I thought I would compile a list of things worth doing when you have a creative block. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but a few pointers in the right direction.
Making your weblog mobile device friendly is becoming an important issue as the proliferation mobile devices accessing the internet is growing as an exponential rate. Therefore folk running websites and (in this case) weblogs need to ensure that their content can be viewed on the move. Therefore I am writing this entry to advise others how I am attempting to bridge the portable divide.
I have just read an interesting article by Andrew Dubber: http://newmusicstrategies.com/2008/03/23/michael-arrington-is-not-an-idiot/ which I felt compelled to comment against and have continued thinking about. To this end I wanted to continue the conversation here an expand on my thoughts a little.
In this ever expanding world of quality RSS feeds I am finding it increasingly more difficult to consume them in a friendly (to me) way. To date I have relied upon a customised google homepage (www.google.com/ig) and this seems to meet my needs pretty well, however the once you have added a bunch you end up with something like this:
This is all well and good, however you can probably see that the content goes off the page and is not organised in ayway apart from by feed.
The real benefit of using this system is that being as this is my hompage on a number of computers it does not need another application open (like Outlook) to gather the information.
So if you use another web based tool, which allows you to consume feeds, organise them how you see fit and have decent web searching capabilities please let me know – because I have a feeling the grass may be greener.
So far I have funded klunk.org solely from my own pocket. However I have now decided to include some in line sponsors / affiliates to help pay for the hosting costs and other little expenses necessary to keep things going. I am hoping to make these links as transparent as possible and the these will be only to goods or services which I use myself and therefore can recommend.
If you have an opinion on this, then please let me know if I get the balance wrong (or indeed right).
