As regular readers will notice, the Tech News Blog has changed a lot this week.
Originally, the blog was on the Thesis theme; which is one of the cleanest looking Wordpress themes on the planet. However, I found Thesis way too hard to adapt and modify myself.

Whilst I wanted the clean simplicity of Thesis, I needed a theme that gave me 100% freedom to design, tweak and modify the blog myself – without having to learn HTML/CSS or hire a expert. So, I decided to use Headway (I’m now an affiliate) instead.

I leave a comment in a discussion and am then instantly notified, without having to leave the screen. This makes conversations flow with ease and dramatically improves the overall experience. It will also see far more people engaging in conversations. Read on for the full review…..

Belkin have been found offering people money, to post positive comments about their products on Amazon.com! To get the money (less than a dollar per post), the fake reviewer was told to pretend they owned the product and also to mark any negative comments about Belkin's products as "unhelpful." The blame for this pathetic episode, has ...
