Discalaimer: I have no idea how a "Blogger" type blog works, so I cannot compare Blogger with WordPress. My gut feeling tells me that WP wins out, though.I decided to start a blog at Wordpress.com and thought I might write some of my early impressions up. Let me say right off the bat all my impressions have been nothing but good so far, so this might not sound so much like a review as a promotion. One of the first things I noticed was that WPCom allows as many blogs as you like all from the same user name/passwd account. Great if you want to have several different blogs that cover subjects that do not mesh well with each other: Say if you are a politician who likes gaming casinos, you could keep the gaming out of the politics. Or if you like NASCAR racing and Formula One, obviously it's better if you don't mix the two on the same site, it could get confusing and the two topics would end up detracting from one another. Another thing worth mentioning at the start, my new blog has only been up for a bit less than 24 hours, yet it is already listed by google, in fact looking at the google cache, google found my blog very ealy on in my blog's career. Such is the power of WPCom I guess. There is a strapline that runs across the top of your blog if you are logged in with the following clickable options: * My Account o Edit Profile o Contact Support o WordPress.com o Log Out * My Dashboard * New Post * “Frequently Asked Questions” * Blog Info o Add to Blogroll o Report as spam o Report as mature * Go to a random blog... That last option is an interesting one. There is an arrow on the extreme right that, if clicked, takes you to the next randomly selected WPCom blog. If you are committed to reading diverse blogs, this might be an alternative to blogging heaven. When I was clicking maniacally to view all the different themes in action, I did notice a number of blogs in French and some in Spanish. Which leads me to say that in the languages option in the admins area there over a hundred different language options, whether they all work I have no idea. Clicking on the “Frequently Asked Questions” brings up a FAQ that seems very good. The topics covered are: Akismet (anti-spam program), Adverts, Appearance & Themes, Posting, Pictures and Video, Widgets, Plugins, Administration, Feeds, Feedback, Errors, Deleted/Suspended, Technical and Misc. There are more than 100 answers to the common questions. Then of course there is the very good documentation and forum on Wordpress.org as well, a good bit of which applies to WPCom too. Best bit about a WPCom blog?There are 41 different themes to choose from, and changing the appearance of your new blog is quick and easy. If you like a bit of variety in your life you could have a different look to your blog for every day in the month and still have themes to spare. DrawbacksNone that I can think of.

Batman: The Dark Knight Movie Review.
Heath Ledger is by far the best Joker ever, even better than Jack Nich (0) Just saw "The Dark Knight" twice this past weekend. All I have to say is, Jack Nicholson's Joker
can't even compare to the Joker Heath Ledger did. He took Joker to a whole new bizzare and crazy
new level. I sincerely hope he gets an award for his role as the Joker. He's truly the best
Joker there ever was. If you haven't seen it yet, I suggest you go out and see the movie once or
twice. You'll see what I mean. Heath Ledger was absolutely hilarious as the Joker. He certainly
can talk like the Joker and he kind of scared me a few times in the movie. Th....
Wordpress Categories Disappear
(4) This problem has happened to both my wordpress blogs hosted with trap17. I made some posts and
assign them to different categories but a few days later, the categories disappear and all my posts
are automatically placed in the Uncategorized category instead. I believe this is not a unique
problem because I've seen some info about this on the wordpress support website. However, there
doesn't seem to be a single solution to it. I've tried repairing my database but it
doesn't help. I've got the latest version of wordpress. Anybody got any suggestions? Th....
My Thoughts On Few Browsers
A quick review on browsers I've tried (post your own too) (2) Ok, I currently use Firefox 3 because I think it has the most features, security and it is fast!
I thought I should start a topic (and I don't know if there is one like it) in which I talk, and
you guys too, about the browsers that are out there for any OS. So, I'm going to start off by
saying a few things about internet browsers that I have tried in the past. Internet Explorer
(Windows)- This is build into Windows when you first turn on your computer. I think it starts up
fast, but has a few flaws- which I will reach in a minute. The things that I like are....

