Well it was not that impossible. As a matter of fact, I had been waiting for the opportunity when I could install Joomla on my own site. I ran into a glitch in the beginning unsure of how to upload the Joomla files onto the hosting sites server. I was able to access the cPanel [...]

I’ve managed thus far to get my “mojo” back. A semblance of what I use to be and of what I know I can do given the resources.
Founding and hosting the 1st Frankfurt Girl Geek Dinner was a challenge I wanted to take and succeed in – publicly. This was important to me. This was [...]

One more week or rather, it is now 6 days till the 1st Frankfurt Girl Geek Dinner. I’m excited, but mainly because I’m curious to see if I can actually pull off all the stuff that I have planned in my head.  With limited income or actually NO budget for this (because we don’t have [...]

It’s well into 2008 almost approaching 2009 and to be honest, I can’t see to keep up with myself. Perhaps that’s because my SELF seems to be all over the place but no where near where it really should be. And where is that you may ask? You tell me.
Okay, so I haven’t really been [...]

Some social networking sites have evolved from simply being all about ’social’ to being more of a critical news alert tool. Whether you agree or not that Twitter is a micro-blogging tool, that point seems rather mundane at this time.
Jack Dorsey, considered as the man behind Twitters concept back in March of 2006 had no [...]

Why not?!
People are always saying they have no time to be in virtual worlds. They say that they cannot imagine themselves sitting in front of the computer, chatting with other avatars. “It’s silly and a waste of time.”
Yet, people have no problem sitting in front of their computer screens on the internet checking email, surfing [...]

There are tons of things going on in my head and as usual they consist of projects that I need to work on. Currently, I’ve been re-thinking whether or nor the content management system (Joomla) is the right one for the df mag. I’ve looked at a few more and of course, I like different components [...]

It’s funny how everything seems to come together slowly. When I started thinking about the df mag 5 years ago I already had a few people in mind – to help me with the backend of it. Jason Ramsay-Brown, Tom Weisner, Chris Laspa and Zunaid Khan.
We all worked at WHERE Magazine’s International together back in [...]

I was browsing thru the Joomla site, investigating on the different types of plug-ins and what nots. I have an idea of what the site would need in order to stay competitive. It’s really not about competition so I shouldn’t have have used that word.
I want quality content.
Content that transforms ones thinking, or at least [...]

The Master Website Admin. (MWA) recently downloaded Joomla (One of many content management systems) to be used for the trial magazine site. I asked for full control of the site. This not only means the design, layout and colour but the backend also.
He gave me all the info. needed for full admin. access. I love [...]

Of course there are a million and one choices to be made when starting up an online magazine. Many of which seep into my 5th dimension (the astral), where I do most of the planning and decision making – the challenge is, executing them in the 3rd.
While layouts, colour schemes, graphics and categories run amuck in [...]
