I had no idea that writing blog posts for future release was so easy with WordPress!
All you have to do is edit the “timestamp” for the post when you write it to be the day in the future when you want it published, and it automatically appears for you on that day – so simple!
This is ideal for Free as in Beer, where I write quick posts on no cost software. Sometimes I come across more than one cool app in a day, but using this method I can line them all up for publication.
Hurrah! WordPress now has a decent plugin directory!
Am playing around with the theme of this blog at the moment – sorry for any irritation caused!
A couple of weeks ago, I noted the new Lib Dem’s manifesto website, which pleased me as it ran on WordPress. Well, thanks to Guido I have come across two more WP powered sites maintained by the Liberal Democrats.

For far too long, it’s been acceptable to turn a blind eye to corruption when it comes to foreign contracts. The Liberal Democrats believe that corruption is a crime and should be stopped. Allegations of serious corruption must be fully investigated.
The second is Home Office Watch:
Welcome to the Home Office Watch blog, a single repository of all the shambolic errors and mistakes made by the British Home Office compiled from Parliamentary Questions, news reports, and tip-offs by the Liberal Democrat Home Affairs team.
Interesting to see that a political party has cottoned onto the fact that you don’t need expensive bespoke solutions to get a social media site up and running. WordPress is free and fast.
Welcome to my wordpress.com blog!
I’ve basically decided to cut right down on my web expenditure. Having the vebrig.gs domain was fun, but the renewal was going to cost £35, and the bill for my hosting is due next month too. So, I’ve cut right down by:
I’m also planning on moving some other things around to save time and money. For example, is there any need for the separate LGNewMedia and LGSearch domains?
This sort of rationing is sad, as it means a lot of links and things won’t work any more. But building it all up again will be fun, and after all, the best things in life are supposed to be free…
