While looking at various Lenses, I noticed many Lensmasters were having the same problems I have getting the custom borders they make match up with their Lens photos.
This is most noticeable when there aren't enough words in an Intro or Text module to fill the same amount of vertical space the image uses. An added problem is that they often look good in the Workshop, but not after they are published.
Many people love to jazz up their Lenses to make them stand out, but haven't figure... Read Full Story
It is easy to go overboard when following people on Twitter. Each message is limited to 140 characters, but after following a few hundred people, you may notice that it gets harder to keep track of what everyone else is sharing.
I know some people believe that it is pretty much impossible to actually follow what a large number of people are doing on Twitter, but you actually can. By using a tool such as Seesmic Desktop, you really can get a lot more out of Twitter and miss less than you woul... Read Full Story
It is a lot of work setting up large userlists for Seesmic Desktop. If something goes wrong with your computer, do you have a way to restore those lists?
Do you trust your backup software?
What about a second, or third computer?
Want to transfer your userlists to a different machine?
It's actually not that hard, especially if you have a bit of experience working with computer files, and programming.
First, let me give a shout out to Doug McCaughan's Reality Me Blog because his post Ubunt... Read Full Story
I originally began buying natural hair products simply because I was already buying other natural personal care and household cleaning products. As the years went by, I began learning more about what is in shampoo and other hair care products, and the more I knew, the more I was glad I had switched, or had I?
I also discovered that some natural hair care products still contain ingredients that I do not want in my hair. Now I exclusively use hair care products from EO that do not contain anyt... Read Full Story
Some Lensmasters don't even have "Contact Me" enabled on their Lensmaster Page, but for most of us that do, that's enough.
Some want more.
If you want to encourage email feedback from your readers on one, or all of your Lenses without having them go to your profile to find the link, it's actually very easy. Read Full Story
Eating Primal Foods means eating simplified foods, lean meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, roots, and nuts that are prepared with less processing or cooking than conventional, modern foods. It also tends to reduce or exclude grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar, and processed oils.
Based on the diets of our pre-agriculture ancesters, the practice is often refered to as the Paleolithic diet, Caveman diet, Hunter-gatherer diet or Stone age diet.
Those who seek to adopt the Primal ... Read Full Story
So I'm comparing Drupal and Joomla on my test site. I want to learn both Content Management Systems (CMS), then decide which, if either, I'm going to use for my websites.
I'm not much for sitting down and reading page after page of documentation before digging into a system. It doesn't matter if it's hardware, or software, I'll only look at the documentation after I run into a problem.
Unfortunately, the problem with register globals is not actually something you can... Read Full Story
People often need to transplant when they start seedlings inside, or when they purchase plants from a store or greenhouse. Sometimes they take plants from outside of their yard and move them to the lawn or garden for decorative purposes.
This Spring, we came across some wild plants growing in the lawn that looked like they'd be nice as ornamental plants in my mom's flower garden. Before the lawn mower was repaired, my mom moved several Wild violets from the back yard to her garden.

I've enjoyed sprouts for many years. They weren't something my family normally ate, so I probably first had them at one of those sandwich shops that promote healthier sandwiches made as wraps instead of rolls.
I don't often eat wraps, but I did find alfalfa sprouts at my local grocery stores. Every so often, I would buy a package of sprouts, use them to my salads and find them a tasty addition.
I also became aware of mung bean sprouts in the Chinese food I enjoy eating, and foun... Read Full Story
Especially in the warm weather, I'm not about to buy expensive (and what I often consider to be inferior) iced coffee when I can make the best iced coffee at home.
For this article, I will mostly be adding cream and sweetener to my Iced Coffee because that's the way I like it. Obviously, you flavor your Iced Coffee to your own tastes, and can leave out whatever you don't like.
First you need to make coffee ahead of time, and store it in the refrigerator. Try to make it stronger ... Read Full Story
