   The main benefit to Wordpress is its built-in content editing system that's mostly accessible to end users. So you can build a site for someone and then show them how to use the nice admin interface and page editor, and let them manage the

   I want to learn/do more with Ruby/Rails, Django, CSS. Would like to dabble with R as a way of getting familiar with "data science" tools. Would love to learn Haskell and Clojure but don't really have any specific projects in mind for them,

   I don't have much experience at this level (CEO), but I've always had the impression that this is partly why CEOs join the boards of other companies/organizations (including non-profits), to find camaraderie with peers, give back some of th

   Just sent this message via Kickstarter to the Wattvision people: This is pretty awesome. I know it's unrelated, but something that would be REALLY awesome is something like this that worked for water usage. I manage several properties and a

    Also, I might have a different person as the contact person for each listing/property; the way it's set up now, it doesn't let you set name on a per-listing basis, it automatically pulls it from the linked profile.

    I added a listing. However I noticed it strongly encouraged the user to link to her/his Facebook to "increase trust" for potential tenants. I don't know if you've ever been a landlord before, but I absolutely do NOT want my tenants to look

    I can't agree with this post strongly enough. It's an amazing small insular community of bureaucracy. I've tried to make a few minor edits and had my edits undone and squashed in a pretty unfriendly way, and encountered the same things that

    I hate LinkedIn with a passion, always have. It just seems like an old, kludgy online dating site (like Match). I never use it unless I have to, and I still can't figure out how to turn off their damned weekly emails - they have no easy u

    I agree. I recently wanted to comment on something on codinghorror.com and had to use the OpenId/Facebook login. It wanted to be able to use my FB credentials to login - fine. But then it also wanted access to my friends and activities and

    Unfortunately, since the messages sent by spammers that "came into the light" (good spammers?) and by those who did not are so similar, even legitimate unsubscribe links are effectively too risky. Just like with the failure micropayments (s

    It's confusing to have the search check boxes below the registration section like it is now; it makes it seem that the check boxes are part of the profile one is filling out. I spent time going through the entire list checking boxes off, on
