Spending time learning Open Source Applications and finding Pretty Pictures
I have been spending the past few days upgrading my knowledge base. My personal knowledge base that is. I learned yesterday how to install WordPress and Drupal on my site. Now I am learning how to make them work. OS(open source) is not very hard if you follow the directions and very easy and nice once it’s up and running. Drupal has a great video for installation, you can see it at: lullabot
My web host, Fatcow.com is very nice to their clientele and has loaded some OS software on their server for their client base. You can use a few of them free and some of them for a whopping $6.95 a year. Also, Fatcow recently lowered their hosting fees to $8.95 a month down from $9.95 a month. Sweet. The other thing I love about Fatcow is that an actual human being answers the phone for tech support each and every time I call.
Over the past week, I have become enamored with the “grunge” artwork of a Russian artist named Bulent Ince, I have included one of my faves from his work here. One of the freelance designers I work with told me about www.istockphoto.com where you can purchase amazing photos and artwork for next to nothing. Have a look when you have a chance.
