I use WordPress extensively (this site is a WordPress blog). WordPress is more than a blogging tool – full websites, even complex content management sites can be operated using WordPress. WordPress is super quick to install, easy to set up links and pages, and offers a variety of themes that are designed well or can be customized for your own personal benefit. I have taught workshops on setting up websites using WordPress and I also set up many client sites as well. When I need help there is one person that is top-of-mind; that is Lynette Chandler. She has put up a number of

You can whine about the government or your friends or your job or your family, but nothing will happen except that you’ll waste time. Worse… far worse… is that whining is a reverse placebo. When you get good at whining, you start noticing evidence that makes your whining more true. So you amplify that and immerse yourself in it, thus creating more evidence, more stuff worth complaining about. If you spent the same time prattling on about how optimistic you are, you’d have
