This might not be such a interesting topic but I used to think you can just go in and work on your blog with any computer or operating system. That was until my computer totally crashed and now I can only run my computer from a Ubuntu 7.04 live cd.

Its not wrong to promote your site using social bookmarking utilities and websites, as long as you do not pay people to promote it more than you can do on your own. Be honest, use one account and if people like what you have stumbled they will give it [...]
Imagine stumbleupon had a search engine. You could find great things that other people liked and skip all the spam. Well you can use stumbleupon as a search engine. But it works almost like Google’s famous feeling lucky button.
Just activate the search function in tools-toolbar options-configuration and then click on show search / tag box
That’s [...]
I use stumbleupon everyday but its starting to suck now. For some reason these really crap sites get through. I mean sites that say “welcome to wordpress, this is your first post”. Now that would not be such a big problem if it did not happen every 5 minutes. But these really crap sites are [...]

I hear and read a lot about people who for the fact that Stumbleupon toolbar is to big and bulky they dont want to use it. But there is a sollution to this. In fact I used to think that everything takes up way to much of my browsing space in Firefox. Here is how [...]
