DISQUS- Commenting platform for your Blog
Posted on 16. Oct, 2009 by zevmo.
Like most people, I think the default comments section in WordPress sucks. WordPress, as a platform, is probably one of the best. I have used others, but WP is now grown into a very powerful tool-set, with so many plug-in choices, auto-install and updates. The biggest weakness for most sites is the comments section. You [...]

Posted on 12. Oct, 2009 by zevmo.
I have had the TAG Heuer for close to 18 years. Wow! It has held up pretty well, despite the pricey battery replacements, and the issues with my date stopping at 29, each month. So, I decided, my birthday gift will be a new watch. Now, I can’t just get any watch, I have to get [...]

Prius Enjoyment
Posted on 03. Sep, 2009 by zevmo.
When we go down to Florida to see my mother and grandmother, twice a year, we have to rent a vehicle to drive around for the week+. We always rent from Hertz (#1 Gold Club) because you can put a card on file and just walk to your car. No one else seems to do [...]
