Which Blogging Platform Should I Use? Joomla is primarily a CMS, which, as a side option, may also double as a blog. Wordpress is the other way around. Its primarily a blogging platform, and additionally, with a few hackles, may double up as a CMS. I'm with you on absolutely HATING WordPress. Many sites are misinforming users and stating that WordPress is a good CMS - WRONG! Yes, there are countless plugins and things to make WP into a fully fledged CMS, but it's a blogging platform. Yes, there is a ton of help to solve most issues with those plugins and customizing WP. I'd tried Joomla, Drupal, and well over a dozen others. I have been using ExpressionEngine for several years now. For blogging, I DO encourage people to try WP. For building a complex site where any data can be content and a chronologically styled blog style is not desired, then EE is what I use and recommend to my clients.

Empower Guatemalan mothers One in six indigenous girls in Guatemala complete the 6th grade. This is because the majority of indigenous Guatemalans live below the extreme poverty line, and parents can’t afford the school fees and costs of uniforms and books. Kids are also needed to help work and support the family. Traditional development efforts approach the effects, not the causes, of this kind of cyclical poverty. Mercado Global empowers indigenous women in Guatemala to break out of poverty and become rural entrepreneurs, hand-crafting products for companies like Levi’s out of their own homes and growing their community businesses. And the success has been staggering: so far, over 2,000 indigenous children have gained the opportunity to go to school because of this award-winning model. You can help: 1.
When's the Best Time to Blog & Share? Anyone who spends their day on the Internet inevitably wonders this question. Should I start publishing later in the day, to hit the after-work traffic? Should I publish earlier in the morning, to catch commuters while they're on the way to work? Or is everything completely random, driven by the off-chance that a post will end up on StumbleUpon and enjoy a slightly longer tail? Social sharing widget Shareaholic looked at its 2011 data, breaking it down to the top 100 days and times for sharing. See the results in Eastern Standard Time. Shareaholic looked at two metrics: social shares and traffic. Thursday beats every other day. As most blogs know, the best time of day for social shares is between 8am and 12pm ET.

река Воньга » Blog Archive » КАРЕЛИЯ: ТАЙНА «ГОЛУБИНОЙ КНИГИ» «Север – это особое место для встречи иных миров» Нострадамус «Голубиная книга» практически неизвестна современному поколению. Хотя, в отдаленные от наших дней эпохи, она раскрывала перед своими слушателями тайное Знание о происхождении мира, природного и социального, о его сущности, о появлении в нем добра и зла, другими словами, содержала в себе «все мудрости повселенныя». Уникальность «Голубиной книги» заключается в том, что она единственная во всей русской литературе дает внебиблейскую историю возникновения и целостную картину мира таким, каким видели его наши далекие предки.

Перемелется – мука будет Перемелется – мука будет 12.01.2012 Мельницы дождались ветра перемен – Россия переживает бум реставрации мукомольных сооружений. Фото: ПРЕДОСТАВЛЕНО АВТОРОМ В последние годы в нескольких областях страны, преимущественно северных, отреставрировано более десятка мельниц. В ожидании «жареного петуха» В этом году Вологодская область, сто лет назад считавшаяся одним из самых богатых на мельницы регионов России (только вблизи Вологды крыльями вращали более 5 тысяч мельниц), едва не потеряла последнюю подлинную ветреницу («ветреница», «ветряк» – название ветряной мельницы. – Прим. ред.). Заброшенная мельница в деревне Чирши, что в часе езды от Казани / Фото: ПРЕДОСТАВЛЕНО АВТОРОМ – Местные жители позвонили и сообщили, что мельница обрушилась, и, если мы не поторопимся, следующей весной найдем на ее месте груду гнилых бревен. Мельница была построена в 1919 году. Главный реставратор вологодского музея «Семенково» Степан Анкудинов: «Мельница – шедевр технической мысли» / Фото: ПРЕДОСТАВЛЕНО АВТОРОМ
