Hello I am just wondering what the statis is on having more than on group blog to one account. As of now the limit is one. I read that eventually there will be more for paying customers so I am wondering if this is on its way to becoming a reality as of yet. I would love to make another sub-account and manage it all under my main account. If it helps any, I bought the winCustomize broswer.

I just learned of this and feel that I should share it so here it goes. Technically, at least in the USA, if you make an original item or object it is yours. So, for example, if I make a skin or a painting it is technically copyrighted under my name and I own it. But how do you prove it? That is when the US Post office comes in. If you want to save something for a possible court day with the offending party, all you have to do is put it in a self addressed stamped envelope. (make su...

I would greatly appreciate it if I could do that. Right now I can make only one and that's it. I would like to have 2 more with the ability to just post a story on that blog and not on both the main blog and the secondary one. I read somewhere that it would come when the set up of paid accounts... When will that happen? Also when will we be able to change the look of the site for our personal blogs?

Artist Of The Week Chad Ross aka Chadamus is on of the best artists for desktop customization (skinning) on the net. I have been following Mr. Ross for a number of skins. One that caught my eye was Blueprint. Maybe I liked it because it felt so much like Architecture or because it was just good... maybe it was because it was blue. I seem to like blue. (apparently so does the skin community... Mostly blue skins) I can tell you right now the one that pulled me in was Work While B...

And it seems that the forums are connected to your blog posts! So all you have to do is go to the forums to see all the interesting articles or just post something. I haven't posted anything on my blog in a while;, I wonder if there is an option to show the blog post in here? (as oppossed to a manadory option where all blogs posted end up here)

Here are the links I have been working to post. If you have the Google Toolbar you can search for words by highlighting them to look for specific topics I have collected around the net over the course of almost a year. In RAW Format means its just a list of links in no order and with no description Most of the links are on current/past events, science, technology, art, business, political/social, and education. Basically things I am interested in. Links with dates on them will ...

I have been thoroughly looking for work for the last year and a half. I save up some money for school doing odd end jobs and today just when I can start to get that very much needed IT degree (I am switching, allbeit at a bad time in the economy, from Architecture to technology) in my background to move foward. Now I have to wait again and plus it would seem that the program is being fazed out of my school. So now I have to make some hard choices. Pay more for classes I can't offord or just...

Toon XP is orange, with reds and blues as highlights here and there... Its not mostly gray, or blue. It does not have a nice slim interface... Yet it is one of the best suites out there. Could it be the fact that we all love cartoons or have seen them? It could be the bright colors that are entrenched in most societies minds as funny, friendly and even bring back memories. It could be that its just fun to look at. What ever it is (Think over all GUI design it is a great piece of ...

Well I am not sure actually. I made it thinking I would use it for science and tech since I am in a tech school. I would just post what I am doing in class and stuff. Now I am not sure exactly. I have a blog already at Modblog.com: http://joetheblow.modblog.com And basically I use that for saying pretty much everything I want including posting my homeworks and tech stories. But here I don't want to really post personal stuff I guess. I think I will keep it to mostly stuff I plan on develo...

There are so many out there. Reading an artical on what Microsoft plans on doing to its messenger service on Beta News I read about so many IM clients that I never heard of but seem to be popular (well some of them) Here is the story: http://www.betanews.com/article.php3?sid=1061456252 This comment should actually be about how Microsoft went from, "Hey AOL has the total market share, they should open up so others can get in!" to , "Hey we want to close our servers because it is ...
