>Today is a great time to be a writer. There are virtually no middlemen between you putting together a sentence and millions being able to read it. I'm wondering if any journalist has thought about the idea of a subscription model.

This might be too broad of a question but could you give some pointers on where to start with automation? Possibly, what tools to look into, what major tasks would be ideal to automate, or what a typical workflow built on automation might l

I've always bought cheap generic office chairs but recently picked up an Herman Miller Aeron. I am honestly surprised at how much of a difference it makes. I use the Aeron at home and have a generic $150 office chair at work and I am r

In short, they build sites to provide people with information/services. A lot of these orgs have very basic websites and they don't use the websites as tools to further their goals. My product helps them by basically doing everyth

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. You make a good point about offering "unlimited" resources. This early in the game, I have nothing to lose and it would be a selling point. As far as customization goes, that basica

Thanks for the input and suggestions. The problem with a free trial is that the websites are built on WordPress. No matter what the WordPress community wants to think about the CMS, it's not the most user friendly piece of software for

"my nephew is good with computers - he can do that!" Haha um yes. Thanks for the thoughts. Your suggestion about partnering up with some companies that already have a foot in the door is a great idea. I'll definitely be thin

Someone else in the Texas panhandle knows about HN? Crazy. This place is stuck in 2001 technologically speaking. Anyway, Amarillo is pretty much exclusively .net but I'm sure you know that. I have seen one place that uses rails and tha

It's probably similar to Office 365 and the email alias option. With Office 365 you can set up a number of email aliases that can all be directed to one inbox. The downside is that you can't send from those alias. You will always

For those who are thinking about picking up a Wii U, Nintendo is selling refurbished consoles for $200. For all the reports I have read, they are basically brand new systems (in appearance). https://store.nintendo.com/ng3&#x

I honestly don't understand this design direction. I know it's nice to have a change but from the few screens I have seen on the Verge it looks like something that came from one of those "I redesigned OS X" blog posts.

As a front-end dev I am actually a big fan of Windows 8. I used OS X for a couple of years and finally realized I was placing too much emphasis on flashy GUIs and I had a different program for every little task. Around the time Windows 8 ca

I did not say I do not have a problem with the marketing agreement Microsoft has set up. Be that as it may, I also understand this type of marketing is not solely taken advantage of by Microsoft. I don't anyone is arguing it's ok.

I did read the article. I am not saying I agree with the practice or I see no negative aspects to the practice. I'm just surprised at the recent uproar over this when Microsoft is by no means the first company to do this. Sure their ag

I know the gaming world is making a big mess about this but as others have mentioned, it's nothing other than marketing. Doing promotions like this for Machinima partners/affiliates is nothing new. I also don't see how it dif

It wasn't necessarily bad for me. I would say more unpleasant than bad. I'm not at the point where I spend too much time on HN but I usually take a quick look when I am on a break.
