But they suck at creating and supporting a community. Boo!. Nearly a half year ago they opened Movabletype.org again. Since then the only thing you can get there is confused. First they have the beta version of the CMS under the download button on the first page. Not the MTOS (open source) version but the retail version that is in beta! It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out this is just wrong. Secondly... read more | Opinion Review5 Good Reasons to Drop Google AdsenseDropping Google Adsense is easier said than done. First I have to acknowledge why I use Adsense in the first place.

I have and just of late I find it confusing and frustrating. When this website first came out I was with everyone else in giving it credit for filling a need. Now I am definately sure that they are doing a dis-service. When you are looking for a CMS you have an idea about what you want in the CMS. It maybe something you have heard about or seen on a website. So you take these ideas to cmsmatrix and try to compare the available web publishing systems using... read more | Review ServicesFirefox will beat IE: extensions are the Magic BulletToday I became very frustrated while trying to get out some emails. I was using Mozilla Thunderbird and at the end of a reply to an email I wanted to add a signature. I could not find any way of doing this in Thunderbird and so I googled the question "Thuderbird insert signature". I was immediately greeted with a link to addons.mozilla.org.
