  • Review: NASCAR Racing’s Biggest Fan Ron Ripple

    Some time ago I reviewed a blog about F1 racing called F1-ToGo, which up to this point has been the only racing web site I reviewed. That changes this week as I review another racing blog.

    Unlike the last racing review, this one is focused around NASCAR, and from what you will see it is just as well done as the F1 blog.

  • Entrecard – the Ultimate Blog Widget

    I have written about Entrecard in the past, and have benefited from using the widget on my blog. I mentioned that for new blogs Entrecard can help generate traffic and subscribers.

    This past week Entrecard announced a partnership with SezWho. It was a much anticipated announcement among the Entrecard faithful, but the question is what does this mean to those that use Entrecard?

  • Create Static Pages in Blogger – Part 2

    Note:
    Blogger now supports static pages. To learn how to create pages in Blogger, follow the instructions outlined in How to Create Pages in Blogger.

    I recently wrote a post titled How to Create Static Pages in Blogger where I discussed one method of using posts to mimic static pages. One question that was asked involved removing the static pages from the post archives in Blogger. From what I have seen, you can’t prevent a post from being added to the archives, which would make all static posts appear.

    Using my programming background, I decided to find a way to prevent the static pages from appearing in the archives. When experimenting with different methods, I finally came up with a method that works, as well as allows commenting on the static pages. This post explains how to create this type of static page.

  • Review: Fussy Baby

    As a parent of two young children, I know how frustrating it can be when your child is constantly crying and doesn’t seem to want to stop. Raising a child under such circumstances is very difficult, and at times can cause you to lose your nerves.

    This week I review a web site, not a blog, that provides information on getting you and your baby through the difficult days. Those with infants and young children may find the site very interesting.

  • How To Show Elements When Viewing Posts

    When I was thinking about writing this post I originally intended on discussing how to add a Digg button to each post in a Blogger blog. After some thought I decided to expand on that idea and explain how to show items when a visitor displays a post.

    On Technically Easy I have a few items that are only displayed when a visitor views a post. These items include the Digg button, the recent posts in the right sidebar, and the social network links in the comments bar at the end of each post. In this post I will show you how easy it is to accomplish this.

  • Free Software Anyone?

    I recently reviewed Michael Aulia’s Blog, which I have visited a few times in the past. When I verified that the link to his blog worked properly I was immediately drawn to a post about free software. This post mentioned how you can get a free license of either Microsoft Vista Ultimate, Photoshop CS3, or VMWare Workstation 6.

    Now I know many of you are sceptical about such an offer, as I am, however, after reading the post and then visiting the web site with the offer, I decided to see what will happen if I completed the conditions. This post is one part of those conditions.

  • Review: Michael Aulia’s Blog

    Those that know me know I like technology and that I try to keep up with the latest gadgets and toys. I visit many technology blogs and web sites to keep up to date. Although I won’t own many of the new toys, I still like to see what is out there.

    This week’s review is about technology, although not so much on gadgets and toys, but technology in general. I have read this blog in the past and it is usually one of the most popular in the “Technology” category on Entrecard.

  • Check Web Browser Compatibility for Your Website

    When you are designing a web site it is important to always test the design in many browsers. The reason for this is that different browsers may display your web site in different ways.

    It has always been a difficult task to test your web site design in many browsers and many versions of the different browsers. To help with this there is a web site that can do this all for you, and provide screenshots of your web site as it is viewed in the browsers.
