Ask Matt Mullenweg

March 27th, 2007 :: by Vivien

Matt Mullenweg, the genius behind WordPress, has kindly agreed for an interview with Inspiration Bit. I’ve already prepared 12 questions, and decided to give my readers a chance to ask Matt what would you like to know about him.

Please, post your questions here by March 29 and I’ll pick 3-4 best ones and include in my interview. I will even mention your name with a link to your site. Consider it being an early prize from Inspiration Bit :-)

Thanks. Look forward to getting your questions.

Update: unfortunately despite his initial agreement Matt Mullenweg never sent me his answers to my interview questions.

First Contest with Inspiration Bit

March 27th, 2007 :: by Vivien

Last week I’ve announced that I’ll be participating in the Reader Appreciation Week and give away prizes to my loyal readers.

I hope that this decision won’t turn you away from my blog and cause you to lose any interest in it. After all, some things are priceless, and that’s what I’ll be giving away here - priceless prizes :-)

Today I’m announcing the First contest…

Captivating Photography Bits

March 24th, 2007 :: by Vivien

One of my clients is thinking of re-designing her photography website, so I started looking for other photography sites on the internet as part of my competitive analysis.

Surprisingly, I didn’t find too many original websites featuring photographer’s portfolio. Many sites were based on a couple of similar Content Management System, so they had the same navigation and main features. But I did come across some really fascinating “photofolios”. I was using three different resources for my research:

Boycotting Computers

March 22nd, 2007 :: by Vivien

Obviously, computers became very significant in our lives. We rely on computers for many things that only a decade ago we never suspected we’ll be using for: socializing, reading, studying, researching, playing games, shopping, making reservations, planning trips, house hunting and much more. They’re convenient, helpful, although addictive and often time consuming. So how many of you would be willing to Shut down your computers on Friday night and not turn them on until Sunday?

Do You Appreciate Your Readers?

March 20th, 2007 :: by Vivien
