Absolutely fantastic addition to an already awesome WordPress!

Wordpress released a free Mobile Application which allows you to easily manage one, or multiple, websites. All from your phone!

My favorite feature is the Quick Photo option which allows you to snap a picture and automatically put it into a new Post ready for you to add content.

Redirection is a WordPress plugin which gives the user a very handy interface for easily creating redirection rules and keeping track of 404 errors – Page not Found – without requiring advanced knowledge.

It is very important to prevent 404 Errors from occurring on your website.

The reason it’s important is because if a Search Engine has found a page, image or other item on your website and the location changes and the Search Engine isn’t redirected to a new location then it simply deletes that entry from it’s records.

If a person has bookmarked a URL on your website, or if someone created a link to a location on your site, and you change the location, then that link breaks and people trying to find your site no longer can.

404 Errors happen when you:

• Delete a page/post/image from your website
• Update your website and move content from one URL structure to another
  For Example:
  old website = http://domain.com/pages/about.html
  new website = http://domain.com/About

Columbia College launched it’s new brand today, and with it, the new website look.

As a proud member of Columbia College’s Web Team, I greatly enjoyed being able to participate in this new look and feel to Columbia College!

The email asked me the same thing it always does: “What have you done with today?”

For the first time in 770 days, I can say, “All I wanted to.”

I just read yet another article about riding out the economic storm, and hoping for consumer spending to rise in the near future, etc…

The reasons we are currently in a recession are vast and varied, but one common trait is unanimously prevalent:

American’s Spend Beyond Their Means and Don’t Save!

• Credit card debt is out of control
• People purchase houses they can’t afford
• The cheapest new car you can purchase is $10,000 or higher
  (that’s more than my grandparents paid for their house)
• The entitlement mentality is rampant!

Japan Can’t Get their people to Spend Money

Japan is having the opposite problem we are. Japanese people have a habit of saving far more money than they spend, thus their economy is sub-par according the article I was reading.

Spending below ones means is far better than spending beyond it!

I Pray the Economy NEVER goes back to the “Old Normal”

Unemployment must drop, people need jobs and money to feed and clothe themselves.

But people do not need the level of decadence America has basked in since the 1950′s.

The Old is gone, thank goodness, we need to start thinking like our 1920′s Ancestors who went through the Great Depression and knew what it was like to do without.

If people and businesses alike get used to this New Normal and America does see an economic boom again, we should just keep operating under the New Normal and see any up-tick as a temporary fortune. Take that time to pad the savings account.

Accept the New Normal and Thrive

If we get used to living much sparser than we have in the past, then we will be closer to an acceptable and sustainable way of life. STUFF cannot compensate for the peace of mind that comes with living debt free or with easily sustainable payments.

Stop hoping for the economy to rebound. Settle in and enjoy the simpler things.

This is why it’s possible to be so angry at the one you love one minute, and fawning over them the next.