Alex's Review Of Wall-e
(0) Alright so I'm on a roll with this whole movie reviewing, so while I'm up and thinking of
the movies I saw this weekend I figured I'd review WALL-E as well. WALL-E was amazing... It
was definitely the best Pixar movie I have ever seen (yes even better than Toy Story). I'd have
to say its the best movie I've seen since 2005. Not only did the shots on. earth look amazingly
realistic, but the storyline was intriguing and kept me interested throughout the entire film. It
was also hilarious. Perhaps it was the fact that I went to see the movie with s....
Alex's Review Of Hancock
(1) I don't review movies often, however I noticed that there was no review for Hancock yet, so here
I go... Hancock part one (1 hr. long, written by Vincent Ngo) was an amazing comedy. Perhaps it
just seemed amazing because my expectations were so low from people saying this movie was going to
be terrible, but I really enjoyed it and was glad I went to see it. Hancock part two ( 1 / 2 hr.
written by Vince Gilligan) was an alright action/thriller. Enough said... Alright. so I'm just
kidding about the writers, I really have no idea if Vincent Ngo wrote the firs....

analytical purposes. Have a play with it and do not hesitate to let me know what you think:

My Own Experience

where I lost the bad weight and gained some quality weight... A year ago I was 75 kg, I had some
muscles on my body but too much fats as well. I joined the gym at the end of the street and started
going there regularly. I started my weight lifting training with little weights because I do not
want to build up muscles fast but in an incorrect way. So during the first 2 to 3 months, I've
dropped to 65 kg losing much of the fats on my body. I could clearly notice the differen....

Ispring Pro - Review
A nice add-on for Microsoft Powerpoint (1) This is a nice add-on for Microsoft Powerpoint that generates Flash (.swf) files from Powerpoint
presentations. I find that this can be a very useful tool for educational purposes and let me make
my Powerpoints more creative than just using the viewer. I could incorporate my Powerpoints into a
blog or a webpage and be able to view it on any web browser with Flash. The only problem is that
it's interface is inside of Powerpoint. This means I must use Powerpoint in order to generate
the Flash files. I would much rather use OpenOffice.org Impress, but I can still make t....
How To Write And Deliver A Good Short Speech
(1) The key to a good speech is to make it brief and straight to the point. If you do not take the time
to craft a tight, focused presentation for a short talk, you will lose your audience and possibly,
your reputation. A common misconception is that one does not need to practise a five-minute talk
because it is just a short speech, but this is the wrong mentality. Here are some guidelines on how
to write a good, short speech: 1. The writing for short speeches has to be better than for long
ones. You have less time to get your critical message across. 2. You must make sure....

Anyone Have Experience With Autocockers? (paintball)
(3) I own an '04 Prostock Autococker, and it's quite fun. However, I have a couple of
questions: 1.) The Prostock features a Delrin bolt, which supposedly does not need any lubricants
of any kind. Kind of makes me iffy on that little factoid, as all moving parts should be lubed up.
The catch to this is that supposedly if you do lube it up, the bolt swells and the marker will
consequently have a hard time cycling. Anyone know what to do here? 2.) I just played with this gun
recently, and in one game the marker completely locked up on me. Trying to fire it would res....
Three Neat Avatar-based Sites

this week: Zantarni, Menewsha and Elyzeria. Elyzeria This is a cool site. It's not
avatar-based, actually. You make three characters on your account and they can have a certain class
(mage, healer, or warrior). And they can be either a human, elf or dwarf. You have to feed them and
basically improve their stats. You can go on quests. There's a whole lot more to it. I'll ....

Cute Knight Review
Girly-styled game that's really for all RPG fans (3) When most Western people think of consol RPGs, they generally think quests, fighting monsters, and
set story lines. This makes games that explore the ROLE playing elements of RPGs all the more
refreshing when they come along. Cute Knight is a game by Hanako Games , who's mission
statement includes " girl games with unicorns instead of prom dresses ". Despite the distinctly
feminine feel of most of their games, however, their depth and innovation can appeal to everyone.
Cute Knight is their most recent, and best, installment. Where to find: A trial version of Cu....
