Hello all, its been a long time between posts and for that i apologise. The reasons, well i could give manybut it could be summed up simply as “blogger burnout” - to bring the daily articles meant reading many more blogs to seperate the good from the rest. And that took time. More time than in the end i was able to give. I have a full time job afterall and i don’t want to spend that time again blogging.
Burnout is a funny thing, for me it arrived suddenly and i thought leve it a few days, i will get back soon enough. But of course months have now passed and i haven’t got back. I am not sure that i ever will but i am not closing the door, just setting it ajar. I declare this blog … in hiatus.
I’m blogging now because a fellow blogger asked for some help. John of Duct Tape Marketing has written a book and is looking for some exposure and publicity. Sounds fair and i am happy to give it a mention. Check it out . Give it a look, i find his blog an interesting read and expect his book to be the same.
As for me, well - its a hiatus. You might see me back, just have to wait and see what happens!.

From The Blog Studio, The WordPress Helper Sheet:
A few months back I had the idea to simplify the creation of Wordpress templates by creating a simple text document that contains my most used tags. Its basically just a text document, but its useful, and has increased the speed at which I create templates by 100%.

Blogger has redesigned their login boxes:
With that, we say good-bye to the combined Blogger / Google Accounts sign-in box on our homepage. Functional? Quite (though not everyone believes me). Well-designed? Not a chance. We’ve listened to the problems with our combined login box, and we have a solution.
The new login choice on the homepage should relieve any Google Accounts–related login trouble you may have. And if you’re like me and still haven’t been able to switch to the beta, you’ll be happy to find that your password manager will stop trying to fill in your Google Account login information on Blogger
