How-To: Blogging: Useful Programs for Blogging

wplogo

Not sure if this would be actually considered a ‘How-To’ but it could be part of one anyway! I do a lot a blogging and writing and stuff for websites but I find I only really use just a few programs for all of it and I thought I’d share them with you as maybe you could find them useful as I do. Many of the programs I use are free, but some aren’t of course. You could easily go a grab the free ones, and I would highly recommend you do, these are programs I’ve used for years and just find them indispensible. The pay programs I use are excellent as well, but you don’t have to use them of course, but you might might want to. Most of these programs are general usage so it’s not just WordPress. So read on for the programs that I use most often that you might have not known existed.

I hate my webhost… I need to change.. I’ve had nothing but problem over on DragonSteelMods.com.. nothing at all, the site is slow and I know it’s not my site as it’s very minimal, not a lot of plugins or anything but the server load is very high. It’s on a shared sever so it must be the other sites there doing this… grrrrr… whatever, read on for the latest tech news..

"Today for review I have the Sony SBH 20 wireless Bluetooth headset which is what it sounds like, it’s Bluetooth making it wireless and it has a headset. The SBH 20 unit itself is just a small square with audio controls on it along with a microphone and 3.5mm audio jack, but Sony did include a decent sounding pair of headphones to go with it. The SBH 20 is Bluetooth yes, but it also features NFC to make pairing very easy if your phone or other device is NFC enabled. I have the HTC One and it is NFC enabled but the SBH 20 is the first device I’ve gotten with NFC and it does work great and it does make life that much easier really. The SBH 20 isn’t perfect, there are some small issues with it, but overall it’s great little device that actually has multiple uses. So read on to learn more…. "

My Chair Keeps Falling Down!!!!!!

chair

So that’s my chair up there, it’s comfortable and I really like the fact that the arms fold up and back and out of the way, I can use one, both or none. I picked it up at Office Depot a year ago, well it was a year in March. It’s called the Realspace Calusa Mesh Mid-Back Chair (link HERE).

A couple months ago it started falling down, the chair was just a year old really so how can it be broke already?

It seems every year I have to buy a new desk chair, and I don’t get it? This chair I have now is selling at Office Depot for $189.99 but when I got it it was priced at like around $250 . I didn’t pay that though thankfully, I got it on a big sale they were having for a little less than $100, it was this weekend furniture sale or whatever  it was, I just know it was a good deal, or so I thought…

Why do I have to buy a new chair every year? They should last longer than that, especially for the price, you’d think anyway.

I got that chair to replace another one I had gotten only a year before for $150.00, I was thinking that if I got one more expensive then it would last, but apparently I was wrong. I had the same problem with the other chair, it kept falling down after less than a year of owning it.

I’m not heavy, I’m only about 175lbs and I’m 6 foot tall, so it’s not my weight surely. I don’t know, I sure don’t want to buy yet another chair. It seems every year I have to buy a new chair because the pneumatic cylinder fails and the chair falls down.

Years ago I got one for free used and it lasted a good three years before it broke, and it wasn’t the cylinder either, a metal section broke. That one I got for free was one that I had owned the longest and it was just a basic, cheap, task chair.

I don’t know.. it just annoys me really… nothing is made good anymore, it’s all cheap and doesn’t last…
