Raise your voice by blogging
November 24, 2008 by evl
Blogging has changed the way the modern news works, no longer do we have to hope that we are no being lied to by the corporate news media, they are in it for the money after all. Today anyone can be a journalist , although blogs are not always taken that serious it still gives us the oppurtunity to speak out about things close to us, about issues we could in no other way share and solve. Blogging keeps the news open minded and also enables you to see what other people think about certain topics as the news usually just gives facts according to them, bloggers can give their opinion and lets you see how other people feel. Blogging enables all the sides of a news story to show their side of the story, it gives those that can not speak or defend themselves the means of making themselves heard. Blogging lets you see in the mind of those that you might not otherwise speak to and comments on a blog lets you know that what you are thinking is sain or not.The only plugins that work with Wordpress 2.7 so farWond

Seems there are not that many plugins that support 2.7 yet. Upgrading might have to wait for more people than i expected. There are thousands of plugins people rely upon, including me, i also have some plugins i really like.So I really hope those will be compatible with Wordpress 2.7 A - D *Power hungry Congress of the People

The Congress of the people as we know them so far has said they think about a merger. But guess what, they dont want to join another party, no, they want the other party to shut down and join them. Which ever party that might be will just be shooting themselves in the foot as they will once again give power to the old ANC, not that the new one is any better.It's true, the end of print media is here
November 21, 2008 by evl
People can say what they want but its true that the end of print media is at hand. One of the oldest computer magazines is stopping their print edition. So people might say that because they are a computer magazine they would benefit more by going online but I dont think so. Personally i think this is just the beginning of other places to do the same. The company I am talking about is PC magazine which have been running since 1982. They will publish the last edition in January 2009. Look out for that one it might be a collectors item in a few years.
It's not Aljazeera that's anti America, its American's thats anti truth
October 29, 2008 by evl
Sure people rant about Aljazeera, that they are anti American (so they say) but the thing is that Americans are really anti truth, they dont have clue what goes on in the outside world. Recently Aljazeera made a report about the election in Ohio, that is the truth, the people said what they said but the main stream media chooses to ignore it. So why do they choose to not watch both sides of the story? Do you think I am wrong?68 Twitter tools to satisfy your twitter addiction
