15 Seconds of DSC Fame
I listen to the Daily Source Code podcast with Adam Curry. In DSC episode #529, Adam was troubleshooting his Internet and WiFi connections. As he had access to the telco closet in his building, Adam kept describing a wiring harness that he did not know the name of, which is a 66 block.
I thought it would be no big deal to call-in and leave a message, especially as that is what we promote on the Stockcarzone podcast, listener feedback. Boy was I wrong. Leaving feedback via voicemail is easier said than done. I definitely have a new appreciation for all the Stockcarzone listeners, and anyone else who puts themselves out there and leaves feedback. Not only did I feel rigid when I called-in, I ended up sounding rigid.
I was so nervous. So much so, that Adam had a little fun with my call. So to highlight my 15 seconds of DSC fame, at the bottom of this post you can listen to the clip from DSC episode #530.
Using WordPress for Nonprofit Websites
Websites no longer have to become static, stale and outdated, or having to rely on web designers/developers to update content. With publishing platforms such as WordPress, many organizations could move to updating their own sites and creating their own content.
I realized I had to update my website, especially with all the web 2.0 hype. My previous site was static HTML, no CSS, very plain-Jane, and very outdated. As a small-business owner, I fit into the categories of limited budget and resources, like free and easy to use.
After searching customer and content management systems (CMS) via google, low and behold, WP showed up as a possible solution. I say that because some may consider WP as only a blogging application, but soon, I found many articles related to other small businesses and nonprofit organizations whom were searching for the same solution.
