I’ve created many sites with blogging capabilities, some of them […]

A picture [of my cat] is worth a thousand words. I’ve been waiting for WordPress.com to update the administration panel so that I can have galleries. That is the main feature that I’ve been waiting for. Now it’s here, I can finally upload pictures of my cat (and my wife 🙂 ) This will […]
Today, a business associate asked me “I know about blogging, and it seems like a waste of time. Why is blogging worth the time?” I was able to reply with some very convincing arguments — and in a way, I reminded myself about the value of blogging. Blogging establishes you as an expert in your […]

So I've finally given in…
