newspapers are seeking redress from another Internet search engine, Yahoo, their lawyer has said. "We sent a letter of formal notice to Yahoo yesterday" so that it will stop publishing articles from Belgian newspapers on its search engine without prior authorisation, said Bernard Magrez, lawyer for the editors group Copiepresse said on Thursday. Copiepresse accuses Yahoo of violating copyright laws by giving Internet users access to archived newspaper articles which the papers themselves would now charge people to read. While its makes no threats in its letter, Copiepresse could take legal action if it is not satisfied with Yahoo's response. A year ago, Copiepresse took Google News to court in Belgium to stop it reproducing content from French-language and German-language newspapers in Belgium on its Belgian website. On September 5, a lower court ordered the California-based company to desist, and said it wou
