Resources for WordPress Themes
One of the selling points for individual bloggers to go with WordPress over any other blog platform is WordPress’s community. The community that contributes to WordPress in many different ways: some help out in forums, others write plugins, and many design themes (also called blog designs). In this post I will talk about WordPress themes. The most obvious and popular place to go is WordPress site itself, where you can find a little over 1,100 themes. All of the themes listed on WordPress site are free, and come with a screen shot and a live preview.

Blogging with a cup of home made espresso
I love coffee! No, I’m not an addict :) I mostly drink for the experience. I’m writing this post sitting at a local Barnes and Noble, sipping Starbucks Cappuccino. If I didn’t have a cup of coffee I would feel like something is missing. When I wake up in the morning first thing I do is make myself a cup of coffee. I like to experiment. Let me explain. At first I would go to a local coffee shop to get a cup on my way to the office. I then realized how expensive it can get and decided to buy a nice espresso machine for my house. Half a year later I got tired of all the lattes and wanted something different again. Instant coffee. After a day or two I gave it to my mother as a present ;)

And your favorite magazine is…?
I have only one. It’s called Entrepreneur. I had some frequent miles left that were not useful for anything other than signing up for some magazines, so I decided to go ahead and sign up for a bunch of them. Of that bunch there were Entrepreneur, Wired, Fast Company, Inc, and Forbes. To my surprise, or maybe confirmation, the only magazine that I could read from cover to cover was Entrepreneur. Not only that, but I couldn’t wait till next month to receive the next issue.

Artful Blogging is possibly one of the first, and only magazines that is purely about blogs and for bloggers. As the name may suggest the magazine showcases arts and crafts-type blogs. It is found in all major book stores like Barnes and Noble, and it’s published quarterly. The magazine is somewhat pricey at $15, but it’s full of blog reviews, in fact all 140 pages of it, there are also some tips on how to start your own blog, as well as blogging etiquette – what you should, and shouldn’t do in the blogosphere.

The world’s best email and your own domain name
What’s the best webmail in the world? If you answered Gmail, I’m with you. I’ve been using the Internet since 1995 and I’ve tried all sorts of email services ranging from desktop applications like Outlook, The Bat, Thunderbird, and many web services such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Mail.com and many others. In my personal and professional opinion Gmail is hands down the absolute best email service in the world. I’m sure all of you have tried it and know how fast and reliable it is, how simple and nice it looks, the features we can’t live without, and the enormous disk space storage it comes with and so much more.
